Why Use Batana Oil on Your Skin?

Raw Batana oil is rich in:

  • Essential fatty acids (oleic and linoleic acid) for moisture
  • Tocotrienols, a rare and potent form of Vitamin E
  • Carotenoids and phytosterols to support skin elasticity
  • Natural antioxidants to protect against environmental stress

It’s 100% natural, cruelty-free, and safe for all skin types, making it the ideal choice for conscious beauty lovers.

1. As a Daily Moisturiser

Batana oil absorbs quickly, leaving your skin soft, nourished, and non-greasy. It’s ideal for dry patches, elbows, knees, and hands.

How to use:

  • Warm a pea-sized amount in your hands
  • Gently massage into clean skin
  • Best used after showering when skin is slightly damp

📌 Tip: A little goes a long way! Batana oil is highly concentrated.

2. To Fade Scars & Stretch Marks

Thanks to its regenerative properties, Batana oil can help improve skin texture and reduce the appearance of stretch marks, surgical scars, or old blemishes over time.

How to use:

  • Apply a small amount to the affected area twice daily
  • Massage in circular motions until fully absorbed
  • Use consistently for 4–6 weeks for visible results ( Results can vary )

3. To Soothe Eczema, Psoriasis & Irritation

Batana oil has natural anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial compounds that calm irritated skin, making it ideal for flare-ups, dry patches, or minor rashes.

How to use:

  • Apply a thin layer to clean, dry skin
  • Avoid using on open wounds
  • Pair with a gentle cleanser and avoid harsh soaps

⚠️ Always do a patch test before full application if you have sensitive skin.

4. As a Nighttime Face Oil

Use it as a rich facial treatment to wake up with plumper, smoother, and more radiant skin.

How to use:

  • Cleanse your face as usual
  • Warm 2–3 drops between fingertips
  • Press gently into skin, avoiding eyes
  • Layer over a serum if desired

It’s especially beneficial for dry, mature, or sun-damaged skin.

5. For Lip & Cuticle Care

Don’t forget your lips and nails! Batana oil helps heal cracked lips and soften rough cuticles.

How to use:

  • Dab a tiny amount onto lips as a balm
  • Massage into cuticles daily to encourage healthy nail growth

6. As a Body Treatment Oil

Massage Batana oil over your full body post-shower to lock in moisture and improve skin tone and elasticity.

Bonus: It also works brilliantly as a massage oil due to its natural slip and warmth when melted.

7. Mixing Batana Oil for Scent or Glow

While raw Batana oil is rich and powerful, its earthy, roasted scent isn’t for everyone. The good news? You can easily customise it at home—either to enhance its fragrance or turn it into a luxe shimmer body oil.

To Make It Smell Better

Blend Batana oil with aromatic, skin-loving oils that complement its benefits and improve the scent. Try:

  • Jojoba oil – lightweight and balances Batana's richness
  • Sweet almond oil – adds a subtle, nutty sweetness
  • Rosehip oil – great for anti-ageing and brightening
  • Essential oils – like lavender, ylang-ylang, or vanilla for fragrance

DIY Recipe Idea:

  • 1 tablespoon Batana oil
  • 1 tablespoon jojoba oil
  • 3–5 drops of essential oil (e.g. lavender or bergamot)
    Mix well and store in a glass dropper bottle.

To Create a Shimmer Body Oil

Turn your Batana oil into a summer-ready shimmer elixir with just two ingredients:

  • 2 tbsp Batana oil (softened or melted)
  • ½ tsp cosmetic-grade mica powder (gold, bronze, or rose gold)

Mix until smooth and apply to shoulders, collarbones, or legs for a moisturising glow that highlights your skin beautifully.

Pro tip: Use a recycled glass serum bottle or body oil pump for easy application and minimal mess.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Batana oil safe for acne-prone skin?

While it’s non-toxic and nutrient-rich, Batana oil is highly emollient, so it may not suit oily or acne-prone skin types. Use sparingly or avoid facial application if you're prone to breakouts. Always do a patch test before full application if you have sensitive skin.

Does it have a strong smell?

Yes, it has a natural, roasted, nutty aroma. This is a sign of raw, unrefined authenticity. The scent fades quickly after application.

How should I store it?

Keep it in a cool, dry place. It may solidify in cooler temperatures. To soften, simply warm between your hands or place the jar in warm water for a few minutes.
