Glass Stirring Rod is a reusable bench tool used for mixing liquids, creams, and gels during formulation and small-batch making. It provides simple, controlled stirring without introducing fibres, odours, or colour into your blend, which makes it especially useful in cosmetic and aromatherapy work. This is a solid glass rod, not a whisk or spatula, so it is best suited to stirring, blending, and guiding liquids during transfer. The smooth rounded ends also make it easier to work neatly around beakers and container walls.
♡ Why we love it: A glass stirring rod is one of those quiet essentials that keeps bench work clean and precise. It is easy to sanitise, pleasant to use, and especially handy when you want straightforward mixing without fuss or added cleanup.

Faqs
Q: What is a glass stirring rod best used for?
A: It is best used for mixing liquids, creams, and gels, especially during small-batch formulation work.

A: Glass is non-reactive and does not tend to hold odours or colours, which helps keep blending cleaner and more
neutral.
Q: Can I use it for both oils and creams?

let it air dry.
