Staff Answer We do carry Walnut Oil: https://www.wholesalesuppliesplus.com/products/walnut-oil.aspx. Adding the powder to a lotion base will leave speckling and a gritty feel to the lotion.   Posted By: WSP Staff   |   Date: December 02, 2019 (1) Found this helpful. Was this answer helpful?

"To use this powder in MP Soap, will I need to mix with Glycerin first?" Click Here To View 1 answer(s) Posted By: Nancy   |   February 05, 2019 Email Me When This Question Gets Answered

Staff Answer No, this does not need to be premixed with anything before adding to a MP soap base. You may want to mix with a small amount of melted soap first then add to your larger batch of melted soap.   Posted By: WSP Staff   |   Date: February 06, 2019 (2) Found this helpful.

This powder will more than likely stain skin if it isn't mixed with anything else. You can always wash it off though with soap and water.   Posted By: Samantha   |   Date: October 10, 2014 Was this answer helpful? Yes | No

"Can this walnut powder be used as an exfoliant in a face cream?" Click Here To View 1 answer(s) Posted By: Kara   |   December 09, 2013 Email Me When This Question Gets Answered

Staff Answer We have only tested this in soaps and bath fizzies, so I cannot say how it will work in cream. It is a fairly fine powder though, so I am not sure it would provide enough exfoliation for what you are looking for.   Posted By: WSP Staff   |   Date: December 11, 2013 Was this answer helpful?
