How do I read this graph?

Each valley represents a chemical “fingerprint” of Batana’s fatty‑acid chains. A > 95 % overlap means the sample is chemically identical to the certified reference—proof it hasn’t been cut with cheaper oils.

Batana FAQs—Fast & Straightforward

Where do you source your Batana?

From a women‑run cooperative in La Mosquitia, Honduras. Kernels are cold‑pressed within six hours of harvest, then sealed and air‑shipped to our fill facility.

What makes Batana a “miracle oil” for growth?

High oleic & palmitic acids for penetration, tocotrienols for antioxidant power, and natural squalene to balance the scalp barrier.

Will it weigh my hair down?

No. It melts at 32 °C, absorbing quickly with a dry coffee‑nut aroma—never greasy.

Is it safe for color‑treated or relaxed hair?

Yes. It’s peroxide‑free, silicone‑free, and won’t strip dye molecules.

Do you test on animals?

Never. Certified vegan and Leaping‑Bunny compliant.

Our Three‑Step Purity Protocol

  1. Barcode chain‑of‑custody from farm lot → press lot → fill lot.
  2. Nitrogen flush + amber glass to freeze oxidation.
  3. Quarterly third‑party testing (FT‑IR today, heavy‑metal & microbial panels coming soon).
