How about lotion? I've been thinking about giving it a try using a basic recipe. It uses a lot of the same ingredients as soap, so you'll probably have a lot of the ingredients already. Bonus, no waiting for lotion to cure like CP soap! LOL
Here's the recipe I'm thinking about trying: http://wellnessmama.com/3765/homemade-lotion-recipe/

It also works well in body butter or to use for oil pulling. A little rubbed into the ends of your hair makes it shiny and soft or you can use it straight on your skin.
And coconut oil has a LONG shelf life. So, unless you have huge amounts, you could save it. You could also use it to fry with.
You could make lotion bars.
It is great to cook with. Could also use it in lip balms

Even thought I live in Fl my skin gets so dry I use straight coconut oil on my legs and arms. It absorbs quickly and non greasy. So this might be another use for your leftovers and no time involved 
.
Also great for frying chicken in.
