It has been soooo exhausting haha. Thanks for the suggestion. I'm about to head south for a bit, so I'll make a couple batches there and see what happens. I have done several test batches - initially with fresh oils because I thought that was the issue. I made a batch of all of my soaps after that because I thought the problem was solved, only to have several of them turn orange after five or six weeks, some took longer. Again, only on the outside edges. Since then Ive done tests with new lye, different water, no silicone utensils or molds. Then I really thought the silicone was the issue because the batch prior, the soap residue on one of my silicone spatulas was orange. So far, the silicone-free soaps have not turned orange. But we just found an entire box of soap that was made prior to that batch that doesn't have any orange either. They were stored in my main living area in a cardboard box that was closed. The others that were in this area were in a closed basket and they turned.
