Product information
Frequently bought together
You warm a fingertip of the caramel butter, work it into the scalp, and the dry ends drink it up.
This is MBOAH unrefined 100 percent Batana oil in a 120 g jar. It sits as a thick, caramel coloured butter rather than a runny liquid, so you scoop a small amount, warm it between the fingers and massage it into the scalp and through the lengths. Nothing else is added: the jar holds raw, unrefined Batana oil.
The texture is dense and balm like, melting on contact with the warmth of the hands so it spreads without dripping down the neck. The amber jar twists open under a black lid and the butter keeps its rich brown tone. Offered in a single 120 g size, used as a leave in a few times a week rather than rinsed straight out.

What It Is
Batana oil is a heavy oil traditionally used in Honduras on hair and scalp, which is why it comes as a butter you massage in rather than a lotion you rinse away. Warming it in the hands thins it just enough to coat the scalp and slide down the strand, where it softens dry ends.
Rich in nutrients, Batana oil is the Honduran oil people reach for to soften dry, brittle lengths and tame frizz between washes. Worked into the scalp and hair a few times a week, it conditions deeply and, with repeated use, leaves hair looking fuller, thicker and healthier. Massage it in, leave it to absorb, and let the oil settle into your routine.
Quick Product Facts: contents: 100 percent unrefined Batana oil; brand: MBOAH; size: 120 g, 4.2 oz; texture: thick caramel butter; use: massage into scalp and lengths as a leave in; jar: amber glass with black lid.
How It Fits Your Routine
Scoop a small amount, warm it between the fingertips until it softens, then massage it into the scalp in slow circles and draw the rest down through the lengths to the ends.
Leave it in to absorb, on damp or dry hair, a few times a week. On wash days you can apply it as a pre wash treatment before shampoo, or use it sparingly on dry ends between washes to tame frizz.
A little goes a long way, so start with less than you think and keep the lid sealed so the unrefined oil holds its rich tone.

Customer reviews
Real customer feedback on this product.
Based on 22 reviews
Customers describe this MBOAH Batana oil as a thick, caramel coloured butter that melts in the hands and works easily into the scalp and lengths. Many like that it is unrefined and that a little goes a long way, so the compact 120g jar lasts. Reviewers say it leaves dry ends softer and the hair looking fuller and healthier with regular use, and several keep it as part of a few times a week routine. A handful bought it as a gift. How quickly people notice a difference varies.
A little goes a long way
I almost used too much the first time. You really only need a small scoop. I massage it into my scalp a couple of times a week and draw the rest down the lengths. The jar is small but it is lasting me ages because you use so little.
Good for dry ends
My ends were dry and a bit brittle. This thick caramel butter coats them and they feel smoother now. It is rich so I keep it mostly on the lengths and use a light hand at the roots. Happy with it as a leave in a few times a week.
My curls drink it up
I have curly hair that always wants more moisture and this really helps. The butter warms up and spreads through without dripping. My curls look fuller and feel softer the morning after. I leave it in overnight sometimes and rinse on wash day.
Simple scalp routine
I wanted something easy and this is it. Scoop, warm, massage into the scalp, done. No mess, no drips. The texture is like a thick balm that melts. My hair looks healthier and the scalp feels better since I started a few times a week.
Rich and unrefined
I liked that it is 100 percent unrefined with nothing else added. It is a proper thick butter so you have to warm it. Once you do it goes on smooth. I use it as a pre wash treatment before shampoo and my hair feels softer afterwards.
Ends look fuller
After about a month of using it a few times a week my lengths look fuller and the dry ends are not as straw like. I warm a small amount and work it from scalp to tips. The caramel colour does not stain or anything, it just melts in.
Lovely scalp massage
Using this for the scalp massage has become my favourite part of the week. The butter melts between the fingers and the slow circles feel great. My hair looks healthier and the small jar means it sits neatly in my bathroom shelf.
Best on damp hair for me
I found it spreads easiest when I put it on damp hair after a wash. A small scoop warmed in the hands and drawn through the lengths leaves them soft without feeling heavy. I keep it to the ends mostly. The jar is compact and travels well.
No more drips
The thing I like most is that it is a butter not a liquid, so nothing runs down my neck like the oils I used before. You scoop, warm and massage. My hair feels conditioned and looks fuller. Started with too much, now I use very little.
Softer hair within weeks
My dry strands feel noticeably softer after a few weeks of using it a couple of times a week. It is a rich caramel butter that melts on contact. I massage it into the scalp and pull the rest through. A small jar but it lasts because you use so little.
Rich, use sparingly
This is a heavy butter so the key is to use a small amount and warm it well. When I did that my hair looked fuller and the ends were smoother. Too much at first made it feel greasy, my own fault. Now I have the hang of it I really like it.
Great leave in
I leave it in a few times a week and let it absorb. The butter texture is so easy to work with once warmed and it does not drip. My hair feels conditioned and the dry ends look healthier. The little amber jar is cute and sits on my shelf.
Easy addition to my routine
I do not have time for complicated hair stuff. This is just scoop, warm, massage in. I use it on the scalp and lengths a couple of times a week and my hair looks fuller and feels softer. The unrefined formula was what sold me.
Good for coily hair
My coily hair loves rich oils and this dense butter really coats it. I warm a small scoop and work it from roots to ends, then leave it in. It looks fuller and feels moisturised the next day. I keep the amount light so it does not weigh down.
Bought one for my mum too
Liked it so much I got a second jar for my mum. The thick caramel butter melts in the hands and goes on without mess. Her dry ends and mine both look healthier. We both keep to a small scoop a few times a week and the jars last well.
Conditions without the drip
Most hair oils I tried ran everywhere. This butter stays put once you warm it and work it in. My scalp feels better and the lengths look fuller. I use it as a pre wash treatment some weeks and on dry ends other days. Versatile and tidy.
Rich treat for the hair
It feels like a proper treatment. The dense butter warms into a smooth balm and I massage it into the scalp slowly. My hair looks healthier and the ends are softer. It is rich so I keep the amount small. The compact jar is easy to travel with.
Fuller looking lengths
After regular use my lengths look fuller and the dry ends behave better. I warm a small scoop and draw it through after washing. The caramel butter melts right in and does not drip. The little amber jar lasts because you only need a touch.
Simple and effective
No fuss product. Unrefined butter, scoop a little, warm it, massage in. My hair looks healthier and the scalp feels good. I like that there is nothing else added. A few times a week is all it takes and the jar is lasting me a long time.
Softer ends, small jar lasts
My ends were dry and now they feel softer and look healthier. The butter is rich so a little does the job. I warm it in my hands and focus on the lengths. The 120g jar looked small at first but it is lasting because you use so little each time.
Lovely texture, easy to use
The thick caramel butter is so satisfying to use. It melts on contact and spreads without running. I massage it into the scalp and pull the rest down the lengths a couple of times a week. My hair looks fuller and feels nourished. Really pleased.
I was surprised it is a thick butter and not a runny oil. You scoop a little, warm it in your hands and it just melts into the scalp. My ends feel so much softer after a few weeks and it does not drip everywhere like the oils I tried before.
