How do I fix my soap that didn't harden?

There are a few reasons why soap might not harden. It could be due to too much liquid, not enough lye, or incorrect temperatures. Can you tell me more about your recipe?

I used a cold process method with olive oil and coconut oil, but I think I added too much water.

If you added too much water, it can prevent the soap from hardening properly. You might try remelting the soap and adding more lye to balance it out. Would you like to know how to do that?

Yes, please! How do I remelt and add lye?

To remelt, gently heat the soap until it becomes liquid again. Then, calculate the amount of lye needed based on the excess water. Mix the lye with a small amount of water, then slowly add it to the melted soap while stirring.

Thanks! Is there a way to prevent this from happening in the future?

Absolutely! Always measure your liquids and lye accurately, and consider using a lye calculator to ensure the right balance. Also, try to stick to tested recipes.
