my soap is very soft

[Tamijean]

I made a batch of soap a month ago. it was my first one using sunflower and canola oil, but also my first one in high humidity and my first one with lye that had a 95% purity label. (I would love to get the 100% that I used to get in the states, but I can't ship it in out of country, or even put it in a checked bag when I fly)

any ideas on where I should look to figure out why it has the consistancy of playdough?

my oils were
coconut 50%
canola 25%
sunflower 20%
avocado 5%

thanks

If you can provide the gram/oz weight of each oil and the lye and water amounts you used, we may be able to help more!

The whole recipe would be helpful. Too much water or not enough lye could be the reason.

Another helpful bit to include as well as water/lye concentration would be the superfat. With only 95% purity, your SF is probably higher than you thought it should be.
