Should i include a soft oil like olive oil?

I’m using the Palm Kernel Oil, but it turns out to be a solid end product instead of a liquid.

Thanks Belassi, i have used several soap calculators e.g thesoapcalculator.com,
But it keeps giving me a thick end product just like the NaOH.
I need a typical liquid form not in solid state.

below is my recepie.

PKO = 100
Water(deionized) = 36
KOH = 24
Lavender Oil = 1

thanks in anticipation.

Is it because i am using a hard oil, should i include soft oils?

Is it because i am using a hard oil only?, should i include soft oils?

Thanks Belassi, which broad spectrum preservative do you think should not denature at a high temperature since am filling at a hot.

Thanks.

Thanks 

Do you think i should include solubilizers in my fragrances or what kind of fragrance do you think will stop discoloration.
More-so, which broad spectrum of preservative would you be recommending for the water based pomade, and should i completely remove the olive oil, the %conc. of the olive is 0.6%.

Thanks.

How can i stop the formation of molds and discoloration on my water based edge tamer pomade, the products forms molds and gets discolored with time, i included a preservative(Methylisothiazolinone Benzisothiazolinone) 0.1% concentration. the basic ingredients in the formulation are.
Water
Ceteareth-25
Tegosoft cg
lipocol HCO40
Olive oil
fixative
fragrance
propylene glycol
preservative.

More so, could the olive oil be the cause of the mold formation and discoloration or is there anything omited in the formula?

Thanks in anticipation for your technical assistance.
