There are some tools that I did not think to consider to the last list. I found additional tools from a book titled, The Herbal Home Spa by Greta Breedlove that you may want to add.
Cutting Board:A variety of sizes to work with different jobs. From slicing glycerin soap to slicing herbs. Greta Breedlove suggests wood because they can be replaced if they wear out. If you are using your boards to cut both melt and herbs then it is best to use the plastic ones since they are easier to sanitize and maintain than wood. But, my recommendation is to purchase separate cutting boards for your bath product making. I prefer the plastic since they are easier to clean.
Gloves: Dishwashing gloves are ok, but the closer-fitting latex (surgical type) are best because they allow for fine movements and better dexterity.
Mortar and Pestle: Great for crushing herbs, seeds, flowers, and bark. Also good for fresh fruits vegetables. Greta Breedlove suggests the marble variety, but there are some good wood versions out there.
Spatula: You cannot have too many. Great for scooping ingredients/products and filling containers.
Tongs: The long BBQ type are best used for body wraps. The shorter variety will also help with keeping your hands from hot water.
