New and need help :)

I made a cold process soap using half goat milk and half almond milk for the lye solution, with oils including coconut butter, olive oil, coconut oil, and castor oil. I refrigerated the soap overnight, not realizing it wasn’t necessary. I took it out as soon as I figured it out. Will my batch still be okay?

110g of lye and 24 oz half goat milk and almond milk
For oils and fats i used:
40% Pure raw high quality coconut butter.
20% olive oil or a bit less
25% coconut oil
15% castor oil
Then added my essential oil fragrance.

I can't advise if your soap will be ok, but I did find it interesting that you used coconut butter. That is an unusual ingredient. I did some quick research and found it was discussed here a few years ago:

You can always cut and find out how its come out — in fact that might be your only option at this point. Fingers crossed you are pleasantly surprised. Good luck with your soap!

Thank you my friend, we shall see... and yes I wanted my bar to be smooth and creamy, fairly soft. But I'm not sure if the coconut butter will make it too soft or not. Not to mention if it will harden due to me putting it in the fridge. I'm gonna give it a week or two than rebatch if I have to.

I'm sorry that I don't have experience with many of your ingredients. I'll just pop in to say that castor oil over 10% can make for a soft soap. I do 5%, 6.5% max.

Thank you I will make sure to decrease that amount next time.
