Features

Description

Walnut Shells are hard, plant-based shells from Juglans regia , commonly used in natural body care, henna work, plant dye projects and craft applications. When finely milled, they can be used as a biodegradable exfoliant in rinse-off soaps and scrubs. Strong walnut shell decoctions can also be used externally in hair, skin and henna colour projects to add warm earthy brown tones.

This is a practical botanical material for cosmetic, craft and colouring work. Why we love it: Walnut shells offer a natural, plastic-free alternative to synthetic exfoliating beads. They are also useful in henna and dye projects where a warm brown botanical tone is wanted.
