Good morning everyone,
So this is my 3rd batch of aloe vera soap
I didnt see this in the first 2 batches
It is made with olive . CO, palm and castor oil. Added fresh aloe vera and no colors or scents.
I see this orange tinge at the top corners
After they have cured.
Please help me identify if this is a defect or something bad and how i can fix this
Thank you for your generosity in sharing your knowledge and input.

How old is the soap?
Can you take a photo of the face of the soap?
So it’s generally an oatmeal colour except for the top corners?
What temperature did you soap at and what trace did you achieve?
No salt or clay or other additives?

Soaped at around 100 but i didnt put that in my notes(so i could be wrong)
This is the temperature I usually soap at
Made it beginning of February this year
 
It’s pretty dark for and OO, palm, CO and caster oil soap.
No honey or goats milk?
You only got partial gel so it didn’t over heat.
It might just be unmixed bits from the sides of the pot scraped in on top of the soap. Were the edges always clear and have turned the pinkish orange?
I’ve seen coconut oil turn pink when it starts to go off but it also smells bad at that stage.
I wouldn’t panic yet. Sometimes soap does weird things as it cures. See how it goes over time. Don’t give any away just yet. You’ll know if it is DOS in time.
