I'm pretty sure they are made by a crowd called Silikomart - maybe google that and see if you can find a more local supplier than Australia (where i get them from).
I love cavity molds!

I think the ones with the swirl are supposed to look like cinnamon buns and I'm pretty sure I saw some on Amazon ~ let me check, brb . . .
I actually found one on etsy
https://www.etsy.com/listing/933413711/28-diameter-6-cavities-spiral-circle
There are a bunch of different ones on Amazon but I haven't found the exact one yet. I typed "round silicone cavity molds" into the search bar and all kinds of pretty patterns came up
I may have to get some myself!

Thank you, @Shelley D and @KiwiMoose. Found 'em! This pattern has a simple elegance I find very appealing -- and looking like a cinnamon bun sure doesn't hurt either (lol).
I’m so late to the party 
This is the Amazon link for the mold I have. The Silikomart molds are pricey, but they are also very high quality.

Thanks, @Mobjack Bay . It is a pricey one, but sure is pretty. Comes quickly too. The one on Etsy that @Shelley D found looks to be the same for about $5 cheaper but takes a long time to arrive. So hard to justify buying yet another mold, but I do like this one.
@JoyfulSudz I too loved that mold. I found this one. While it is probably not as sturdy as the one @Mobjack Bay has, it works well and is about half the price.
Oh good because I forgot about that one. I want to try this mold from MMS. I recently put in a big order with free shipping, but didn’t remember about the mold

Not sure where you posted palm oil plus castor oil accelerating - but I noticed my palm oil batter WITHOUT 5% castor oil behaves much nicer than when I added castor oil. Thanks for mentioning this!

Y'all! I saw some mini bundt cake shapes when I was searching earlier! And all kinds of cute swirls! I even saw a mold that had top and bottom cupcake shapes so you can make a soap cupcake without having to do the piping! 
I don’t remember where that post was, but thanks for following up! (P.s. check your post above. Did you mean castor where the third “palm” is?)
I have a big 'cinnamon bun' mold:
I always wanted the little ones - but they're quite expensive.

Yes, I meant castor oil
I just fixed it.

Was considering lotion bar (1/3 butter, 1/3 beeswax, 1/3 oil). Have some infused plantain leaf. Or perhaps guest sized soap with plant based scents such as mint or basil or something fun. Haven’t received yet. Will update when I make something. Please do same with your mold’s when you use them. Thank you
Here’s how I packaged the travel soaps. I decided to go with 2 oz. tins which are just roomy enough to hold 1 oz. of the little soaps. I also packaged 1 oz. assortments in reusable tea bags. I’m calling them “soap sachets” and making note that the bag can be reused. That’s about as close to zero waste as I can get. I will be including a “may contain” type label since the soaps come from different batches/recipes.
So pretty Mobjack! I've thought about using those little tins too - but was worried about the contact with the soap?
They may be coated with silicone(?) although I can’t recall any mention of a coating in the product description. The soaps in a few tins that sat partially filled for months looked perfectly fine when I sorted them into new groups this past week. I’ve run a few used tins through the dishwasher with no apparent changes in the finish and I’ve also cleaned glue residue off with acetone. I have not let soaps sit with water in the tin, but will report back if I try it.
