Unrefined Batana Deep-Conditioning Hair Oil, 118ml

This Unrefined Batana Deep-Conditioning Hair Oil is a raw, unprocessed batana oil — exactly as it is sourced from the American oil palm fruit, without further refinement. Unrefined batana oil retains its full complement of natural conditioning compounds and characteristic deep amber colour, making it one of the most authentic and intensive botanical hair conditioning oils available. Apply generously as a pre-shampoo treatment for visibly softer, shinier, and more nourished-looking hair.

Best For

Hero Ingredients

• Unrefined Batana Oil (Raw American Oil Palm Fruit Oil) — an unprocessed, raw botanical oil that retains its full natural conditioning compounds; traditionally sourced from Central America and prized for intensive hair and scalp nourishment

How to Use

1. Warm a generous amount of oil between the palms before applying — this helps the unrefined oil spread more easily through the hair.
2. Apply from scalp to ends, working through the hair section by section.
3. Cover with a hair cap or wrap and leave for 20–60 minutes (or overnight for intensive conditioning).
4. Shampoo out thoroughly with warm water — a second shampoo may be needed to remove all the oil.
5. Condition as normal. Style as usual.

When to Use

Use as a pre-shampoo deep conditioning treatment 1–2 times per week for hair that needs intensive moisture and conditioning. For very dry or brittle-looking hair, leave on overnight under a hair cap for an intensive batana oil treatment. Unrefined batana oil has a richer, more potent conditioning effect than refined versions — a little extra goes a long way.

Texture / Format / Size

A thick, rich, deeply amber-coloured oil with a pronounced warm, earthy scent — both characteristics of authentic unrefined batana oil. The unrefined formula is denser than refined oils and benefits from slight warming before application. Presented in a 118ml bottle. Two rounds of shampooing may be required to fully remove the oil after deep conditioning treatment.

• Rinse immediately with plenty of water if contact occurs with eyes.
• Keep out of reach of children.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between unrefined and refined batana oil?
Unrefined batana oil is raw and unprocessed, retaining its natural colour, scent, and full conditioning compound profile. Refined versions undergo processing that lightens the colour and reduces the scent. Unrefined oil is considered to be more authentic and intensively conditioning, but may require extra shampooing to rinse out.

Why does unrefined batana oil smell different?
The distinctive warm, earthy natural scent is a marker of authentic unrefined batana oil. It is natural and will largely rinse out with shampooing when used as a pre-treatment.

How many times do I need to shampoo to remove it?
Two shampoo rounds are typically recommended to fully cleanse unrefined batana oil from the hair after a deep conditioning treatment. Follow with conditioner as usual.

Is this suitable for all hair types?
Yes — though the rich, unrefined formula is particularly appreciated by those with dry, thick, coarse, or heavily damaged-looking hair. Those with fine hair should use a smaller amount and focus on the ends rather than the roots.
