So I am a beginner who made a goat milk soap and another rose soap. I used basic ingredients coconut, shea, olive, almond, sesame, castor and liquid(half water, half rose water). So everything is okay and both my soap are unmolded okay. However, after a few days only my rose soap get dreaded orange spots. I don't know why. I am using geranium and rose oil essential oils in that soap.
The weird thing is my goat milk soap is perfect. This Orange spots only happen on my rose soap. Anybody Please Help

I would suspect the Rose Essential Oil and/or the Geranium EO is/are the culprit(s) if it is only happening in soap containing that EO.

Are you sure it is DOS? Do the soaps also smell like rancid oil? Could it possibly be discoloration, which can occur with some fragrances.
