Pure Magnesium-Rich Sea Minerals for Topical Use
How effective is magnesium absorbed through the skin? Consider the evidence from studies:
The magnesium chloride used in our Magnesium Chloride line of products tests clean for heavy metals, contaminants and toxins. However, it is licensed and recommended only for external use.
Magnesium chloride hexahydrate (MCH) is chemically/laboratory produced. Our Magnesium Chloride topical magnesium products are ‘wildcrafted’. That means, they’re taken directly from salt evaporation ponds. Hexaydrate means “without water” and when MCH topical brands make magnesium spray, cream or “oil”, they rehydrate these lab-produced magnesium flakes. MCH only includes magnesium chloride without the 90 naturally-occurring trace minerals found in our wildcrafted magnesium chloride from seawater. We believe that many of these trace minerals are also transdermal and beneficial to our health.
Whenever a new batch of Magnesium Chloride is released, it is lab tested to validate that there are no contaminants. It is tested for petrochemicals, pathogens, agricultural runoff and heavy metals that might be harmful. It tests clean or we don’t use it.
Our Magnesium Chloride is derived from salt evaporation ponds along the coast of Southern California. Depending on prevailing temperatures and inches of rain, the ocean water captured in the ponds will sit for 3 to 6 months until sufficient water has evaporated to cause the salt to drop out of suspension. The water that remains on top of the salt is naturally high in magnesium chloride as well as approximately 80 other trace minerals.
Some people use our Magnesium Chloride liquid as a toner, to tighten and smooth skin before applying other products in the morning or at night. Others use Magnesium Chloride Balm as a facial moisturizer. Allow the magnesium 20-minutes or so to absorb into the skin before applying any other product.
Your skin should absorb the magnesium transdermally in approximately 20 minutes. If you’re using the Magnesium Chloride liquid, spray or gel, you may wish to rinse it off. The Magnesium Chloride Balm is very emollient, like a rich cream, and is meant to be left on until your next shower or bath.
Your skin effectively regulates the amount of magnesium absorbed. There is no risk of taking in too much magnesium transdermally. The only consideration is personal comfort.
Think of our topical magnesium as you would seawater. If your skin is broken or irritated, you may experience discomfort. Use caution on damaged or inflamed the skin. Although magnesium chloride liquid is healing (much like seawater) it is advisable to start with a conservative application, and if necessary, further dilute the product to comfort.
Using both topical and oral magnesium as part of a daily regime is a great way to treat and prevent magnesium deficiency. Some people find they get the best relief from their symptoms when they double-up on magnesium. There is further no reason to avoid using both. Your body regulates the amount of magnesium it absorbs through the skin, so there’s no risk of applying too much topically. If you are sensitive to the gentle laxative effect of Natural Calm Magnesium Citrate Powder, simply use less of the powder and more of the topical magnesium.
No. Magnesium absorbed transdermally (through the skin) pybasses the digestive tract, targetting cells directly. You should not experience a laxative effect.
Magnesium chloride has an oil-like texture; it feels silky. However, magnesium chloride itself is not an oil and is non-staining. Only our Magnesium Chloride Balm combines magnesium chloride with oils. Magnesium Chloride liquid, spray and gel are oil-free.
Our Magnesium Chloride line of products deliver magnesium chloride through the skin. Magnesium Chloride Liquid is a concentrated form of pure magnesium chloride. Most users will wish to dilute the full-strength liquid prior to use. Magnesium Chloride Balm combines magnesium chloride with coconut oil, shea butter and beeswax. It’s rich, moisturizing and ideal for those with sensitive skin. Magnesium Chloride Spray is a diluted version of the full-strength liquid, and it comes in a convenient spray bottle. It’s also suitable for sensitive skin. Magnesium Chloride Gel is ideal for massaging into tense, painful and spasming muscles. Like the balm and spray, it is also a diluted form of magnesium chloride.
Many people report a feeling of relaxation when they use our topical magnesium products. However, there is no reason to believe you will feel sleepy. Magnesium is essential for both energy production and proper sleep.
Topical magnesium can be applied at any time of day. Use it when you have muscle tension, aches or pains. When applied in the evening, our topical magnesium can help to prevent restless legs and other muscle-related sleep disturbances.
There’s no denying the importance of essential nutrients, including minerals such as magnesium, for human health. Magnesium plays a particularly important role in the regulation of nerve and muscle function, as well as in the maintenance of bone and DNA

