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.
Q: Why choose glass instead of a wooden or plastic stirrer?
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?
A: Yes. It works well for oils, creams, and gels, provided the mixture is not too thick for simple rod stirring.
Q: How do I clean it properly?
A: Wash with warm water and mild detergent, then rinse and dry. For a deeper clean, wipe with isopropyl alcohol and
let it air dry.

This is ultimately my favourite purchase I have ever bought from Essentially Natural. It is so convenient to use when formulating. It cleans so easily and stirs everything so well! I highly, highly recommend this product for anyone who wants to make their life easier as a formulator.
I love my stirring rods. They fit perfectly in the 1 L beaker. Really prevents product lost, while stirring.
Easy to clean, convenient for mixing oils
