Dropper
For adding essential oils or water a drop at a time.
What to look for
A glass pipette or eye dropper lets you count drops properly. Don't rely on the dropper built into an essential oil bottle. It can release several drops at once, and with strong oils that can ruin a batch.
A dropper is also handy for rehydrating dry snuff. Put a bottle cap, open side up, into the middle of your tin, fill it with water drop by drop, close the lid and leave it overnight.
