Is soap expected to moisturize your skin to where you don't need lotion? (In all climates, freezing - hot)
 
No, I honestly don't think soap is meant to moisturize your skin to a point that you don't need to use lotion, butter, balm, etc.
 
Both coconut and palm are high in lauric and myristic acids, which strips the skin from natural oils so while soaps can keep you clean, they can also make you dry.
