The Magic of Magnesium

The Magic of Magnesium
The mineral that knows when to call it a day.

 

Magnesium has become a familiar part of bath, body and recovery routines, particularly when the day has been long or the body is feeling it.

An essential mineral found naturally in the body, magnesium appears in topical products in several forms, including magnesium chloride and magnesium sulfate. You’ll see it across bath flakes, salts, sprays, lotions and other body care made with rest and recovery in mind.

Its appeal extends beyond the ingredient itself. Magnesium products often belong to the slower end of the day; a warm bath, tired muscles, a little less rushing and finally calling it a night.

Simple enough. And perhaps that’s why the ritual has stuck.

What is Magnesium?

Magnesium is an essential mineral involved in hundreds of processes within the human body and is also widely found throughout nature.

In bath and body care, two forms appear particularly often: magnesium sulfate, commonly known as Epsom salts, and magnesium chloride, frequently used in bath flakes, sprays and lotions.

Why is it used in body care?

Magnesium is commonly included in products centred around relaxation, post-exercise routines and tired muscles.

Bath salts and flakes dissolve into warm water, while sprays, lotions and massage products offer an easy way to incorporate magnesium into body care without turning the evening into a project.

You'll often find Magnesium in

• Bath salts and flakes
• Bath soaks
• Body sprays
• Body lotions
• Massage products
• Foot soaks
• Recovery-focused body care

Pairs beautifully with

• Lavender
• Eucalyptus
• Arnica
• Chamomile
• Essential oils

Good to know

Magnesium has accumulated some impressive claims over the years, particularly around absorption through the skin. The evidence for significant transdermal magnesium absorption through intact skin remains limited, so it’s worth keeping those claims in perspective.

What is much easier to appreciate is the experience itself; warm water, body care and a reason to slow the pace for a while.
