The primary fatty acid of coconut oil is laureate, a 12 carbon chain. After Saponification there is a relatively high ratio of glycerin to oil and the fatty acid salts are more soluble than would be with longer chain fats. Beef fat which is also used to make soap is primarily stearic acid (18 carbons). Melting points are 44 vs 69 C.

Is salt soluble in coconut oil?
Salt is not soluble in coconut oil because salt is hydrophilic (water-loving) and coconut oil is hydrophobic (water-repelling). This makes them immiscible in each other. Salt dissolves in water, not in oil.

Is coconut oil soluble in benzene?
Coconut oil is primarily composed of triglycerides and is not soluble in benzene. While both substances are organic, coconut oil is non-polar and hydrophobic, whereas benzene is a non-polar solvent. However, since both are non-polar, coconut oil has limited solubility in benzene, but it is not considered soluble in the same way that polar substances would be in polar solvents.
What happens if olive and coconut oil is added into a soap formulation?
