Glass Stirring Rod - 5MM X 200MM

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.

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.
