Liquid, lightweight, and ready to absorb, sourced directly from La Moskitia, Honduras.
What It Does
Batana Oil conditions dry hair, helps seal in moisture, and leaves strands feeling softer, smoother, and more manageable.
Applied to damp hair after washing, it lightly coats the strands to help slow moisture loss and reduce dryness between wash days. Used before shampooing, it conditions the hair and helps protect against dryness caused by cleansing and everyday manipulation.
