Stearic acid will do that. The SAP of cocoa butter is different, so you can't sub stearic and beeswax for it.

Did you run it through a lye calc with the substitutions? If you did and you're sure it's not lye heavy, then I would rebatch. Stearic tends to accelerate trace and if you use too much, it will turn your soap into a soap on a stick.
