How to Use Silicone Matting Powder: Keep Your Baby Soft and Shine-Free

Full silicone reborn dolls are known for their lifelike feel and amazing realism — but over time, their skin can become shiny, tacky, or slightly sticky. That’s where silicone-safe matting powder comes in. In this guide, we’ll explain what it is, how to use it safely, and why it’s a must-have for anyone who owns a silicone reborn baby.

What Is Silicone Matting Powder?

Silicone matting powder is a fine, silky powder used to remove shine and restore the soft, matte look and feel of full silicone dolls. It’s safe for platinum-cured silicone and helps prevent dust, fluff, or hairs from sticking to the surface.

Why Do Silicone Dolls Get Sticky?

It’s completely normal for silicone dolls to develop a sticky feel over time. This can happen due to:

• Warm temperatures or humidity

• Washing the doll or wiping it down

• Natural breakdown of silicone oils on the surface

That tackiness attracts fluff and makes the doll look shiny — but don’t worry, it’s easily fixed!

Benefits of Using Our Silicone Matting Powder

• Reduces shine

• Keeps your doll soft to the touch

• Prevents lint and hair from sticking

• Gives a realistic, velvety skin feel

• Helps preserve your doll’s paintwork (no rubbing or friction needed)

How to Use It – Step-by-Step

What you'll need:

• Ivy Reborns silicone-safe powder (30g)

• A soft makeup brush or powder puff

• A clean, dry surface to work on

1. Clean the Doll Gently
Use a clean, damp cloth to wipe your doll if needed. Make sure they’re completely dry before powdering.

2. Dip Your Brush
Use your soft brush to pick up a small amount of powder. You don’t need much — a little goes a long way.

3. Apply Lightly
Dust the powder gently across the sticky or shiny areas using soft, circular motions. Avoid rubbing or pressing too hard.

4. Blend and Smooth
Blend in any excess powder until your baby’s skin looks soft and matte. Repeat where needed.

5. Avoid Eyes and Mouth
Be careful not to get excess powder into the eyes, mouth, or nose holes, especially if your doll has open features.

Safety & Care Tips

• Only use the powder made for silicone. Never use baby powder or talc.

• Store your powder in a cool, dry place.

• Apply in a well-ventilated area to avoid breathing in any dust.

• Always supervise young children during use.

Each Ivy Reborns powder set contains around 30g, which is enough for several full-body powderings or months of touch-ups.
