Answers to common questions about choosing and using Essentially Natural ingredients.

What is the difference between a shaker jar and a grinder jar?

Sometimes, yes, but it is best to keep uses separate. If you use a jar for food-related ingredients, avoid then reusing it for cosmetic or DIY formulation materials.

Are shaker and grinder jars suitable for fine powders?
