once this mystery powder is revealed, how does it get mixed in? after or before the activator? and does it help the colors from browning together?

Before the activator with a blender, let sit for an hour to thicken. Used in foods many of us eat/drink daily. Helps keep the colors from "oveblending". Sorry gotta go stupid busy!

Actually comes from brown algae. Probably very similar to Brad's guess of agar which is the gelatin type substance derived from red algae.
