Jill,

From what I understand, you can use it, just don't sell it. (BTW, I am

assuming you are Jill but you did not sign your name.

DOS (Dreaded Orange Spots) aren't harmful, just ugly. It means the

oils are oxidizing for some reason. I find soybean oil to cause DOS,

but this is just anecdotal.

I have made cp soap where DOS was a problem. I got rid of the soap in a number

of ways:

put a bar or so into a container and use it for washing dishes. Put the

container under the running tap and take it out when you have enough water in

the sink.

grate it up and add washing soda, bicarbonate of soda and extra caustic soda

and use it for washing your clothes. Oh, yes. Add lots of water and turn it

into a creamy/liquid soap.

grate it and and water until you get a sort of creamy mixture and add to lots

of bicarb (all in a large mouthed container) add an essential oil of choice and

use it as a kitchen sink, stove, floor cleaner. After wiping on spray with

cheap vinegar and wipe off

grate it up and add the dregs of ground coffee with some water and turn it

into a 'workers' soap or hand kitchen soap. Great for getting out the smell of

onion or garlic.

Now, all of a sudden you have a very useful soap instead of a nuisance.
