Batana and eucalyptus are different kinds of ingredients. Batana is a plant oil 
used in cosmetic conditioning; eucalyptus essential oil is a concentrated aromatic
material. Combining their names does not establish a wellness treatment or make 
a blend suitable for a diffuser, bath or irritated skin.

## Correcting the botanical names

The site’s [Batana profile](https://aunaturalorganics.com/ingredient/batana/) identifies
batana with _Elaeis oleifera_, the American oil palm. [Kew’s plant record](https://powo.science.kew.org/taxon/urn:lsid:ipni.org:names:88982-2)
recognizes that species. It is not _Mauritia flexuosa_; those names should not be
used interchangeably.

“Rainbow eucalyptus” refers to _Eucalyptus deglupta_ in [Kew’s name resources](https://mpns.science.kew.org/mpns-portal/facetFilter?filter=latinKewPrefName%3A%22Eucalyptus+deglupta+Blume%22&fuzzy=false&nameType=all&query=eucalyptus).
Do not assume a eucalyptus essential oil comes from that tree. Our [Eucalyptus profile](https://aunaturalorganics.com/ingredient/eucalyptus-blend/)
describes a different botanical source. Check the actual label and ingredient list
instead of transferring a tree’s common name to a product.

## Choosing by purpose

 * For a conditioning oil, compare texture and the directions for hair or body use.
 * For fragrance, check whether the essential oil is intended for the particular
   device or formulation.
 * Do not put a carrier oil into a diffuser unless its manufacturer explicitly allows
   it.
 * A homemade mixture is not evidence of respiratory relief, immune support, anxiety
   treatment or hair regrowth.

## Before blending

Follow the exact oil’s dilution and use directions. Do not assume that a few drops
is suitable for every application. The [Poison Control eucalyptus safety guide](https://www.poison.org/articles/eucalyptus-oil)
explains that concentrated eucalyptus oil can irritate and must not be swallowed.
Keep it away from children and avoid eyes.

This guide does not offer a therapeutic recipe. For a cosmetic formulation, use 
a tested formula and the supplier’s suitability information for each material.

## Explore each ingredient separately

Read the [Batana](https://aunaturalorganics.com/ingredient/batana/) and [Eucalyptus](https://aunaturalorganics.com/ingredient/eucalyptus-blend/)
profiles, browse [Carrier Oils](https://aunaturalorganics.com/product-category/carrier-oils/)
and [Essential Oils](https://aunaturalorganics.com/product-category/essential-oils/),
or view the individual directions for [Batana Oil](https://aunaturalorganics.com/shop/batana-oil-3-4oz-100ml/).
Separate information makes comparison more useful than a general “ultimate wellness”
promise.
