AWS Gemini-20 Milligram Scale

My Essential Tool for Precision Formulation

I absolutely love this little milligram scale. If you’re doing custom product formulation, R&D on a new creation, or crafting anything where ingredients are precious, you must be able to measure extremely small amounts accurately. When you’re just starting out with a new formula, weighing tiny test batches helps you avoid wasting expensive oils, botanicals, and actives — and this scale makes that process effortless.

It’s also indispensable when formulating lotions and creams, especially when you’re adding luxury cosmeceutical ingredients like collagen peptides, xanthan gum, hyaluronic acid, essential oils and more. Most of these ingredients weigh under one gram, so a kitchen scale won’t cut it. I keep this scale out every single time I develop or produce a product.

Why This Scale Is One of My Apothecary Must-Haves

• Extreme Precision (0.001g Accuracy)
  This scale measures in milligrams, making it perfect for ultra-low-weight ingredients in skincare, herbal formulations, and test batches.
• Multiple Weighing Units; Easily switch between grams, ounces, troy ounces, pennyweight, carats, and grains — helpful whether you're crafting cosmetics, measuring herbs, or weighing gems and powders.
• Compact, Durable, Travel-Friendly; It’s small enough to fit in your purse or lab drawer, and rugged enough to take anywhere. The flip-down shield protects the delicate weighing surface from dust or bumps.
• On-the-Go Weighing Tools Included; Comes with calibration weights, tweezers, and a tray so you can weigh powders, botanicals, gems, resin, actives, or literally anything tiny with accuracy.
• Multifunctional Lid/Tray; The protective lid doubles as a weighing tray — perfect for powdered herbs, mica, essential oil drips, or anything else you’re experimenting with.

This scale is one of the few tools I recommend to every student and formulation client. If you’re making lotions, serums, tinctures, balms, powders, teas, or developing new formulas — this little powerhouse will quickly become your best friend.
