Great product

"I love this product. What I had read on the web stated that it would look brown in CP soap, but I feel that it has a deep purple hue. It also provides a light exfoliation."

— Katherine (4/5)

A little goes a long way

"I bought this for colorant in cold process and cpop. I used a little less than a tsp for 4lbs of oils. With cp it's a muted chocolate with dark specs and with cpop it's a beautiful deep brown color. I love that is adds exfoliating qualities to the finished soap."

Q&A

Can this be use in body butters?: Yes, this can be used in body butters but it may be abrasive on sensitive skin.
Do you sell Black Walnut in liquid form? If not, does this powder fully blend well with your Shea Butter lotion?: We do carry Walnut Oil: https://www.wholesalesuppliesplus.com/products/walnut-oil.aspx. Adding the powder to a lotion base will leave speckling and a gritty feel to the lotion.
To use this powder in MP Soap, will I need to mix with Glycerin first?: No, this does not need to be premixed with anything before adding to a MP soap base. You may want to mix with a small amount of melted soap first then add to your larger batch of melted soap.
I have black walnuts and if you pick them up with bare hands they will stain your skin brown. Since this is made from them, is there a risk of staining the skin? Thank You.: This powder will more than likely stain skin if it isn't mixed with anything else. You can always wash it off though with soap and water.
I'd like to make an olive oil infusion with black walnut hull powder and then add it to cold process soap as a colorant. If I heat the olive oil with the powder to make the infusion, how much powder should I use per cup of olive oil?: If you are using it for natural coloring you can start with a teaspoon per pound, double/triple for darker shades. Go sparingly as a little can go a long way.
