COMMENTS: I've tried many exfoliant additives and I like this the best. Used in an oil based face scrub it works fantastic. I've tried pumice and apricot seed in cold process soaps and found the walnut shells to be superior.

"Uniform walnut powder"
COMMENTS: We use walnut shells in our cold process soap as a pumice-like scrubbing amendment. It also adds lovely specks of color. WSP walnut shell powder is very uniform and consistent. No larger pieces, no clumping and very fine. Performs perfectly.

"Great for some projects!"
COMMENTS: As an additive in CP, they're GREAT! They're the perfect size & "scrubbiness" for a wonderfully exfoliating soap without feeling harsh or abrasive. I HIGHLY recommend these for that purpose.
COMMENTS: I wanted to make an exfoliating face wash, so I went with the soy scrub at first, not only myself but a few others found it too harsh, then I tried again with the crushed walnuts and oh my gosh. It buffs perfectly, feel great on the skin, and you barely notice its there as you exfoliate your skin.

"Walnut Shell Powder"
COMMENTS: I used this product as a middle layer in my CP soap. It looks awesome! It turned a very dark brown after the soap set. Be careful though, if you do this, don't get the middle layer of walnut shell too thick. I did, and some of my bars are starting to fall in two pieces because the two soap layers didn't stick well through the thicker areas of walnut shell. I definitely would do this again and be careful about thickness for a middle layer.

"LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this walnut shell powder!"
COMMENTS: In my CP soaps, it adds a beautiful speckled color and is a nice exfoliant. I use it in M&P soaps too, with one end having Walnut Shell Powder & the other having Oatmeal Powder. It is not large chunks- ground to a fine grain, perfect for Bath & body use :)
COMMENTS: I use walnut shell powder in both my gardener's and work hands soap. The walnut shells provide a nice natural mild exfoliation that is surprisingly powerful! I only use the walnut shell powder in dark colors because the brown will show through otherwise. This is a wonderful product and I love that I can get such a large bag for a great price that lasts forever from WSP!
