Let me know your guesses on why this streaking happened. I used two new colorants for the first time, Stormy Blue Mica and Cappuccino Mica from Brambleberry. They're called "mica" but also contain titanium dioxide and oxides. Because titanium dioxide has given me glycerin rivers in the past, I made sure to soap at low temperatures but I did not alter my lye/water ratio. I used my successful basic recipe
12% avocado oil
4.5% castor oil
27% coconut oil
23.5% olive oil
33% palm oil
superfat 5%
4.67 oz lye, 10.89 oz water
I still think it looks nice but I expected two solid colors.
