Based on the information you provided, your revised formula and mixing method are correct according to the advice given in the conversation. Since all the ingredients you listed are water-soluble and no heat is involved in the mixing process, you can indeed mix them all together in the water.

Revised Formula (for 100g):

• Repair Activator: 10 g (Based on the original suggestion, but there was a suggestion to reduce to 5g if skin damage is not severe)
• Aloe Vera Extract: 3 g
• Vitamin B3: 4 g
• Glucosamine: 4 g
• Green Tea Extract: 5 g
• Witch Hazel (Distilled - Alcohol Free): 20 g

Mixing Steps:

Since all ingredients are water-soluble and no heat is required, the mixing method is as follows:

1. Start by adding the water to a container.
2. Gradually add each ingredient one by one (e.g., Vitamin B3, Glucosamine, Aloe Vera Extract, MSM, Zinc PCA, Licorice Extract, Repair Activator, Green Tea Extract, Witch Hazel).
3. Stir well after adding each ingredient until it is dissolved or dispersed before adding the next one.

Additional Tip for Gel Texture:

As suggested in the conversation, if you want the essence to have a gel texture for easier application and less waste, you can use Pro Polymer. The steps for this would be:

3. Then, gradually add the remaining ingredients one by one and stir until well combined.
