Glass Beaker

The clear glass design makes it easy to see your ingredients while working, while the pouring spout helps transfer liquids more neatly into bottles, jars, moulds or mixing bowls. DIY Naturally currently offers this glass beaker in multiple size options, including 10ml, 25ml, 50ml, 100ml, 150ml, 250ml, 400ml and 600ml, making it suitable for everything from tiny fragrance test blends to larger skincare batches.

This beaker is a practical choice for home formulators, small-batch makers and DIY skincare enthusiasts. It can be used for mixing DIY cosmetics, perfumes and general formulations, and the existing DIY Naturally product page also notes that it is useful for filling diffusers and measuring ingredients for kitchen use.

For formulation inspiration, pair it with recipes and guides from the DIY Naturally blog, such as DIY Your Own Oil-to-Milk Facial Cleanser, Durosoft PG4-O Oil to Milk Emulsifier: Uses in Skincare & Personal Care, Mixing an Inspired by Perfume at Home and How to Make Natural Face Cream at Home.

Glass beakers are widely used in formulation and laboratory-style work because they are useful for holding, stirring, heating and pouring liquids, and many glass beakers include a small spout for easier pouring. Fisher Scientific notes that glass beakers generally offer high clarity for visibility, flat bottoms, uniform sidewalls and a small spout or beak for easier pouring.

Usage Information

Use your glass beaker to weigh, measure, mix and pour ingredients during small-batch formulation. It is especially helpful for blending oils, emulsifiers, fragrance ingredients, colourants, powders dispersed into liquids and heated phases for balms, creams and lotions.

For best results, place your beaker on a digital scale and weigh your ingredients directly into the beaker. Stir with a clean glass rod, mini whisk, stainless steel spoon or silicone spatula, depending on your formulation. Formula Botanica lists glass beakers as one of the essential tools for a basic cosmetic formulation kit and notes that they are useful for skincare and haircare formulation because they are reusable, easy to clean and heat-resistant.

If heating ingredients, use a gentle and controlled heating method such as a water bath or suitable hot plate. We advise against placing a glass beaker directly on a gas stove for cosmetic formulation, as direct uneven heating can create hot spots and may cause thermal shock or breakage.

Always clean and dry your beaker before use, especially when formulating products that will be applied to the skin. Sanitise tools and work surfaces appropriately when making cosmetics, particularly water-based products such as lotions, creams, gels and toners.
