Orange Soap was made on 19-June-2020
and Lavender soap was made on 10-July-2020

And kindly guide me about the recipe is it good or not?
 
I would say it's a bit early for DOS. On your orange soap, it looks more like your orange powder/zest is the culprit. I make a soap with orange zest and it does the same thing. Do they smell off in any way? How old were your oils?

Your recipes look fine to me, similar to one of my recipes.
 
Bought oils week before making Orange Variant. I also made Activated Charcoal before orange variant and made Lavender and Rose clay soaps too but orange spot was not on Activated charcoal neither on rose clay they are appearing on orange soap and lavender soap
 
What are you curing soaps on? I have had dos appear before full cure when curing on metal. Also what water do you use? I have had dos quickly when using tap water.
