Real batana oil. Nothing else.
Hand-pressed in La Mosquitia, Honduras. One ingredient, unrefined, exactly as it has been made for generations.
Ancestral care, made simple
One ingredient. Nothing hiding behind it.
Real batana oil is thick, warm and nutty. It melts the second it touches your hands. That is how you know it has not been watered down.
01
Deep moisture
Softens dry, coarse, colour-worn hair and brings back a real, honest shine.
02
A scalp ritual
Warm a little between your palms and massage it in. Once or twice a week is plenty.
03
Multi-use
Pre-wash treatment, overnight mask, or the smallest touch smoothed onto dry ends.
Your three step ritual
Warm. Massage. Restore.
It takes two minutes and it is genuinely nice to do.
Step one
Warm
Scoop a small amount and soften it between your palms until it turns to oil.
Step two
Massage
Work it into your scalp, then down through the mid lengths and ends.
Step three
Restore
Leave 30 to 60 minutes, or overnight for very dry hair, then wash as normal.
La Mosquitia, Honduras
One ingredient. Generations of ritual.
Batana comes from the nut of the American oil palm, hand pressed by the Miskito people of La Mosquitia. It has been used there for hair and skin far longer than any of us have been selling it.
We keep ours unrefined, so it arrives thick, deep amber and warmly nutty. No silicones, no fillers, no fragrance added to cover anything up.
Before & after
Softer, smoother, shinier-looking hair
Across every texture, from coils to silver curls.
Results vary from person to person. Cosmetic product.

Good questions
What does it smell and feel like?
Thick, almost solid in the jar, and warmly nutty. Not perfumed. Warm a little between your palms and it turns into a smooth, easy to spread oil.
My jar arrived very soft. Is that normal?
Yes. Batana softens in heat and firms up when cool. It does not affect the quality. If yours is too soft, put the closed jar in the fridge for half a day. Do not freeze it.
How often should I use it?
Once or twice a week as a pre-wash treatment is plenty for most people. A pea sized amount on dry ends in between if you like.
Can I use it on all hair types?
It suits dry, dull, frizzy, coarse, curly, coily, thick and colour treated hair. If your hair is very fine, use a small amount on the ends only.
How big is the jar?
120ml, about 4.1 oz. Most people find one jar lasts six to eight weeks with weekly use.
