Our take
Is Juglans Nigra (Black Walnut) Extract a Good Ingredient?
Rated Fair because research on durable skin improvement is modest, and its main contributions are tone adjustment and a temporary matte feel rather than anything corrective. Constituents like tannins and juglone may also provoke irritation in susceptible skin, which is enough to keep it out of Good.

Included in toners, clarifying serums, and color-adjusting treatments such as tinted gels or creams.
Before you use it
