How can we all better
help the community when asking (or answering) a question?1) Please do not ask us to do your lab work
(or your research) for you. Do not request complete/finished formulations
unless you have already looked at the sources for that information and found
nothing helpful. If you show up out of nowhere and start asking for extensive
help, or otherwise demonstrate that you don’t want to do any work yourself, you
just aren’t going to get what you are looking for. It is obvious most times when people have
tried to do research and just need a hand or when they are looking for someone
to do all the work for them for free.2) Introduce yourself in the introduction
thread before requesting information/help. The newer you are in our
community, the more necessary it becomes to explain your situation and why you
need our help, especially if you are asking for information that most chemists
could find on Google with a quick search.3) Do not DEMAND help. Being that rude is
a good recipe for getting nothing at all, ever. No one in this community is
getting paid to do this, and we have NO obligation to help you – or even to
respond to you at all. Asking nicely and politely works much better. Also,
those people that just take information but never have time to help anyone else
are eventually going to find this community much less helpful. While many of us are happy to help each
other, and even first-timers, there has to be give and take. Not all take.4) Please don’t ask questions privately.
The whole point of this community is to share our questions and answers. If you
do need to ask a private question, due to privacy/trade secret concerns, don’t
be surprised if the person you’re asking requests a consultants fee for an
answer.5) Please don’t hijack other people’s
discussions, but if you don’t understand something about that question or its
answers, ask us about it. If you want to ask anything that’s different than
the original question, START A NEW DISCUSION.6) Do NOT ask for an amount of help of the
kind and/or quality that would ordinarily require you to pay a consultant for.
Don’t request complete or detailed manufacturing procedures, Standard Operating
Procedures, equipment info and/or sources, etc. This is all info you will have
to pay a consultant for. -
Please do all the above, as @Doreen has just stated
I believe that for ‘Soap’ you mean real soap made from vegetable or animal fats or oils saponified with Sodium or Potassium hydroxide, don’t you?
Please Google on how synthethic “soaps” can’t be legally called soaps anymore.
As for soaps separating
please read the study
The solubility of sodium and potassium soaps and the phase diagrams of aqueous potassium soapsThe only soaps that are even moderately soluble at room temperature are potassium laurate, myristate, and oleate, the potassium salt of acids from coconut oil, and the sodium oleate. The other sodium and potassium soaps of the saturated fatty acids require elevated temperatures for solution.

So it looks like you’re limited to saponifying Coconut oil just with Potassium hydroxide so it remains soluble.
You might saponify other oils (always with Potassium hydroxide), wait for the insoluble soaps to precipitate (although I don’t know if you’ll need a centrifuge for that) and draw the top water layer with soluble soaps.
I’ll surely add to costs so you’d want oils rich in Lauric, Myristic and Oleic acid, the ones soluble, as the study says.
