I don't "think" my soap has a case of DOS, because I didn't overly superfat (5%), and I used a freshly opened bottle of olive oil and frozen coconut oil. When I poured it, it was a lovely lime green, but now, after curing for a few weeks, the bars have started to yellow around the edges. I had expected it to lighten up a bit, but not yellow.

Should I suspect DOS? Or could it be something else?

P.S. if a mod could move this post to the CP forum , I'd appreciate it.. Wasn't paying attention when I posted. :)
 
Oh, I keep some of my oils in vacuum bags in the chest freezer. I just don't like half melted bags of oil laying around. :))
glad to hear it doesn't sound like DOS to you...I'm a bit bummed though that the lovely green it had is disappearing to an ugly yellow. I was hoping more for a greenish white.
