The Azlok 6 Cavity Rectangle Shape Soap Mold + Wooden Soap Mold combo lets you make both neat individual bars and a full soap loaf from the same setup. The silicone mold pops out six ready-to-use rectangular bars, while the wooden mold shapes a solid loaf you slice into as many bars as you like. Priced at ₹949 for the combo, it is a straightforward way to cover both small-batch and bulk soap making.
What you get in the combo
This is a two-mold set built for flexibility. The silicone mold is heat-resistant, flexible and reusable, so bars release cleanly without greasing. The wooden mold gives you that traditional loaf shape favoured by cold-process soap makers.
- 6 cavity silicone rectangle mold — for uniform, individual bars in one pour.
- Wooden loaf mold — approximately 27 x 7.5 x 7.5 cm, for a solid loaf you cut yourself.
- Small silicone rectangle mold — approximately 8 x 5.5 x 2.4 cm.
A note on colour: the silicone mold is supplied in whatever colour is in stock, since colour does not affect performance. Available as Pack of 1, Pack of 5 or Pack of 10 if you are scaling up production.
Uses beyond soap
Both molds handle more than soap. Because they are heat-resistant and reusable, makers often use them for:
- Cold-process and melt-and-pour soaps.
- Poured candles and wax melts.
- Bath bombs and shower steamers (silicone releases these easily).
- Resin crafts and DIY décor.
The wooden mold, being deeper, is best for loaf-style pours, while the silicone mold suits anything you want in matching bar shapes.
How to use the molds
Getting a clean result is mostly about preparation and patience.
- Prepare the wooden mold. Line it with baking parchment or a silicone sheet before pouring cold-process soap. Raw soap batter is caustic and will stain and damage bare wood, so lining is not optional.
- Silicone needs no lining. Pour directly. For melt-and-pour, let the base cool slightly before pouring to reduce bubbles.
- Pour steadily to avoid air pockets, then tap the mold gently on the counter to settle the mixture.
- Let it set. Melt-and-pour firms up in a few hours. Cold-process soap usually needs 24 to 48 hours in the mold before unmolding.
- Unmold and cut. Flex the silicone to release bars. For the loaf, lift out using the liner, then cut into bars with a sharp knife or soap cutter.
- Cure cold-process soap for four to six weeks in a dry, airy place before using.
Tips and safety notes
- When making cold-process soap you will handle lye (sodium hydroxide). Wear gloves and eye protection, work in a ventilated area, and always add lye to water, never the reverse.
- Keep soap-making tools and raw materials away from children and pets, and never use kitchen utensils interchangeably for food afterwards.
- Do not put the wooden mold in direct flame or oven; it is for shaping, not baking.
- Silicone tolerates warm pours well, but let very hot mixtures cool a little before filling to protect detail and finish.
Cleaning and storage
Wash the silicone mold with warm soapy water, dry fully, and store flat so it keeps its shape. Wipe the wooden mold with a damp cloth only and let it air-dry completely to prevent warping; never soak it. Always reline the wooden mold before each new soap batch. Stored properly, both molds last through many rounds of soap.
Who this combo suits
Beginners get a forgiving silicone mold to learn on, plus a loaf mold to grow into. Small businesses and regular hobbyists benefit from making bulk loaves and matching bars from one kit. If you are building out a soap-making setup, Azlok stocks the mold packs alongside the oils, fragrance oils and base supplies you will need to finish the job.
FAQ
Do I need to grease the silicone mold?
No. Silicone releases soap and wax naturally. Greasing is unnecessary and can leave a residue on the finished bar.
Why must I line the wooden mold?
Cold-process soap batter is caustic and moist, which stains and damages bare wood and makes unmolding difficult. Lining with parchment or a silicone sheet protects the mold and gives a clean bar.
Can I use these molds for candles?
Yes. Both molds are heat-resistant and reusable, so they work for poured candles and wax melts as well as soap and resin.
How long before I can use the soap?
Melt-and-pour soap is ready once set, usually within a day. Cold-process soap needs to cure for about four to six weeks so it hardens and becomes gentle on skin.
What colour silicone mold will I receive?
Colour is supplied based on current stock, as it has no effect on how the mold performs.
