Your English is fine! No worries. As for your formula, it's fine too. While you could use sodium lactate, it's not necessary.

Because my soap bar melts quickly

As an alternative to SL:
It could be because you have not cured your soap long enough. (8 weeks minimum).

It could also be because you have such a high percentage of coconut oil. Some people find it dissolves quickly. Try increasing the palm oil and reducing the coconut oil

Thanks a lot...penelope and zany

I would increase the palm and reduce the co and olive. I use CO at 25% and like it

The recipe is fine, so I agree with PJ -- you need the soap to cure longer... 4 weeks should be enough. Also, if the soap isn't in a "soap saver" dish where it can dry out between uses instead of puddling, then that can cause it to melt quickly. Also, what size/weight are your bars?

Can I say I do not mind when my bar melts quickly because it gives me an excuse to make some more? :mrgreen:
