Product Description:

A 100% pure, unrefined, and cold-pressed hair oil sustainably harvested from the nuts of the American Palm tree (Elaeis oleifera), indigenous to the Mosquitia region of Honduras. Known traditionally as "Batana" or "Ojon" oil, this rich, dense oil is revered for its deep restorative properties. It penetrates the hair shaft to strengthen, add incredible shine, and protect hair from environmental and styling damage. Its distinctive, earthy aroma is a hallmark of its authenticity.
