Where to Buy Batana Oil in Canada
Batana is a rich, dark plant oil that has become a wash-day favourite for anyone who wants softer, more manageable hair. If you are shopping for it in Canada, here is how we think about picking a bottle you will actually reach for.
A few things worth checking
- How you want to use it. Some batana is sold pure and thick; ours is blended into lighter oils so it spreads easily before you shampoo.
- What else is in the bottle. A short, honest ingredient list beats vague promises.
- Where it ships from. Buying inside Canada usually means faster delivery and no surprise customs fees at the door.
- The claims. Be a little wary of anything promising dramatic hair growth. We keep our claims modest on purpose.
Our take: batana in a pre-wash oil
Instead of a heavy solid balm, we blend batana into a treatment oil you apply before washing. That way it does its conditioning work on dry hair, then rinses out cleanly so your hair does not feel weighed down afterwards.

Why oil before shampoo, not after
Wet hair swells and its outer layer lifts a little, which is exactly when it loses moisture fastest during washing. Coating dry hair with oil first gives it a light barrier before that happens. A leave-in oil works differently: it goes on after washing, once hair is already wet, so it mostly sits on the outside rather than protecting hair through the wash itself.
How to use it
- Apply to dry hair and scalp, focusing on the lengths and ends.
- Leave it on for 30-120 minutes.
- Shampoo thoroughly, lathering twice if needed.
- Repeat 1-2 times a week.
If you want a finishing step for after wash day, the Mermaid Hair Duo pairs this pre-wash with a lightweight Argan & Camellia oil.

Will batana oil grow my hair?
We do not make hair growth claims. What we can honestly say is that hair tends to feel softer, smoother, and less rough after a pre-wash treatment.
