African Batana (Palm Kernel) Oil

African Batana (Palm Kernel) Oil: Africa’s Sweet, Restorative gem

Pure, powerful, hypoallergenic, that is oh-so-gentle for your skin and hair.

Our African Batana Oil—100% unrefined Palm Kernel Oil—is a radiant treasure straight from the African oil palm (Elaeis guineensis). Given its natural properties, there is no reason to mix Palm Kernel Oil since it is packed with lauric acid for restorative and hypoallergenic magic. Moreover, its rich history in the West Side of Africa makes an exotic, yet powerful nourishment that soothes, protects, and revitalizes. *

Got sensitive skin acting up? Hair feeling brittle or scalp begging for relief? African Batana (Palm Kernel) Oil is perfect for sensitive skin and hair with its gentle, healing touch to give your beauty routine a vibrant boost.

What’s Inside:

• Palm Kernel Oil – Slow-extracted from the kernel of the African oil palm, bursting with lauric acid to restore and protect like a dream.

Why It Shines:

• Hypoallergenic Hero: So gentle, it calms even the most sensitive skin without a hint of irritation.

• Restorative Magic: Heals dry, irritated skin and strengthens hair, leaving you glowing from head to toe.

• Antimicrobial Powerhouse: Fights off bacteria to keep your skin and scalp clear and healthy.

• Deep Nourishment: Locks in moisture while rebuilding your skin’s natural barrier.

African Batana Oil vs. Actual Batana Oil:
Unfortunately, in the US, Palm Kernel Oil is often sold with a moniker despite its powerful differences. Don’t confuse this gem with Batana Oil from the US! While both are fabulous, they’ve got different vibes:

• African Batana (Palm Kernel) Oil: Packed with lauric acid, it’s your go-to for soothing sensitive skin, fighting bacteria, and restoring hair and scalp health. Perfect for those needing gentle, healing care.

• Actual Batana Oil (from Elaeis oleifera in Central America): Loaded with oleic acid, it’s a moisture maestro, ideal for deep hydration and glossy, breakage-free hair. Great for lush, luxurious moisture but less focused on restorative or antimicrobial benefits.
  We love and sell both, but African Batana Oil’s hypoallergenic and restorative edge is a great tool for your beauty or healthy practices that require sensitive and repair-focused routines!
