I made a facial soap with almond oil, fractionated coconut oil and shea butter. I added Sodium Lactate to the lye water, at .5 ppo. I put it in a mold. I did not gel them and put them in a cool place. After 24 hours they are still soft. How long can I keep them in the mold? I did use mineral oil in the molds. Also if I freeze them, do I defrost before I try to unmold them. This is the first time I have used so many soft oils.

Almond oil & fractionated coconut oil are both very soft oils. You need some olive, lard, tallow, coconut or palm kernel in there.

When I freeze my soap it unmolds quickly. Falls out in the block

Thanks all. I froze it for 2 days and it came out fine. It seems to be hardening quite well while it cures.
