Making Use of Exfoliants: Walnut Shells for Healthier Soaps

Consumers are increasingly making eco-friendly decisions when they shop. Not only are they concerned with the quality of the environment, but they are concerned with the sheer number of chemicals being used as ingredients in the products they utilize. To that end, it’s a wise idea for your business to begin using ground walnut shells for soap production.
Ground walnut shells are available in a variety of particulate sizes, which means they can be used for everything from facial scrubs to foot scrubs. This versatility makes it possible to incorporate them within a wide range of cosmetic products that will appeal to your clientele.

In fact, using ground walnut shells for soap comes with the following benefits that your customers are sure to appreciate:
1.They are non-toxic. Because they are a natural product that will biodegrade in the environment, consumers don’t have to worry about them polluting waterways or damaging sewer systems as they pass through them.
2.They are gentle, but effective. Because shells have a hardness of 4-5 on the MOHS scale, they are capable of removing dead skin without damaging the healthy skin beneath it. This means that your clients will enjoy healthier, more vibrant skin without worrying about over-exfoliating.
3.They are an eco-friendly dream. Because ground walnut shells are the natural byproduct of nut production, using them in soap production just makes sense. It keeps them out of landfills while giving your clients one more reason to select products manufactured with walnut shells.
4.They won’t affect other ingredients. Ground walnut shells are stable when mixed within the soap formula. In fact, they help stabilize the overall formula which prolongs the products shelf life and gives your clients a soap they don’t have to worry about spoiling during storage.
In the end, using ground walnut shells for soap production simply makes sense. It also makes dollars and cents for your business while you create products with a fabulous sense of scent.
