My New Year's resolution is to post more flame pics, in hopes that newbie will come back. You hear that, girl?
She'll come eventually; no one can resist beautiful soap pics. For now, to start the new year, a nice clean flake soap by Savon Fantasies.

So from something completely different I stumbled upon this soap:
https://bathhousesoap.com/collections/soap-by-the-slice/products/frankincense-myrrh-soap
My apologies if it has been discussed before, but does anyone know what technique is used to get the darker rim of colour around the soap and then the lighter in the middle?
Lots of beautiful soaps on that website and a beautifully crafted website itself, the marketing is spot on

This is something typically caused by the scent. It will progress through the bar with time. When you first cut a vanilla scented soap, it will have the same effect.
If it were my soap, the dark rim would be caused by a discoloring fragrance oil. If so, the bar is freshly cut, because the whole bar would eventually turn the same color as the outside edges.
I'm not sure that's the explanation for the soap in your example, but it sure looks similar.

It looks like the beginning of discoloration to me too. But it's listed for sale/sold out and by the time any of my soaps using discoloring FOs are cured, the whole bar has discolored. So, either the picture was taken when the soap was newly cut and it didn't look like that when it was fully cured or ... 
The reviews I read say that F&M FO discolors, so that would be it in that particular soap.
However, if you wanted the darker framed effect, you could still get this effect by choosing your mold as a tall vertical mold, or individual molds, batter at emulsion or very thin trace, a squirt bottle of the darker color which you lay down on the outer edges and fill in the inner part with lighter colored batter, alternating the fill as needed to maintain the effect for the height of the mold.
Lately I've been looking at rimmed soaps. Here's what looks like a combo of a CP rim with an inner MP with some embeds.

The other pictures in the listing show the bar completely changed in color to a solid. When I use Crafter's Choice Frankincense & Myrrh EO/FO my bars will also do this after cutting. I suspect the soaper took pics right after cutting, and then again after cure.
