I purchased this to assist in blending my cosmetic formulas in larger bulk. Planning to use the chopper to blend pigment powders, not sure it will be able to do that efficiently, but even if not, the blending stick itself will get plenty of use, I love that the blending mechanism is stainless steel and not plastic (I own one thats plastic and dont use it in things that may stain). Not a concern with the stainless steel attachment!
