Beware of fakes
Same name. Not the same batana.
Batana went viral, and the shelves filled up with products that only share its name. Here is how to tell the real thing in under a minute, before you spend a cent.
- Scent: Real batana smells warm, nutty and lightly roasted, slightly smoky.An odourless product has been deodorised. A perfumed one has fragrance added to hide what is (or isn’t) inside.
- Texture: A real batana butter is firm in the jar and melts in your palms.Tip the jar in a cool room: it holds its shape. Warm it in your hands and it melts into oil. A cream that is runny or whipped at any temperature is mostly filler.
- Label: The ingredient list starts with Elaeis Oleifera.Elaeis Guineensis is ordinary African palm oil. “Batana blend”, “batana complex” or a long list of ingredients means batana is a minor part of the formula.
- Percentage: Honest brands print how much batana is inside.If the percentage is missing, it is usually low. Ours is on every jar: 30% batana in the cream.
