If a smiling garou sells you some 'human salts', or 'dinner dust' then be wary. There is a good chance that the garou trader doesn't like you and is selling you one of Umbral Sands' common compounds: dihydrogen monoxide. The scientists among you will perk up your ears: dihydrogen monoxide is a compound that forms a base for so many toxic substances and diseases. It's not 'dinner dust', as the cheeky garou might have suggested. Put it in a vial, keep it away from the hands of grasping children, and use it with care.
