Yes, that's the description of a highly terped paste! Fast, fast
fast! Dark, dark, dark! And .. the stain on keratinized skin (palms
and soles) no longer has such an advantage over non-keratinized skin!
The stains on forarms, navels .... amazing colors! Shallow takes, but
intense. For some reason that I haven't yet sussed, the dye molecules
are descending only half as deep as they usually do, but are strongly
oxidized as far down as they go. I have some hunches about why .....
but need to ask someone questions first.

Look for constituents of essential oils that have molecular structures
similar to terpineol ... especiall the terpinene4-ol that is in Tea
Tree oil up to 40%. That does EXACTLY what you describe! Once you
have that sort of highly oxidizing solvent in your paste ... the henna
molecules just plain go ballistic!

I'm with you ... I love the idea that we all now have absolute control
over what's going into the paste!
