Material

Silicone: Silicone is a material that distributes heat evenly, requires no greasing, and is non-stick, making it easy to remove from the mould. It is particularly insulating and resistant to extreme temperatures (from -40°C to +200°C). Silicone is unbreakable, non-deformable, and wear-resistant. In addition, it prevents the formation or deposit of residues, which facilitates cleaning.

Instructions for use

1. Method for melt & pour soaps, remelted soaps, solid shampoos, candles, and pebbles:

• Pour the mixture of your choice into the mould.

• Leave the mixture to harden on a flat surface for at least 2 hours at room temperature or 30 minutes in the refrigerator.

• Remove from the mould by gently turning the mould over onto a flat, clean, dry surface and applying light pressure to the back of the cavity to extract the soap, solid shampoo, candle, or pebble.

Tip

Melt and Pour

Melt and Pour soap base tends to shrink in the mould. It is therefore important to let your soap harden for a few minutes at room temperature and, if necessary, add more Melt and Pour base to your mould.

2. Method for cold process soap: 

• Pour the soap paste of your choice into the mould.

• Cover the mould with plastic wrap, then place a bath towel or blanket on top to keep it warm.

• Leave the covered soaps to harden for 24 to 48 hours at room temperature.

• Wearing protective gloves, remove them from the mould by gently turning the mould over onto a flat, clean, dry surface and applying light pressure to the back of the cavity to extract the soap.

• Leave the soaps to dry in a dry, well-ventilated place away from light for at least 4 weeks before use.

Tip

Cold saponification

• When filling the mould, tap it to compact the soap paste and prevent air bubbles from forming.

• Create beautiful inlays in cold process soap making by placing your ball-shaped soaps in a large mould and pouring your soap paste over them.

Caution

It is not recommended to clean the mould in the dishwasher after making cosmetics, as soap residue inside the cavities could cause excessive foaming and damage your dishwasher.

Cleaning

Before first use, it is recommended to wash the silicone mould with a sponge and mild detergent.

For cosmetic use:

• Immerse the mould in hot water and scrub the inside of the cavities with a sponge. When making soap, there is no need to add any detergent as the cavities will already have traces of it.

• Rinse the mould under warm running water.

For culinary use:

• Allow the mould to cool after removing it from the oven.

• The mould can be cleaned in the dishwasher or by hand by immersing it in hot water and scrubbing the inside of the cavities with a sponge and mild detergent.

• Rinse the mould with warm water.

Disinfection

• Spray the mould with 60° or 70° alcohol.

• Rub it with a soft, clean, dry cloth to remove any residue.

• Leave to dry in the open air.
