I have a blue and green soap I made and after a couple weeks of curing the white spots have appeared, I'm not sure exactly what this is. I don't mind it on my Shea butter soap or other soaps that are supposed to look more natural but this looks funny on the blue green soap. Any suggestions?

It could be stearic acid from one of your oils or possibly the shea butter. What other ingredients did you use and at what temp did you combine the oils and lye? Did you use titanium dioxide? Do the spots zap?
