What is Batana oil?
Batana oil is extracted from the nuts of this palm tree. The tree is called the American oil palm because it is found in South and Central America. Especially in Honduras and Brazil. The nuts are rich in oil, which is extracted by cold pressing. The American oil palm is rarely planted on plantations, which is why it is rare.
The indigenous Miskito people in Honduras have been using Batana oil for hundreds of years. They call it "miracle oil" because they say it has helped them to grow longer and stronger hair. It is also said to have many benefits for the skin. 
Batana oil actually contains several natural fats. These are rich in omega-6 and omega-9, which can reduce the evaporation of water from the skin, making it less dry. In addition, the oil contains a lot of vitamin E. This vitamin has strong antioxidant properties. It is known for its nourishing and healing properties for skin and hair. 
Batana oil also has a surprising benefit not found in most natural oils on the market: it also protects our skin from UV rays. (Not enough to replace sunscreen, though!) Batana oil contains tocopherols and tocotrienols, which act as antioxidants. They protect the skin from UV rays and environmental pollution and at the same time fight free radicals that lead to sun damage.
