About

Hydrating walnut seed butter packed with nourishing fatty acids for smooth skin

Juglans regia (walnut) seed butter is obtained from a major food allergen. Walnut is classified as one of the 'big eight' food allergens under EU Regulation 1169/2011 and must be declared in cosmetic ingredient lists. It is not banned or restricted for cosmetic use beyond allergen labelling requirements. The butter is rich in linoleic acid, alpha-linolenic acid (omega-3), and vitamin E. It is used in cosmetics primarily for its emollient and antioxidant properties.

Skin benefits

  • High omega-3 (alpha-linolenic acid) content with anti-inflammatory properties
  • Vitamin E provides antioxidant protection
  • Emollient properties for dry and mature skin

Known concerns

  • Major food allergen — must be labelled in EU cosmetics
  • Can cause severe allergic reactions in sensitized individuals
  • Contains juglone, a potential skin irritant in raw form
