What is Raw Batana Oil?

 

Many people when searching for Batana Oil search "Raw Batana Oil". Raw Batana Oil should be Batana Oil if you are purchasing real Batana Oil.

Allow me to explain. Raw batana oil is extracted from the nut of the Elaeis oleifera palm, also known as the American oil palm. When someone sells real Batana oil - that is supposed to be pure unaltered Batana Oil in it's raw form. 

Raw Batana oil is also different from cold pressed batana oil. Raw batana oil refers to oil that is minimally processed, typically extracted directly from the nuts of the Elaeis oleifera palm using traditional methods, such as hand-crushing and slow extraction. This method involves little to no heat, and often no chemicals, allowing the oil to retain most of its natural nutrients, including fatty acids, antioxidants, and vitamins. The result is an oil that is deeply nourishing and potent, with a rich, sometimes earthy fragrance, and a thicker consistency. 

On the other hand, cold-pressed batana oil is extracted by mechanically pressing the batana nuts at a low temperature, usually below 120°F (49°C), to preserve the integrity of the oil’s nutrients. This method is slightly more refined than raw extraction, but still ensures that the oil maintains most of its therapeutic properties, including its hydrating and restorative benefits for hair and skin. Cold-pressed oils are often smoother in texture and may have a more neutral scent compared to raw oils. It is also are white in appearance.
