Batana oil is packed with nutrients, making it a plant-based powerhouse for nourishing skin. Ron Robinson, cosmetic chemist turned BeautyStat founder, explains: "Given it is rich in vitamins and Omega-6 fatty acids, it can work as an emollient to help moisturize the skin," (via InStyle). When applied to the face, it can be hydrating and soothing while offering even more benefits. These acids, like linoleic acid, help to plump skin and reduce the signs of aging, as do the phytosterols and carotenoids also found in batana oil.
But that's not all; it has antioxidants like tocopherols and tocotrienols, two substances known as free-radical scavengers. You may have heard of free radicals, those cell-damaging molecules that can trigger oxidative stress. The stress often appears as wrinkles, dark spots, sagging, and a dull, uneven skin tone. Things like UV radiation from the sun and environmental pollution can provoke free radicals, leaving you with unwanted signs of aging. Dr. Lauren Penzi, a board-certified dermatologist, told InStyle that batana oil protects your epidermis from environmental factors like UV rays while its antioxidants battle photodamage, almost like sunscreen.
