At Doll Art Shop, everything we do comes from a true love of silicone dolls — and a promise to give collectors the very best for their precious babies. Every artist and collector knows just how special these lifelike creations are. They’re not toys; they’re treasures, often years in the making and worthy of gentle, specialist care. That’s exactly why we are developing our very own Doll Art Shop Care Range — a collection of beautifully thought-out products designed to help you keep your silicone baby looking and feeling perfect for years to come.  These will be available in our online store (and at Doll Shows we attend) very soon!

Why Silicone Dolls Need Special Care
Silicone is wonderfully soft and realistic, but it also needs a little extra love. It attracts dust, lint and tiny fibres, and unlike vinyl or resin, it can react with some household cleaners, powders, or even fabrics. Using the wrong products can leave the surface tacky, shiny, or damaged — so after years of testing and teaching, we wanted to take away the guesswork and give collectors products made just for silicone art.
 
Each product in our range has been developed and tested in our own studio, made with collectors in mind and completely silicone-safe.  You can buy them individually or together as our complete Doll Art Shop Care Kit — perfect as a starter set or a thoughtful gift for any collector.
 
Baby Scent
Lightly spray onto clothing only. Do not apply directly to silicone. A soft, long-lasting baby fragrance to enhance cuddle time. Avoid mouth and eyes. Keep away from heat and flames.
Matting Powder
Dust lightly over skin with a soft brush to reduce friction and keep baby velvety soft. Silicone-safe powders only. Never use talc or cornstarch. Avoid eyes and mouth.
Care Liquid (Mouth Care Lubricant)
Apply a tiny amount to dummy/bottle teat before use. Water-based and silicone-safe. Avoid silicone-based lubricants or petroleum products. Wipe away excess with water if needed.
Silicone-Safe Baby Bath & Shampoo
Use warm water only. Smooth on gently with fingertips — no rubbing. Rinse well. Dab or air-dry. Avoid soap in the mouth. Keep away from direct sunlight and heat.
Mohair Care (Everyday Styling Water)
Mist hair lightly with Everyday Styling Water. Style gently with a soft brush or tail comb. Air dry only — no heat tools. Handle carefully around rooted areas.
Mohair Conditioner & Detangler
Spray onto brush, not directly on scalp. Style gently. Use sparingly. Silicone-safe. No heat tools. Avoid alcohol, oils, and silicone-based hair products.
 
Tested by Artists, Loved by Collectors
Each formula and tool has been personally tested by me in the studio, using the same professional-grade silicones and pigments found in the world’s top doll workshops. I wanted collectors to have access to the same level of quality and reliability that artists depend on every day.
These are not generic baby products — they’re made by a silicone artist, for silicone collectors.

Our Promise
At Doll Art Shop, our Care Kit is more than a product — it’s a promise to help you care for your little one with the same love and attention that went into creating them. Whether you’re a first-time collector or a lifelong artist, we hope our new Care Range brings you peace of mind, confidence, and that same joy we feel every time we hold a finished baby in our hands.

AVAILABLE VERY SOON !!!   A fabulous kit for the silicone doll collector, as a gift to yourself or to someone you care about.

Because every silicone baby deserves gentle care — and every collector deserves the very best.​

Some artists like to use a one-part professional silicone such as SAM-32 or Sil-Poxy for doll painting. Unlike traditional two-part platinum systems (like Psycho Paint), Sil-Poxy already contains its catalyst — it cures simply when exposed to air and adheres extremely well to cured silicone surfaces.
Advantages:

• Exceptionally strong adhesion — ideal for touch-ups, repairs, or fine details that need to stay put, or for dolls that will be handled a lot or perhaps in a less careful manner (such as a doll that might be used by a dementia patient or a child).
• No mixing required — quick and easy for small applications.

Drawbacks:

• Once cured, you cannot paint over it with standard platinum paints (such as Psycho Paint), as they won’t bond properly
• May end up more expensive if you paint the whole doll.

If you do choose to use SAM-32 or Sil-Poxy, always apply it sparingly and dilute it well with solvent, plan your layers carefully — it’s a wonderful adhesive and detail tool, and well worth experimenting with.  Although most artists only consider using it for areas of the doll that are problematic, or for fixing, some artists do use this silicone type successfully for painting the whole doll.
