Moisturizing Magnesium Oil

If the classic version stung enough that the bottle ended up under the sink, this is the one to use instead. It's also where to start if you've never used topical magnesium and would rather not find out the hard way.

People reach for it most often for:

• Legs that won't settle at night
• Muscle tightness after work or training
• A wind-down step that isn't another pill
• Daily full-body use on skin that dries out easily

If you want the highest concentration available and the tingle has never bothered you, our Classic Magnesium Oil is the stronger formula.

Traditional magnesium oil is a saturated solution of magnesium chloride and water. On dry or depleted skin, that concentration is what causes the sting, the itch and the tight feeling as it dries.

We addressed it two ways.

The concentration. This formula is 40% Dead Sea magnesium chloride. A real dose, and deliberately not a saturated one.

The base. Organic jojoba oil, organic rose flower water and organic glycerin stay on your skin after the magnesium absorbs, so it doesn't dry tight.

Some people still notice light tingling in the first few days, usually on very dry skin or when magnesium levels are low. Our customers report it fades with regular use. If you'd rather avoid it entirely, start on your feet for the first few days and work upward.

Magnesium is used in hundreds of processes in the body, including muscle function, nerve signaling, sleep and energy production. Your body can't make it, so it has to come from food, water or supplementation.

Modern soil holds less magnesium than it did a century ago, and the food grown in it carries less as a result. Stress, alcohol and heavy sweating all increase how much you lose.

That's the case for paying attention to it. What magnesium does in any particular person is harder to say with precision, and we'd rather tell you that than promise you something specific.

Oral magnesium has to pass through your digestive system, which is why larger doses often cause stomach upset and loose stools. That is the single most common reason people stop taking it.

Applied to the skin, magnesium chloride can be absorbed transdermally, so your body takes it in directly rather than through digestion. You can use it every day without the gastrointestinal side effects, and you can put it where you want it.

One thing worth knowing: magnesium oil isn't actually an oil. The name refers to how a magnesium chloride solution feels going on, and most have no oil in them at all. Ours does, which is why it doesn't dry or feel sticky.

Pure Dead Sea Magnesium Chloride, Purified Water, Organic Jojoba Oil, Organic Rose Flower Water, Organic Glycerin, Organic Bergamot and Chamomile Essential Oils, Sorbitan Olivate.

40% Dead Sea magnesium chloride. 8 fl oz.

Magnesium chloride is the form used for topical application. Ours is harvested from the Dead Sea, the same source as our bath flakes.

Jojoba oil, rose flower water and glycerin are why this doesn't dry tight. They stay on the skin after the magnesium absorbs.

Sorbitan olivate is an emulsifier made from olives. It holds the oil and water together so you don't have to shake the bottle.

Bergamot and chamomile essential oils are organic, in small amounts, for scent.

One thing worth knowing: most magnesium oil contains no oil at all. The name refers to how it feels going on. This one actually contains oil, and that's the entire point of it.

No fillers. No synthetic fragrance. No dyes. Made by us in Minnesota.

Spray onto clean, dry skin and massage in. Chest, stomach, arms, legs, and the soles of your feet. Avoid your face, broken skin, and anywhere you've just shaved.

Up to 40 sprays a day. Most people use 10 to 20.

There's no break-in period. Some magnesium oils ask you to use them only on the soles of your feet for the first few weeks until your skin adapts. This one is built so you can use it anywhere from the first application.

No need to rinse, and no need to put a moisturizer over the top. The moisturizers are already in it.

Feet and the backs of the knees absorb most efficiently. Before bed is the most common time, though there's nothing special about the evening beyond the habit.
