Walnut Shell Ground

About

Walnut Shell Ground is a 100% natural exfoliant derived from the hard outer shells of the Juglans regia plant. Finely milled into a soft, gritty powder, it gently polishes away dead skin cells and impurities to reveal smoother, brighter skin — without synthetic microbeads.
