Not sure it's pure Batana oil
I'm not a botanical expert, so I may be totally wrong about this, but based on the ingredients, I don't think this is pure Batana Oil. The ingredient list (typos included) reads:
"Elaeis Oleifera Kernel Oil, Babassuamide DEA, AscorbicAcid, Phytosterols, Carotenoids, Vitamins c."
The last 4 ingredients might just be components of the oil itself, rather than additives. But Elaeis Oleifera (American Palm) Kernel Oil is Batana oil. But Babassuamide DEA is an oil that comes from the kernels of the babassu palm, not the American palm. Sure, it's still "palm kernel oil", but if I wanted just any ol' palm kernel oil, then I'd use some out of the cooking oil bottle in the kitchen and save myself a buck. I wanted 100% Pure Batana oil.
I also can't figure out why the description talks about it containing Vitamin E, when that isn't listed as an ingredient. If it's been added, then it definitely needs to be listed on the package. If it's a natural chemical part of the oil itself, and the same is true of the Vitamin C listed, then why not list both separately? Or is the Vitamin C listed because it's been added despite them saying it's pure Batana oil? I don't know.
So if you just want some kind of palm kernel oil to moisturize your hair, and you're not particular about whether or not it's really pure Batana oil, then this might be the oil for you. But, if you're a stickler for purity, maybe not. And there are lots of cheaper Batana-type palm oils out there that aren't true Batana, if price is more important to you than purity.
