The Miracle Oil of La Moskitia
Our uniquely crafted Fractionated Batana Oil is derived from the nut of the Elaeis oleifera—also known as the American Oil Palm—which grows wild in the lush, tropical rainforests of La Moskitia, Honduras. For centuries, the indigenous Miskito people—who proudly call themselves the Tawira, or People of Beautiful Hair—have used this nutrient-rich oil to maintain strong, long, and radiant hair. It is no wonder they have lovingly referred to it as their “Miracle Oil.”
True Batana Oil is rare and precious—its extraction requires meticulous, hands-on work passed down through generations. Each American palm tree produces 10 to 20 fruit clusters annually. The fruits are boiled, hand-pounded, and deshelled to reveal the inner nuts. These nuts are then washed, sun-dried, and cracked manually with stones to extract the kernels, which are cold-pressed to release the oil.
Our process is smoke-free and temperature-controlled to preserve the oil’s natural bioactives, unlike conventional Batana oils that are often heated excessively. The result is a smooth, brown paste, which is then fractionated—a gentle separation process that isolates the light, liquid portion of the oil from the heavier solids.
The result? A lightweight, liquid oil that retains all the powerful nutrients, but with none of the heavy, waxy texture—making it perfect for modern formulations and effortless everyday use.
