Pure Magnesium-Rich Sea Minerals for Topical Use
Whether you’re pushing it at work or play, you need magnesium to recover. This mineral is essential for your muscles, joints, metabolism, and more.
If you’re not getting enough magnesium through diet (and most of us are not), you may feel cramps, spasms, fatigue, pain and other symptoms of deficiency. Boost your levels conveniently with topical magnesium.
Magnesium gel is a clear massage gel that holds magnesium on your skin, so it can gradually absorb.
Note that this product is not intended to treat, prevent or cure any diseases or conditions.
Bolton’s Naturals Magnesium Chloride Gel is a blend of topical magnesium and plant-based Amigel™ to help the magnesium glide. Amigel™ is a 100% natural gelling and stabilizing agent with no petroleum.
Bolton’s Naturals only uses magnesium chloride in its natural state, sourced from seawater. Every one of our topical magnesium products contains over 90 trace minerals not found in lab-produced magnesium chloride.
Each teaspoon of magnesium gel contains 225 mg of magnesium chloride.
All Ingredients: Magnesium chloride, Amigel™
Magnesium Gel is easy to use! Just massage it into your skin and let the magnesium absorb. Rub into your feet, your muscles, your back, your neck, or anywhere you have tension. After about 20 minutes, rinse with warm water or have a shower.
Magnesium gel is perfect for after a workout or at the end of a long day hunched over a desk. Any time you feel tense, tired, crampy, or achy, reach for your topical magnesium.
There’s no risk of using “too much.” Your body regulates how much magnesium is absorbed through the skin.
Cautions: For external use only. Keep away from the eyes. This product should not cause skin sensitivity; however, discontinue use if you experience redness, rash, or irritation.
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.

Seems to be giving supplemental relief when applied directly onto hands and feet muscles and joints

This product works! I have had continual neck pain for years. It never relaxes, making it painful to face to the sides. The gel helps a lot. Still experimenting with application method and timeing on that. What really amazed me is how quickly and completely it relieved dull, restless leg type of pain in my thigh and persistent pain from an old injury in my ankle. Even worked on my elbows (probably arthritis pain). Try it on whatever hurts. It works in places I never expected it to.
