Question : Do you have a catalog?

Answer : We have a very talented group of in house artists that are constantly creating new items and ideas.

Every week we have new items that go into production. Some of them make it our website. Some of them don't.

It doesn't make sense for us to have a paper catalog. Due to the fact, that by the time it arrived in your hands, we would have more new items that were not listed in the catalog.

The best and most current catalog is our website

Question : How do you achieve multiple colors on your soaps?

Answer : There are a few ways to achieve multiple colors using our molds. Most of them can be poured in layers or multiple pours. Some people will use a eye dropper for small areas and fill each small area with the individual colors.

The other ways involve paint. Most local craft stores carry paint for candles in the candle making section.
To achieve diferent colors using paint you can paint the surface of the mold or just paint the piece when it is finished.. The beauty of silicone is that nothing will stick to it except itself. So the paint will stick to the wax not the silicone.

Question : Can your molds be used for cold process soaps?

Answer : Yes! If you use lye in your cold process soap making, the lye can shorten the life of the molds. The best way to avoid this is to wash the molds frequently with warm water and soap.