“I used Magnesium Liquid on my legs, hips and lower back when training for my first marathon at the age of 48. The difference it made was significant. It helped my sore, tight muscles to relax after my training runs so that I could go out again the next day. I have no doubt I would not have been able to complete the marathon if it was not for using the oil to help me recover each day. Great product!”

“I’m absolutely amazed at how well the Magnesium Chloride Liquid works when I have any issues with my muscles. Having back and neck issues, getting a massage with the spray instead of any other oil really reduces the pain factor the next day. Once again, THANK YOU!”

Is it possible to get joint pains from using too much of magnesium chloride oil spray?
Anna O’Byrne –
Hi Jules,
Joint pain can be relieved my magnesium, but not caused by magnesium. I hope you find relief and the cause of your joint pain.
Thank you for your inquiry!

Is it OK to spray on the gums?
Anna O’Byrne –
Hi Christine,
This transdermal magnesium chloride is only approved for external use – as is the case with other brands you’ll find. However, some people do brush their teeth with the mag spray or mag liquid, but they then spit it out. I have also used it on canker sores with good results. In both cases, the amount used “internally” is very tiny. I would advise you to use it primarily on the skin, but in small amounts on the inside of the mouth, provided you aren’t actively swallowing.
Thank you,
Anna

Is it good to relieve pain caused by arthritis?
Anna O’Byrne –
People with arthritis do tell us the topical magnesium helps! If you do a quick search on magnesium for arthritis, you will find some very promising results. Thank you!

Havent used this.. would this be good for tourette tics?
Anna O’Byrne –
Hi Shelly,
While we can’t give medical advice, it does seem there may be a relationship between magnesium and Tourette Syndrome.
“In clinical terms, magnesium deficiency is related to neuromuscular hyperexcitability, and may give rise to convulsions, chorea and athetoid movements. It has also been related to biochemical and genetic alterations that may provoke the symptoms evidenced by children with TS” (From
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2660319/)
The above study looks at the therapeutic use of magnesium and B6 for TS, and it’s interesting because in the spring we are launching a new product that has both magnesium and B6, together with other nutrients important for mental calm. The new product will be called Calm Balance, so look out for it!
Thank you,
Anna
Sara –
Is it ok to use it on your scalp? I am suffering from occipital neuralgia and the nerve pain on my head is insupportable. Not sure if safe to use on my head to calm down the nerve pain. Thanks
Anna O’Byrne –
Hi Sara,
It is absolutely fine to use the liquid MagTherapy (or the spray) on your scalp. I would not suggest using the gel or balm on those areas unless you are immediately washing your hair:) The only areas to avoid are the eyes, nostrils and other delicate areas. Use on broken skin may sting but is also a disinfectant.
Thank you,
Anna

I sprayed this on my leg when I had muscle cramps and it worked very well
Nicole L. –
I love the convenience of a spray!! And so grateful for the free booklet that you sent along with my order!!! I use the magnesium spray as a deodorant, on my face a few times a day to help with rosacea, and on my legs before bed to help with restless legs. It has made a huge difference! I sleep better, the rosacea has calmed down a lot, and I no longer experience restless legs! And, If I get sore muscles, I spray on and massage it in and the soreness disappears!–May take a few applications if the first one doesn’t quite do it but it always works eventually. (I have a neighbour who is in his 70s and was admitted to hospital recently. He had seizures and was in a coma for several days. His doctors told him that much of his problems were from the fact that he was aging and not taking the necessary steps to counteract it. The doctors specifically mentioned the need to be taking magnesium.)
