General Description:

Walnut Shell 80/100 refers to finely ground particles of natural walnut shells, typically sized between 80 and 100 mesh, offering a gentle yet effective abrasive texture. It is a biodegradable, eco-friendly exfoliant derived from the hard outer shell of walnuts and is widely used as a natural alternative to synthetic microbeads. With its ability to slough away dead skin cells without harsh chemicals, Walnut Shell 80/100 is a popular ingredient in personal care and cosmetic formulations focused on sustainability and skin renewal. It is available in bulk and wholesale quantities, making it ideal for large-scale manufacturing of exfoliating products.

Uses in the Cosmetics Industry:

Walnut Shell 80/100 is commonly used in:

Facial and body scrubs for mechanical exfoliation to improve skin texture and promote cell turnover.
Foot scrubs and hand cleaners for deep cleansing and removal of tough or dry skin.
Soaps and cleansing bars to provide a natural exfoliating effect.
Scalp scrubs and hair care treatments to help remove product buildup and flakes.
Sustainable and "zero waste" beauty products as a natural exfoliant alternative to plastic microbeads.
Its particle size makes it gentle enough for body use while still offering effective exfoliation.

Side Effects & Hazards:

Walnut Shell 80/100 is generally safe and well-tolerated in cosmetic formulations, but improper use or overly frequent exfoliation may cause skin irritation or microtears, especially on sensitive or acne-prone skin. It should not be used on broken or inflamed skin. Individuals with nut allergies typically do not react to the shell, but caution is still advised in sensitive populations. As a dry, fine particulate, it may create dust during manufacturing, so appropriate ventilation and protective equipment (such as masks and goggles) should be used to prevent inhalation and eye contact. Walnut shell powder should be stored in a cool, dry place in sealed containers to prevent contamination and maintain product integrity.
