Prepare Workstation and Tools

What happens here

Before beginning the melting process, prepare the workstation by laying out all the small 5-milliliter screw-top containers on a sheet of aluminum foil. The foil will protect the countertop from any drips or spills during the pouring process. It is crucial to use disposable utensils, such as plastic spoons or stirrers, for handling and mixing the lip balm ingredients, as wax can be extremely difficult to clean off reusable kitchenware once it has set.

Goal: Set up the workspace by laying out containers and preparing disposable utensils for mixing and stirring the lip balm ingredients.
