Batana oil is a rich, nourishing oil traditionally extracted from the fruit or nuts of the American oil palm (Elaeis oleifera), a palm native to parts of Central and South America. It has a long history of traditional use by the Indigenous Miskito people of Honduras as a natural hair and skin treatment. Because of its rich texture and traditional reputation for supporting healthy-looking hair, it is sometimes described as “liquid gold.”
