Mixing Tools for Beakers

For stirring mixtures in a beaker during cosmetic formulation, several tools can be used:

• Glass rods: These are a common choice as they are inert and easy to clean.
• Spatulas: Spatulas, often made of stainless steel or plastic, are also suitable, especially for thicker substances or scraping.

Regarding stainless steel, it can be used for stirring tools like spatulas and is quite durable. However, depending on the specific ingredients in your formulation, some formulators might prefer glass or certain types of plastic to avoid any potential reactions.

Tools like glass rods and spatulas are standard laboratory supplies. While they were not found in the product search results, they are generally available from scientific or educational supply stores.
