Overview

The hard, protective shell of the walnut is ground into various particle sizes for cosmetic use. Its hardness provides an effective mechanical exfoliation, stimulating circulation and leaving the skin feeling fresh and renewed. It is a natural, biodegradable alternative to plastic microbeads often found in commercial exfoliants.

  • French: Coquille de noix
  • German: Walnussschale
  • Chinese: Hétáo ké (核桃壳)
  • Arabic: اﻟﺟوز ﻗﺷرة (Qishrat al-jawz)
  • Spanish: Cáscara de nuez
  • Russian: Скорлупа грецкого ореха (Skorlupa gretskogo orekha)
  • Japanese: クルミの殻 (Kurumi no kara)

Walnut shell powder is not used for internal consumption but is a highly effective natural exfoliant for skincare. Its fine, gritty texture makes it an excellent ingredient for scrubs, helping to slough away dead skin cells, remove impurities from pores, and polish the skin to reveal a smoother, brighter complexion.

  • For a Revitalizing Body Scrub: Mix Walnut Shell powder with a creamy base like yogurt or a carrier oil like SUPHERB® Almond Oil. Massage in circular motions over the body, paying attention to rough areas like elbows and knees, then rinse thoroughly.
  • For a Deep-Cleansing Face Scrub: Combine a smaller amount with a gentle cleanser or honey for a facial exfoliant. Use gently and avoid if you have very sensitive or inflamed skin.
