Here is the revised formula including the recommended PE-1 Aqua, along with the preparation instructions:

Revised Formula:

Distilled Water: 76%
NAG: 4%
Pure MSM: 3%
Zinc PCA: 1%
Licochalcone A: 1%
Phenoxyethanol SA: 0.8%
Allantoin: 0.2%
Nano Silver Pure: 1%
Beta Glucan OR CM Glucan: 5% (Choose one)
Calendula Extract: 3%
PE-1 Aqua: 3%
Pro Polymer: 2%

Preparation Instructions:

Measure the required amount of Distilled Water.
Add NAG, Pure MSM, Zinc PCA, Licochalcone A, Phenoxyethanol SA, Allantoin, Nano Silver Pure, Beta Glucan (or CM Glucan - choose one), Calendula Extract, and PE-1 Aqua to the water.
Stir until all ingredients are completely dissolved. The mixture will appear cloudy.
Add Pro Polymer to the mixture.
Stir or blend thoroughly until a clear gel texture is formed.

Adding PE-1 Aqua helps to enhance the penetration of the ingredients into the skin and improves the texture of the formula, making it lighter.
