Our new acrylic soap stamps are amazing in cold process soap. Because of the acute details they require some special attention. In our testing, we found that they worked best on one of our basic cold process recipes after 4-5 days of curing time. The soap can’t be too soft or too hard so you’ll have to experiment with your recipe to find the perfect consistency. Once you find a happy medium, the extra work will be totally worth it and “Life is Good”!
Do you like our colorful soap? Kristy from Kristy’s Lovely Lathers made it on Soap Queen TV (see the blog post here). Video coming soon!

Using the Stamps: Apply slow pressure to the stamp with a slight rocking motion. Avoid the impression of the stamp base by not pressing the stamp all the way into the soap. Release the stamp from the soap by slowly and carefully wiggling the stamp out. Clean up the edges if necessary. However if the soap has the perfect “happy medium consistency” there should be no clean up. Try one of these basic cold process recipes.
Tip: Before Stamping, lightly spritz the stamp with rubbing alcohol. They’ll release a little bit easier.
Below is one of our “fails” (and why we test all of our products for our customers). This is what the soap stamp looks like if the soap is too hard. The cute owl has seen better days!
I am on a bit of a deadline, and have run into a problem getting my stamp delivered to me in the time I’d expected. It may be the case that some of my soaps will be a week into their curing by the time I start stamping them.
If I find the soap is too hard at this time, are there any tips for how i may still successfully stamp these bars?
could I heat the stamp prior to stamping?
or,
heat the soap to soften it up a bit?
Good afternoon!
Great question. It really depends on the recipe that you are working with, but we typically like to stamp our soaps about a week after we have made them. If your soap is too soft or too hard, it might not work. To test it, use the end of the soap and try stamping it there. I would not suggest heating the stamp, as it might warp if you try that. What is the recipe you are using for this batch?

Very cute stamps! Can I use them on MP soap?
I love the new soap stamps! So adorable!
I love the 100% Natural with the flower. I’m a sucker for flowers. Next order I will have to grab it since my order just shipped. I wish I would have seen this sooner.
I have a feeling that’s going to be one of the popular stamps!

I love this, just love it! Yes, I like the soap, but the best part is the detail in these stamps. Very sa-weet!
The bee… is adorable!! Might have to get that one!!
The stamps are so whimsical! I can not bear to choose a favorite! I see another order in my very near future!
They are so different from the stamps that we currently carry. We’re excited about them!
