INCI: Elaeis Oleifera Kernel Oil

Essentially Natural Batana Oil is a rich, cold pressed and unrefined oil derived from Elaeis oleifera , favoured in intensive hair care and skin conditioning routines where a heavier, more cushioning feel is preferred. It is especially popular in pre-shampoo treatments, hair-strengthening style routines, rich hair oils and targeted body care for very dry-feeling areas. This oil is oil soluble, not water soluble, and can partially solidify in cooler temperatures because of its naturally rich character.

♡ Why we love it: Batana Oil brings a deeply rich, concentrated feel that works especially well in intensive hair care and protective body care routines. It suits a more dedicated style of natural care and can be used neat in small amounts or softened with lighter carrier oils.
