Batana Oil 2oz

To apply Batana oil to your skin and scalp, follow these steps:

1. **Preparation**: Make sure your hair and skin are clean and dry before application.

2. **Sectioning**: Divide your hair into sections if applying to the scalp. This makes it easier to apply the oil evenly.

3. **Scalp Application**: Using your fingertips, gently massage a small amount of Batana oil onto your scalp in circular motions. Start from the front and work your way to the back. Be sure to cover the entire scalp.

4. **Hair Application**: If desired, you can apply a small amount of oil to the length of your hair. Focus on the ends, as they tend to be drier.

5. **Skin Application**: If applying to the skin, take a small amount of oil and massage it onto the desired areas. You can apply it to your shins or any other dry areas of your body.

6. **Leave-in Time**: Leave the oil on your scalp and skin for at least 30 minutes, or you can leave it on overnight for a deep treatment.

7. **Wash Out**: Wash your hair and skin thoroughly using a mild shampoo and warm water. You may need to shampoo twice to ensure the oil is fully removed.

8. **Conditioning (Optional)**: Follow up with a conditioner if you applied the oil to your hair.

9. **Repeat**: You can repeat this process once or twice a week, depending on your hair and skin's needs.

Remember to do a patch test before applying Batana oil to your scalp or skin, especially if you have sensitive skin or any allergies. If you experience any irritation or discomfort, discontinue use.

**Our Unique Fractionated Batana Oil**

Our Batana Oil is 100% pure with no additives or fragrances. It is extracted from the nut of the Elaeis oleifera, commonly known as the American Oil Palm, which grows wild in the tropical rainforests of La Moskitia, Honduras. For hundreds of years, the native Miskito people of Honduras have credited Batana Oil, or the "Miracle Oil," with helping them grow long, strong hair. They refer to themselves as Tawira, meaning "People of Beautiful Hair."

**Extraction Process**

Batana Oil is a rare and valuable oil because its extraction process is labor-intensive and mostly manual. Each American palm tree produces 10 to 20 large bunches of fruit annually. The fruits are boiled, pounded to remove the orange outer shell, and then the nuts are extracted. These nuts are washed, sun-dried, and cracked using a stone to release the kernel. The kernels are then cooked over a fire to extract the oil, which cools to a smooth brown solid-paste at room temperature. This paste undergoes fractionation, a process that separates the liquid oil from the heavier components. The resulting fractionated Batana Oil is rich in liquid unsaturated fatty acids and is liquid at room temperature, making it convenient and desirable for use.

**Reported Benefits and Uses**

Batana Oil is rich in Tocopherols and Tocotrienols (Vitamin E), which protect against UV rays and environmental pollution while fighting free radicals that cause wrinkles and signs of aging. It is high in Omega-6 Linoleic Acid, known for its anti-inflammatory properties that help diminish acne. The oil also contains phytosterols and carotenoids, which provide anti-aging benefits by promoting new collagen production, keeping skin elastic and firm.

Batana Oil is an excellent emollient that nourishes the hair and scalp. It can transform dry or damaged hair, making it soft and beautiful, even after exposure to UV rays, pollution, hair dyes, or other chemical treatments.
