Move over rosemary oil, there’s a new scalp care hero in TikTok town.

Batana oil is the latest natural hair care oil to trend on the platform, an antioxidant that has long been known for its hair and skin benefits, yet is sweeping TikTok as the latest wonder ingredient amid claims that it stimulates hair growth and promotes scalp health.

The latest data from TikTok Shop, revealed a 168% increase in TikTok users searching for batana oil during the week commencing 4 September 2024.
