Escentia Batana Fruit Oil - Cold Pressed - 100ML

Features

Description

Escentia Batana Fruit Oil is a rich, cold-pressed and non-fractionated oil from the fruit of Elaeis oleifera , also known as Ojon Oil. Unlike lighter batana oils, it retains its naturally thick, semi-solid consistency, deep orange to red colour and characteristic nutty aroma. Its substantial texture makes it particularly suited to intensive hair treatments, scalp oils, rich body care and formulations where deep conditioning and a protective emollient feel are wanted.

Why we love it: Its wonderfully thick texture and vivid natural colour make it feel much closer to a soft botanical butter than a conventional carrier oil. It is a particularly interesting choice for rich hair masks, nourishing scalp treatments and deeply conditioning body formulations.

Safety Instructions For external use only Do not ingest Avoid contact with eyes Patch test before first use Discontinue use if irritation occurs Keep out of reach of children and pets FAQs Q: Why does my Batana Oil feel quite firm?

A: Thats completely normal for this oil. Batana Fruit Oil is naturally rich and can become quite thick or semi-solid when its cool. If needed, simply warm it gently to soften it before use. Q: Is this Batana Oil made from the fruit or the kernel? A: This one is made from the fruit of Elaeis oleifera .

You may also see this type of oil referred to as Ojon Oil. Q: Is Batana Oil the same as Ojon Oil? A: Good question. In this case, yes. Ojon Oil is another name commonly used for Elaeis oleifera fruit oil. However, some products sold as Batana Oil are made from the kernel rather than the fruit, and those are not the same as Ojon Oil.

Q: My Batana Oil looks darker or smells stronger than other carrier oils. Is that normal? A: Yes. This oil naturally has a deep orange to red colour and a distinctive nutty aroma, so it looks and smells quite different from pale, neutral carrier oils. Q: Can I use Batana Oil on fine hair? A: You can, but keep in mind that a little goes a long way.
