Made from the American palm tree found in the tropical rainforests of Central and South America, Batana Oil is very rare because it's production is so labor-intensive and has to be done almost entirely by hand. One by one the kernels are removed. Again It's a labour intensive job. The traditional way to make palm kernel oil is a long process, That's the reason it's so expensive. After that the kernels are washed and than soaked in water for 3 days. After that they are roasted for 30-45 minutes, The palm kernels after removing from the nuts after roasting the kernels then the oil is separated.
Batana Oil is high in Oleic and Linoleic Acids, Vitamin E, and is a superior emollient that can help heal dry and damaged hair, moisturize the scalp, and can protect the skin against UV rays, while keeping the skin elastic and firm
Color: Unless the oil is cold pressed, which is very light in color (almost ivory white), Batana shouldn’t be any other color but very dark brown to black in its liquid form or brown to dark brown in its solid form (see our images above). This is especially the case for the first phase of the roasted oil.
Sometimes, the outer shells of the kernels (which also contain a substantial amount of oil) are crushed and blended into the oil, which produces a mid-brown color.
Some oils go through heavier processing or are mixed with other ingredients. If your oil is mixed with other oils or with red palm oil (which comes from the fruit), you might expect a lighter color.
Melting test: Batana oil, when applied to your skin, will melt and absorb very easily into your skin. It should never sit on top of your skin. Even in room temperature, it should show signs of melting unless you’re in a very cold country.
WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN WEST AFRICAN BATANA AND HONDURAN BATANA?
COMPOSITION AND BENEFITS
West African palm kernel oil is rich in lauric acid, a fatty acid known for its antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties. It’s great for strengthening hair and works well for people with acne-prone or eczema-prone skin since lauric acid helps prevent clogged pores and irritation.
Honduran Batana oil, on the other hand, contains more oleic acid. Oleic acid is heavier than lauric acid and is an excellent moisturizer. However, it may not be ideal for eczema- or acne-prone skin.
While both oils benefit hair, the choice depends on your skin type, hair needs, and budget.
