The Azlok Flower Pattern Shape + 4 Cavity Shape Soap Mold is a two-piece silicone combo made for shaping detailed, gift-ready soaps at home. Pour in your melt-and-pour or cold-process soap base, let it set, then flex the mould to release a clean floral, rectangle or oval bar — no cutting, no fuss.
What you get in the combo
This is a combo pack of two flexible silicone moulds, both made in India. Here is what each one does:
- Flower Pattern Shape mould — a decorative tray (about 18.4 x 18.4 cm) that gives rectangle and oval bars a raised floral design on top. Finished soaps weigh roughly 100–110 gm each, with bars around 8.3 x 5.2 x 1.8 cm.
- 4 Cavity Shape mould — a classic four-bar tray (about 16 x 3 x 17 cm) for making a small batch of even, uniform soaps in one pour.
Both are available in a 1 Pack or 2 Pack option. Colour is supplied as available in stock, so treat it as a functional tool rather than a colour-matched set.
Why silicone works well for soap
Silicone is the go-to material for home soap makers, and for good reason. It is naturally non-stick, so bars pop out without greasing the mould. It flexes, which means you can peel the sides back to release delicate floral detail without breaking the design. It handles the mild heat of melt-and-pour soap comfortably and wipes clean easily. Because it is reusable, one mould can make hundreds of bars over its life.
How to use the mould
- Prep your base. For beginners, a melt-and-pour glycerine or shea base is easiest. Cut it into cubes and melt gently in short bursts (microwave or double boiler) until just liquid.
- Add colour and fragrance. Stir in a soap-safe colourant and a few drops of fragrance or essential oil once the base has cooled slightly. Mix slowly to avoid bubbles.
- Pour. Place the mould on a flat tray or board first so it stays level, then pour into the flower pattern or the four cavities.
- Settle bubbles. A light spritz of rubbing alcohol on the surface helps pop surface bubbles for a smooth finish.
- Set and unmould. Let melt-and-pour soap firm up for a few hours (or refrigerate to speed it along). Cold-process soap needs 24–48 hours before unmoulding. Peel the silicone back gently and push from underneath.
The moulds also work for candles, wax melts, bath bombs and resin crafts, though soap is their main use.
Tips and safety notes
- Always place a filled mould on a rigid surface before moving it — soft silicone can spill if lifted while full.
- Let hot base cool a little before pouring to protect the detail and reduce warping.
- If you work with lye for cold-process soap, wear gloves and eye protection, work in a ventilated area, and keep it away from children and pets. Lye is caustic until the soap fully cures.
- Do a patch test on your skin with any new fragrance or essential oil before using a finished bar widely.
- These are craft moulds, not food-grade cookware — keep them for soap and craft use.
Cleaning and storage
Wash the mould with warm water and mild dish soap, then dry fully before storing. Avoid abrasive scrubbers, which can scratch the surface and dull the pattern. Store flat or loosely stacked in a cool, dry place, out of direct sunlight, so the silicone keeps its shape. With a little care, an Azlok mould will stay flexible batch after batch.
Who it suits
This combo is a good fit for first-time DIY soap makers, hobbyists making festival or wedding favours, and small home businesses testing gift lines. At an accessible price point, it lets you try both decorative floral bars and neat everyday bars without buying two separate sets.
FAQ
What kind of soap base can I use in these moulds?
Both melt-and-pour and cold-process soap work. Melt-and-pour is the simplest for beginners because it sets quickly and unmoulds within a few hours.
How long before I can remove the soap?
Melt-and-pour bars are usually ready in 2–4 hours, or faster if chilled. Cold-process soap should stay in the mould for 24–48 hours and then cure for several weeks before use.
How much soap does one bar hold?
The flower pattern bars finish at roughly 100–110 gm each, around 8.3 x 5.2 x 1.8 cm — a comfortable size for regular hand and body use.
Can I use the mould for candles or resin?
Yes. Silicone moulds also suit wax melts, candles, bath bombs and resin crafts. Just clean thoroughly between different materials.
Will I get the exact colour shown?
Colour is supplied based on stock availability, so you may receive an alternate shade. It does not affect how the mould performs.
