Silicone Molds for Homemade Soap

There's a spinning, twirling happy-dance in my head today -all due to these wonderful new Crafter's Choice silicone soap molds!  My homemade soap bars have never looked better (in my humble opinion.)

Just take a look at the lovely, crisp lines of the soap loaf and of each soap bar:


 I love the ease with which the homemade soap released after less than 24 hours!  The silicone mold requires no lining and no releasing agent of any kind.  I just poured the soap into the molds at a light/med trace, swirled the tops and that was it.  18 hours later: out it came!

Clean-up will consist of a soak in warm water, a quick rinse-off followed by air drying.  Perhaps lining the molds for your handmade soap is no big deal in your day, but it was a constant source of stress for me.  (Perhaps it's my impatient tendancies?)  I am so happy to not have to do it anymore that I will definitely be investing in more of these!

This natural homemade soap is scented with pure essential oils & spices -no colorant whatsoever.  (I believe most of the color came from the 5x orange EO.)  With a blend of citrus & spice oils, it smells of fresh ruby red grapefruit  Richly superfatted with shea butter, mango butter & cocoa butter, it should prove to be a very moisturizing soap bar!

Happy Soap Making Everyone!  ~Becky
