Walnut Shells (Juglans regia) Dried are hard, plant-based shells commonly used in natural body care, henna work and craft projects. When milled, they provide a fine, biodegradable exfoliant for soaps and scrubs. A strong brew can deepen the brown tone of henna mixes or be used for external rinses on hair and skin. Whole or coarsely cut shells also feature in dye and colouring projects for a warm, earthy hue. This is a versatile bulk staple for cosmetic, herbal and craft use.
♡ Why we love it: A plastic-free alternative to synthetic microbeads in exfoliating products, and a simple way to add natural brown colour to henna and craft mixes. Easy to store in bulk and grind as needed for different projects.
Size: 75g.

How to use
- Scrubs and soaps: grind shells to a fine or extra-fine powder; use ±1-5% in body scrubs and ±0.5-2% in soap (adjust to preference)
- Henna and colour: add a spoon or two of very finely ground shell powder to your henna mix, or use a cooled, strained decoction as the liquid phase
- External rinse: simmer 5 g shells in 200 ml water for 15-20 minutes, stir, cool and strain well; use the liquid externally on intact skin or hair
- Internal use: some traditional references suggest a light decoction (about 1.5 g in a cup of water) once or twice daily; only use internally under guidance from a qualified practitioner
- Always strain liquids very well to remove particles before use
Storage
Store sealed in a cool, dry place away from sunlight. Reseal after each use to keep shells clean and dry.
