15. Is 'liquified' batana oil real? 

This one needs clarification. Remember, Batana Oil is solid in cold temperatures and liquid in warm. However, if the Batana Oil is completely liquid and does not solidify with cold temperatures then it is not pure. There are companies that sell "Batana Oil" as a pure liquid with a dropper. That is not pure 100%.
