Does nobody worry about the foil lining inside the tube affecting the soap? I know a lot of people use Pringles tubes as a soap mould, so I’m guessing it must not be aluminium?

It's covered in a fairly tough, thin plastic film.
I only use pringles tubes for friends to take away soap they've made while visiting, as my recipe takes a couple of days to harden up enough to unmould cleanly and slice.
If it later develops a tiny area of DOS due to a small invisible perforation in the plastic, it's really not a big deal since it's just for fun, though it's not an issue I've encountered yet.
I don't reuse the tubes, which probably helps. The easiest way to get the soap out is to cut down through the first part of the tube, then tear it away from the soap in a spiral pattern.
I knew there was a plastic lining between the inner and the aluminum colored part, but I also lined mine with freezer paper because I wasn't sure if the plastic would melt. I used to use Pringles cans and anything else I could find in the pantry that would produce a log of soap before I got my first log mold.
I also lined mine with freezer paper…..
I line mine with freezer paper too for easier soap removal.
I use parchment paper.
