The Azlok 6 Cavity Round Flower Shaped Soap Mould is a flexible silicone tray that lets you cast six round, flower-patterned soaps at once, each weighing roughly 105–110 grams. It is heat-resistant up to 230°C, so you can use it for melt-and-pour soap, candles, bath bombs and even baked treats, and the non-stick surface makes unmoulding easy. At ₹249 for a single mould, it is an affordable starting point for both beginners and small home businesses.
What you can make with it
Silicone moulds are versatile, and this one is no exception. The flower detail gives a neat, gift-ready finish without any extra effort.
- Melt-and-pour soaps: the most common use. Pour melted glycerin or goat-milk soap base straight into the cavities.
- Cold-process soaps: works well, though these need a longer cure time before removal.
- Candles: pour soy or beeswax and add a wick once slightly set.
- Bath bombs and sugar scrub bars: the round shape holds firm shapes nicely.
- Baking and chocolates: since it is food-grade silicone, you can also use it for jellies, mousses or chocolate flowers.
How to use the mould
The process is straightforward, but a little care gives cleaner results.
- Place the mould on a flat, rigid tray or board so it stays level when you move it.
- Melt your soap base gently in a microwave or double boiler, stirring until smooth.
- Mix in your fragrance oil, colour and any additives once the base has cooled slightly.
- Pour into each cavity, leaving a little space at the top. Spritz with rubbing alcohol to pop surface bubbles.
- Let the soaps set fully — usually 1–2 hours for melt-and-pour at room temperature, or place in the fridge to speed it up.
- Once firm, gently flex the silicone and push from the base to release each soap.
Care, cleaning and safety
Silicone is low-maintenance, but a few habits will keep the mould in good shape for years.
- Wash with mild soap and warm water. It is dishwasher-safe, but hand-washing keeps the surface smoother for longer.
- Dry completely before storing to avoid trapped moisture.
- Do not cut inside the cavities with knives — this damages the non-stick surface.
- Although rated to 230°C, avoid direct flame or a hob burner.
- When working with hot soap base or lye (for cold-process), wear gloves and eye protection and work in a ventilated space. Keep raw materials away from children and pets.
- If you use the mould for both craft and food, it is safer to keep separate moulds for each purpose.
Buying and storage tips
Azlok offers this mould in single, 2, 5 and 10-piece packs. If you are just starting out, one mould is enough to learn the basics; the larger packs suit anyone selling at markets or making bulk batches. Do note the colour is supplied as per current stock — the shape and function stay the same even if the shade differs. Store the mould flat or hung up rather than stacked under heavy items, so the cavities keep their form. Kept clean and dry, a good silicone mould lasts through hundreds of pours.
FAQ
How much soap does each cavity hold?
Each cavity makes a round flower soap of roughly 105–110 grams, so a full batch gives you six bars of similar size.
Is this mould safe for the oven and microwave?
Yes. It is made from heat-resistant silicone rated up to 230°C and is safe for microwaves, ovens and dishwashers. Avoid direct flame or placing it on a stovetop burner.
Can beginners use it easily?
Absolutely. The flexible, non-stick surface releases soaps without needing any grease or spray, which makes it forgiving for first-time makers.
Can I use it for candles and bath bombs too?
Yes. The same mould works well for soy or beeswax candles, bath bombs and scrub bars. For candles, insert the wick once the wax has begun to set.
Will I get the magenta colour shown?
The mould is usually magenta, but Azlok delivers as per available stock. The colour may vary, though the shape, size and quality remain the same.
