Magnesium Body Butter

A magnesium-rich body butter that helps support relaxation while deeply nourishing and hydrating the skin.

Product Description

80% of humans are believed to be deficient in magnesium. Magnesium has been called one of the most important minerals in the body. It helps regulate calcium, potassium, and sodium, supports cellular health, and plays a role in over 300 biochemical functions.

Many people struggle with symptoms that may be related to low magnesium levels, and this body butter was created as an easy way to support daily magnesium intake through the skin. Because our skin is our largest organ, topical magnesium is often preferred by those who want an alternative to oral supplements.

Potential signs associated with magnesium deficiency may include:

Migraines and headaches, leg cramps, restless legs, anxiety, growing pains, sleep disturbances, irritability, nausea, abnormal heart rhythms, low blood pressure, confusion, muscle spasms and weakness, hyperventilation, and insomnia.

Magnesium Body Butter Details

This body butter is thicker than most “whipped” body butters on the market. To allow shipping in warm weather without adding emulsifiers or alcohol, it was intentionally formulated to be slightly thicker than normal. It still melts beautifully into the skin, and a little goes a long way. A 2 oz jar can last a very long time with regular use.

No fragrance is added, though the cocoa butter naturally gives it a light chocolate scent.

Contains approximately 156 mg of magnesium per teaspoon. Each 2 oz jar contains approximately 3,750 mg of magnesium.

A note from the maker: This magnesium supported her through pregnancy with minimal leg cramps and discomfort. She began applying 1 teaspoon to the soles of her feet and calves before bed. It also makes a thoughtful baby shower gift for that reason.
