Possible DOS??

[MistyRivers]

Hi everyone, thank you for all the amazing posts on here! I've learned so much over the years. I love making my own recipes using soapcalc and customizing my own from recipes I see online. BUT, I just made 2 different batches, which had different oils and butters in them and both immediately after pouring into my soap mold has tiny orange spots on the top. What caused this?

I can't tell you what caused the spots, but if you post both recipes, I'm sure more experienced soapmakers can help figure out probable causes. I can tell you that the spots are almost certainly not DOS, as I learned from said experienced soapers. DOS takes a bit of time to develop, so the spots are more likely from something else, perhaps some additives that might not have been mixed in thoroughly.
