Moderate

Derived from EU CosIng regulatory status, PubChem hazard data and published research. How we score.

Walnut seed material used as natural exfoliant and source of polyphenols; effectiveness is real but tree-nut allergenicity and abrasive particle morphology push it into a more cautious tier for sensitive skin.

Skin benefits

  • natural mechanical exfoliant when ground
  • contains polyphenols
  • vitamin E source
  • juglone antimicrobial activity

Known concerns

  • walnut allergen with potential systemic risk
  • ground shell particles can microabrade skin
  • juglone is a sensitizer
  • tree-nut cross-reactivity
