Từ đồng nghĩa: Walnut Shell Powder, Walnut Shell Granules, Walnut Shell Scrub, Juglans regia Shell Powder, Cosmetic Walnut Shell, Natural Exfoliant, Walnut Shell Abrasive

Walnut Shell Powder (Cosmetic Grade) is a natural exfoliating and abrasive ingredient produced from the ground shells of Juglans regia (China walnut). The shells are cleaned, crushed, and milled into fine powders or granules of various particle sizes, specifically processed to meet cosmetic-grade purity and microbial standards.

Walnut shell powder is widely used in cosmetic and personal care formulations as a natural exfoliant và abrasive agent. Its angular, hard particles provide effective mechanical exfoliation, making it a popular choice for facial scrubs, body scrubs, foot care products, and toothpaste. Unlike synthetic microbeads, walnut shell powder is biodegradable, sustainable, and environmentally friendly.

The cosmetic grade is specifically processed to minimize microbial contamination, remove foreign matter, and ensure consistent particle size distribution. It is available in multiple mesh sizes to suit different applications, from gentle facial exfoliation to deep body scrubbing

Các câu hỏi thường gặp

Q: What is the difference between cosmetic grade and industrial grade walnut shell powder?
A: Cosmetic grade is processed to meet strict microbial limits, heavy metal limits, and particle size consistency. Industrial grade may have broader specifications and is not intended for skin contact.

Q: Which mesh size should I choose for facial scrubs?
A: For facial scrubs, finer grades (100/120 or 120/200 mesh) are recommended for gentle exfoliation. For body scrubs, coarser grades (40/60 or 60/80 mesh) provide deeper exfoliation.

Q: Is walnut shell powder safe for sensitive skin?
A: Walnut shell powder is generally well-tolerated, but its angular particles may be too abrasive for very sensitive or compromised skin. For sensitive skin, finer grades or alternative spherical exfoliants (e.g., jojoba esters) may be preferred.

Q: Is walnut shell powder biodegradable?
A: Yes, walnut shell powder is 100% natural, biodegradable, and compostable, making it an environmentally friendly alternative to synthetic microbeads.

Q: Does walnut shell powder contain allergens?
A: Walnut shell powder is derived from walnut shells, which may contain trace amounts of walnut proteins. For products intended for nut-allergic consumers, caution is advised. Please inquire about allergen testing.
