The Azlok 6 Cavity Rectangle Soap Mold is a flexible silicone tray that lets you make six neatly shaped rectangular soaps at once, each roughly 8 x 5.5 x 2.4 cm and weighing 80–90 grams. It's heat-resistant up to 230°C, non-stick and easy to clean, which makes it a reliable choice for both first-time hobbyists and small-batch sellers.
What you can make with it
While it's called a soap mold, the shape and material suit a lot more than one project. The rectangle is a classic, tidy shape that stacks well and feels comfortable in the hand, so it works nicely for gifting and retail.
- Handmade soaps — melt-and-pour bases, cold-process and hot-process recipes all release cleanly.
- Candles — pour soy or beeswax to make rectangular block candles or wax melts.
- Body scrubs and bath bars — sugar or salt scrub bars set firmly in the cavities.
- Resin, chocolate and baked treats — the food-grade silicone handles ovens and freezers, so mini loaves and set desserts are fair game too.
How to use the mold
The process is straightforward, and the flexible walls do most of the work when it's time to unmould.
- Place the mold on a flat tray or baking sheet before you pour. This keeps it steady and makes it easy to move.
- Prepare your soap base. For melt-and-pour, heat gently in short bursts and stir in colour and fragrance once slightly cooled.
- Pour evenly into all six cavities, filling to your preferred height. A light spritz of isopropyl alcohol on top removes surface bubbles.
- Let the soap set fully. Melt-and-pour usually firms up in a few hours; cold-process bars need to stay in the mold for 24–48 hours.
- To release, gently peel the silicone away from the edges, then push from the base. The non-stick surface means you rarely need to grease it.
Tips and safety notes
A few habits will keep your bars looking professional and your mold lasting longer.
- Let soap cure before unmoulding. Rushing a soft bar can dent the corners.
- Work with ventilation when handling fragrance oils, lye or strong colours. Cold-process soap uses caustic lye, so wear gloves and eye protection and follow your recipe carefully.
- Keep raw materials away from children and pets, and clearly label anything that isn't food.
- Don't overheat. The silicone tolerates up to 230°C, but molten wax and soap should be handled at safe working temperatures to avoid burns.
- Do not ingest soap, fragrance or industrial ingredients, and always patch-test a new soap on your skin before regular use.
Buying and storage
The mold is available in 1 Pack, 2 Pack and 5 Pack options, priced from ₹199, so you can scale up as your batches grow. It's made in India from premium heat-resistant silicone. The mold usually ships in a vibrant magenta colour; if that shade is out of stock, another colour may be sent, which has no effect on performance.
To clean, wash with warm water and mild dish soap, or run it through the dishwasher. Let it dry completely before storing flat or loosely rolled, away from direct heat and sharp objects that could nick the surface. Stored well, a good silicone mold like this one from Azlok will handle hundreds of pours. Avoid folding it under heavy items, as permanent creases can distort your soap shape.
FAQ
How many soaps does the mold make at once?
Six rectangular bars per pour, each approximately 8 x 5.5 x 2.4 cm and weighing 80–90 grams.
Do I need to grease the mold before pouring?
Usually not. The silicone is non-stick, so soaps and candles release cleanly once fully set. For very sticky recipes, a light spritz of oil can help.
Is it safe for cold-process soap making?
Yes. The silicone withstands the temperatures involved and releases cured bars easily. Just follow proper lye safety—gloves, eye protection and good ventilation.
Can I use it in the oven, microwave and freezer?
Yes. It's heat-resistant up to 230°C and also freezer-safe, so it suits candles, resin, chocolates and set desserts along with soap.
What if the magenta colour is unavailable?
Azlok may deliver the mold in another available colour. The colour does not change how the mold works or the quality of your finished bars.
