Batana Oil — Honduras’ Sacred Hair & Scalp Treasure
Celebrate one of the most revered beauty secrets of the Garifuna people. Our Batana Oil Collection features pure, wild-harvested Honduran batana, known for transforming dry, thinning, damaged hair into nourished, fuller, visibly healthier strands.
Batana is rich, earthy, and deeply restorative — naturally packed with antioxidants, fatty acids, and strengthening nutrients that support growth, shine, and scalp renewal. Whether you prefer ready-to-use oils and blends or the traditional raw form, each option offers its own unique benefits.

Unlike the liquid or blended versions, raw batana is not a leave-in.
It behaves like a solid butter and must be melted with your hands before applying. Because it is so rich and concentrated, it should be used as a pre-poo treatment only, not a styling product.
The correct way to use raw batana:
This method gives maximum shine, thickness, and repair — especially for damaged, over-processed, or naturally coarse hair.
