Easy Peasy Spray

"I put this in an aluminum bottle with a fine mist sprayer to lightly coat my silicone & other molds before pouring the soap in (for easy release). I was pleased that it sprayed so easily. Better than store-bought!"

"Love it!"

— Sondarya (5/5)

Great for plastic molds

"I use mineral oil to grease plastic molds that I want to use a cold process recipe in. Cold process is usually hard to remove from the intricate plastics like Milky Way molds, but a little mineral oil, and they usually pop out much easier."

Great quality mineral oil

"This mineral oil feels so silky smooth and is the highest quality. It makes all of my lotions and butters feel so rich and moisturizing. Just a touch in the melt and pour soap bases add a wonderful shine and help the soap release from the soap mold. It is a perfect carrier oil for various massage oil blends. I love this product and will be buying it again."

— Allison (5/5)
