What is Walnut Shell Powder?
Walnut Shell Powder — known in Hindi as Akhrot Chilka Powder and in Marathi as Akhrod Sakal Powder — is produced by the controlled grinding of dried walnut shells (Juglans regia). Walnuts have been cultivated across the temperate Himalayan foothills of India for centuries, and their shells have long been valued in Ayurvedic and traditional wellness practices as a gentle mechanical exfoliant and herbal ingredient. Unlike synthetic microbeads, walnut shell powder is fully biodegradable and eco-friendly, making it a responsible choice for conscious consumers worldwide.
