Black walnut is a large tree native to North America and also cultivated throughout Europe. For centuries, black walnut has been a source of food and wellness support for indigenous populations. Black walnut hull is astringent and tannic and can be infused, tinctured, encapsulated, or used as a dye for fabrics.

Black walnut hulls contain a pigment called juglone, which is chemically similar to the pigment found in henna leaf. This chemical protects the tree from disease and competing plants, and lends its astringent, antimicrobial and anti-fungal qualities to various skin care preparations and cosmetics, such as natural hair dye and self-tanning tanning lotions. Black walnut hulls are also used to produce a natural brown dye for ink, wool and other textiles.
