Sourcing

From La Ceiba
to your formulation.

There is one true source of Elaeis oleifera. Here is where it grows, who harvests it, and how every shipment stays traceable end to end.

The only true source

La Ceiba, Honduras.

The American oil palm grows wild in the rainforests of La Ceiba — the Atlántida region on Honduras's northern coast. It does not grow in the places most “batana” is shipped from. Geography is the first proof of authenticity.

Chain of custody

The journey of a single shipment.

Five documented stages, harvest to customer. Each one leaves a record.

STAGE 01

Harvest

Miskito harvesters gather ripe fruit from wild Elaeis oleifera in La Ceiba.

STAGE 02

Pressing

Fruit is processed and cold-pressed into unrefined, virgin oil — deep red-brown.

STAGE 03

Lab test

GC-MS and FTIR confirm authenticity and composition. A COA is issued for the batch.

STAGE 04

Warehouse

Drums move to a bonded warehouse with documented chain-of-custody.

STAGE 05

Customer

Shipped to your lab or facility — COA, MSDS, and origin certificate included.
