The green walnut shell

For as long as anyone can remember, walnuts have been planted at local farms in Tirol. Belief and superstition were closely connected in this practice. Walnut branches were said to provide protection against lightning and to grant a good harvest.

But even putting aside myths, sagas, and legends, the walnut tree gained attention early on. It was considered a natural pharmacy against all kinds of ailments. This is how, in addition to the nuts and leaves, people recognized the effect of walnut shells, and began to make use of them.

The extract of the green walnut shell was first used as an oil to darken hair. When the preference in Europe switched from light complexions to sun-browned skin, a similar recipe was developed for naturally pretanning the skin.

Tiroler Nussöl as the first sun protection oil in Germany and Austria. Since the 1930s, the recipe for Tiroler Nussöl has been kept secret, while its development has continued the entire time.
