Comments
I agree with Bob. The total of the surfactant should be 80 to 100 percent. You probably need more powdered surfactants. Try 30% SCI and 30% Sodium Coco Sulfate Needles or powder, or SLSA with your liquid surfactant. If you melt down just your surfactants and they harden at room temp, then you will know that it is something in your other ingredients that is making them soft.
In your final formulation, you might also reduce the butters as that may be the reason for the softness at room temperature.
