The Best Soap Molds to Use for Every Level of Soapmaking

If you’re just starting out making soap you will probably start to notice that a lot of different things can be used as a soap mold. You will find that reusing old food containers is a good way to start because this particular soap mold isn’t expensive to get a hold of. You will want to make sure that the area inside the container is fully cleaned and you may even need to line it with something, like plastic.

• Wood molds are very affordable and cheap to make and the wood must be lined with freezer paper so the soap doesn’t stick.
• Silicone molds are the most common because they allow you to have a very clean corner, however they are heat resistant.
