The primary fatty acid of coconut oil is laureate, a 12 carbon chain. After Saponification there is a relatively high ratio of glycerin to oil and the fatty acid salts are more soluble than would be with longer chain fats. Beef fat which is also used to make soap is primarily stearic acid (18 carbons). Melting points are 44 vs 69 C.

Why is oil soluble in soap and water mixtures?
It's really not. A mixture of oil, soap and water is an emulsion wherein oil droplets are surrounded by soap, thus encapsulating their non-polar surface with polar elements that float, near neutral buoyancy, in (polar) water. Allowed to sit undisturbed, the mixture will eventually separate --- something that doesn't happen with solutions.
