Origins of Batana Oil
The oil is made from the nuts of Elaeis palm trees, which are native to Central America and particularly Honduras. Indigenous communities such as the Garifuna of Honduras have been using batana oil for hair growth for centuries as a natural remedy to treat hair and scalp problems. The nuts are traditionally harvested, dried in the sun, and cold pressed to obtain the golden oil. This oil is known for its restorative and nourishing properties.
