I have found that just mixing my colorant with glycerin causes the rivers. If you are not already doing a water discount, mixing your colorant with water can have the same effect.
If you are mixing your colorants with water that will cause it. It might help to do a water discount when mixing your lye water. Otherwise you can use oil from your batch to mix the colorants, (Just a teaspoon or so) before you add the lye water.

Hi Demetrius! Yes. Market it as intentional. Now days its becoming trendy to cause glycerin rivers, just add your colorant mixed with water or glycerin to your CP soap. It’s purely aesthetic and has no bearing on the quality of the soap.
I too played with glycerin river this whole month and enjoyed it totally ... Such a beautiful soap
💖💞Love it. I always try and can never get them to appear. When I don’t try, it seems they appear. Lol. Great job!!
Beautiful soap!
This is how I do my recipes every time. But I'm not wanting glycerin rivers. What should I do differently? Thanks
Hi Robin! Water discounts usually work.
Thanks for this video! How much glycerin should I add to my oils?
