can any other nut shell powder and nut oil be used in this to get the same scrubbing action? I’m allergic to walnuts just wondered
The Natural Beauty Workshop says
Hi Tracey. You can defitinitely substitute the ingredients that you are allergic to. They will behave and look a little differently, but the recipe should still be great. Try using Coconut Shell Powder in place of the Walnut Shell Powder. As for the Walnut Oil, any light textured Carrier Oil will do, but a few alternative nut oils to check out are Almond Oil, Hazelnut Oil, Brazil Nut Oil, Pecan Oil, Macadamia Nut Oil or Kukui Nut Oil. If you want to avoid all nut oils, try using Fractionated Coconut Oil, Avocado Oil, or Peach Kernel Oil.

Is a preservative needed in this formula?
The Natural Beauty Workshop says
Hi Tammy. This formula is pretty stable as-is, but it’s common practice to add preservatives to scrubs in anticipation of “improper handling” by the user. Basically, that means that the scrub is just fine in the jar but if someone were to get water into it during use it could “go bad”. This is especially important to consider if you plan on selling your scrubs. We have some great articles to help you get started with using preservatives.
