Batana oil, a substance sourced from palm nuts in Central and South American rainforests, is seeing increased popularity for its ability to repair dry hair and provide shine. The oil has traditional roots with the Miskito people of Honduras.

In related consumer testing, the magazine Öko-Test evaluated 20 hair oils to address dryness and frizz. The evaluation found that ten products received a ‘very good’ rating.
