Skin Safe Alginate
Produced for BabyRice UK, our alginate is a high grade colour change (chromatic) impression moulding powder. It is specially formulated to capture the finest of lines and tiniest details of the skin, making it perfect to use for casting hands, feet, face, body parts, paws and so on. You can even replicate a favourite object, such as an ornament or decorative plasterwork - perfect for preservation, restoration and replication!

BabyRice Alginate is totally safe for use on your newborn baby's skin as the alginate's main ingredient is seaweed!
(Dentists use this exact same alginate in their patient's mouths, it conforms to British safety standards BS 4269 Pt.2:1991 & ISO 1563:1990).

Stone Casting Plaster - Herculite II
We only use strong and durable, Herculite II Stone Casting Plaster. This is far stronger and much better than using a cheap plaster such as Plaster of Paris (aka Fine Casting Plaster) which is nowhere near as long lasting. Be wary of casting kits that use this cheap plaster, you don’t want your beloved keepsake to crumble away over time!

Instructions - are sent with each order (in English, German, French & Italian languages)
A guide to the working times of our Alginate:

Mixing Time: 1.30-2 mins from start of mixing
Setting Time: At 2 mins, the alginate will start to set - setting time approx. 30 seconds at 30ºC (warmer water makes setting quicker, colder water makes setting slower). 30 seconds is perfect for casting baby’s and pets, it’s not too long for them to keep still!
The skin should be lubricated with petroleum jelly to protect hair growth. If you are using this kit to cast areas where there is a lot of hair, example adults and pet paws, then petroleum jelly will stop the hair from sticking to the alginate mould whilst setting.

Best Before Date
Our alginate is freshly produced for us and will have a minimum shelf life of 12 months.
