If you searched for batana oil near you and landed here: yes, we carry it, it’s real, and you have two ways to get it.
In the Store
We’re at 1396 Fulton Street, Bed-Stuy, Brooklyn, NY 11216 — open Monday through Saturday 10am to 7pm, Sunday 12pm to 7pm. Get directions or call us at (718) 858-4400 before you come if you want to confirm we have the size you’re after.
Buying in person means you can see and smell it before you buy — real batana is dark, thick, and has that distinctive smoky, roasted scent. If you’ve only seen pale, thin “batana oil” online, come see what the real thing looks like.
Online, Shipped Nationwide
Not in Brooklyn? Order the raw batana oil straight from our online store and we’ll ship it to you. We also carry a 4oz batana hair oil if you want a version made specifically for daily hair use.

We’ve Been Here Since 1974

Frequently Asked Questions
Where can I buy real batana oil near Brooklyn? Nicholas Brooklyn carries raw, handmade batana oil at 1396 Fulton Street in Bed-Stuy, Brooklyn, NY 11216. We’re open Monday through Saturday 10am to 7pm, and Sunday 12pm to 7pm. If you’re not local, the same oil ships nationwide from our online store.
How do I know the batana oil I’m buying is real? Real batana oil is dark, thick (often solid or near-solid at room temperature), and smells smoky and nutty from the roasting process the nuts go through before pressing. If a batana oil is pale, thin, and has little to no scent, it’s likely heavily refined or cut. Come smell ours in store before you buy, or see the photos on our product page.
Do you sell batana oil for both skin and hair? Yes. The same raw batana oil works for both — we also carry a dedicated 4oz batana hair oil if you want something formulated specifically for daily hair use rather than the raw oil.
