Walnut has a long history of use as a cosmetic ingredient but most often it is the husks that we use to exfoliate our bodies. But Walnut is so much more than that as we see here
Walnut extract is made from the fresh green shells of English walnut, Juglans regia. The aqueous extract has been shown to be particularly effective as a self-tanning sunscreen agent. Its most important component is juglone (5-hydroxy-1,4-naphthoquinone), a naphthol closely related to lawsone (2-hydroxy-1,4- naphthoquinone). Juglone is known to react with the keratin proteins present in the skin to form sclerojuglonic compounds. These compounds have been found to have UV protective properties.
