• Cleaning: Immediately rinse the spoon after use, especially when measuring viscous or heavily pigmented materials, to prevent residue buildup.

• Material Safety: Since this spoon is food-grade plastic, it is safe for all your cosmetic ingredients, including those sensitive to metal contact (like some clays and L-Ascorbic Acid).
