Unrefined Walnut Essential Oil, 1 L
Walnut essential oil is obtained from the kernels of Juglans regia. This grade is unrefined, so it keeps its natural colour and soft nutty scent. The product card lists the INCI name Walnut Oil, Germany as the country of production and a 1 L container.
In cosmetic production it serves as an aromatic ingredient with a warm nutty note, well suited to products for dry skin and hair.
Key properties
The oil has a warm, mild, slightly sweet nutty aroma and a light texture that disperses easily in the oil phase. The earlier product page mentioned care for dry and mature skin, as well as softening and shine for dark hair, which are its traditional areas of use.
Applications
Hair care
Hair-end oils, pre-wash masks and balms.
Face and body care
Creams, lotions and oil blends for dry skin.
Anhydrous products
Balms, solid body oils and lip balms.
Usage guidance
Add the oil to the oil phase during cool-down and avoid long heating. Set the working level from the lot specification and safety data sheet, starting trials at 1 or 2 %. Unrefined material is sensitive to oxidation, so always include an antioxidant such as tocopherol at 0.2 to 0.5 %. Walnut is a tree nut, which matters for allergen labelling.
Compatibility
It works well with squalane, jojoba, shea butter and waxes, and in scent terms with vanilla, benzoin, orange and cedarwood. Prolonged heat dulls the aroma.
