Hi. I'm new to this site. Not sure what I'm doing. I have moved to a more humid environment and my soap seems to be softer when I try to take them out of the mold. Could it be the humidity?

Recipes high in olive oil or other soft oils, will stay soft longer. I would give it a couple more days in the mold before removing the soap.

Mine do too. It just means I can't remove them from the mold quickly like others can. I've started adding sodium lactate and that helps, just be careful how much you add.
