Expert Verdict
Shell is harder than seed — higher micro-laceration risk than seed powder. Particle size and edge geometry must be tightly controlled. Mohs hardness of shell fragments exceeds seed, meaning sharper edges post-milling. Recommend spheronization or fine-milling with edge rounding. Not recommended for facial products on sensitive skin
