Magnesium Body Butter is one of many great products gaining popularity in the wellness-skincare world. Testimonials online are full of people who suffer from chronic insomnia trying a form of Magnesium butter out, and being shocked at how they’re suddenly able to fall into a deep, restful sleep.
When I sought out to create our Magnesium Body Butter, it was out of desperation. Our youngest had stopped sleeping and would stay awake from 1am-7am… for 3 months, basically all of our summer that year!
I had to figure something out, and one of the things I believe helped was this combination of high quality magnesium from an ancient sea bed in the Netherlands, richly scented with cocoa butter and lavender from France. After massaging it into his little chubby legs and feet, I was able to help our little guy calm down and get the deep, restful sleep his body needed. Now he sleeps well past 8am on the regular!
Maybe he was magnesium deficient? It turns out when I researched it, most people are! It has been said we are currently in a silent epidemic of magnesium deficiency in 2024. From our teenage years to adulthood, we need about 400 mg of magnesium daily, however most of our foods lack this most important mineral.
Aside from the internal mental health benefits, in our home we also use our product for deep tissue massage – and my husband and I have never been so amazed at how well it restores sore muscles! Apparently it’s used a lot in professional massage, as it gets deep into the muscle fibers and releases their tension and soreness. I’ve never felt anything like it – BONUS that it’s safe for babies and children!
Before magnesium oil, I used to experience debilitating and excruciating monthly cycles where I would be laid up the first day, feeling sad and sorry for myself…. After using (Ancient Minerals – our source for the main ingredient) for only two weeks, I wasn’t expecting any miracles. But alas, the, “Miracle of Magnesium,” is real… I did not need to take any pain killers, as there as NO PAIN whatsoever, a mild twinge at best.”

And it’s the perfect gift for pregnant women, as it’s even able to help prevent those awful pregnancy leg cramps, joint pain, and muscle soreness/muscle cramps, and even stops restless leg syndrome!
When applied to the skin, a term called trans-dermal magnesium therapy, there is rapid absorption as its able to get into your blood stream faster (relieving stress & promoting peaceful feelings & a restful night’s sleep faster than when ingested).
Ordinarily, you find these wonderful benefits from a magnesium oil spray made from magnesium chloride flakes dissolved into water. While the spray, if from a high quality source, you will experience the benefits of topical magnesium, but will probably experience the itching and burning sensation that also goes along with applying it directly. This is how Magnesium body butters and creams were made popular, people found that adding organic ingredients like raw shea butter, mango butter, or organic coconut oil helps to not only give a silky texture to the cream, but to offer the benefits of topical magnesium without the itchiness and burning sensations. And a small amount applied to restless legs or sore muscles goes a long way, our 4 oz jar typically lasts 3 months, and stays fresh 18+ months due to the salt content preserving it.
In our own Magnesium Body Butter, we source our magnesium chloride from the ancient Zechstein seabed in the Netherlands – it is cited as the highest quality magnesium in the world. We pair it with organic cocoa butter for a silky texture, and add in Lavender essential oil from the fields of France, making it as luxurious as we possibly could. Our customers love this product and it has become one of our best sellers (and one of the most frequently sold out!).
Who Should Use it?
Designed to be safe for everyone, try a small amount to determine if there is any skin irritation, itchiness or burning. It’s been found that when you’re extremely magnesium deficient, you’re more likely to have itchiness or burning with initial use. Adding a small amount of vaseline when you apply the body butter has helped our more sensitive customers be able to use it without the itchiness/burning until their bodies are ready for the higher dose. However, if those sensations don’t go away, even after diluting it with vaseline, it might be an allergic reaction and you should stop using it.
- Elderly customers – relieves mental stress, promotes feelings of calm tranquility and combats insomnia
- Good and safe for pregnant women with muscle spasms, leg cramps, restless legs and muscle soreness
- Great for athletes, as it restores vital minerals to sore muscles and promotes cellular health – making the body more efficient at extreme sports
- Beneficial for children & teens with autism or sensory disorders, as it seems to help them sleep deeper and longer. We’ve had good reports from parents (along with our own personal experience) when using our product, however there needs to be more research overall into the neurological benefits for autism and sensory issues.
The best thing about our product is that it is almost supersaturated with the main ingredient, meaning it is NOT watered down or diluted beyond what is needed for comfortable and luxurious application. I’ve read reviews of creams or body butters that were too liquidy to technically be a, “butter.” That is not us! One customer tried it on at a market, and immediately said, “WOW! It feels like butter!”
Also, we don’t believe in whipping our body butter, because when you whip a product, you’re just introducing air into it to increase its volume temporarily. It can either fall flat if not used in a certain timeframe, or lose its volume, not to mention you’re often paying the same price for a lot of air!
We love to pack our product as much as possible into its 4 oz jar, so that you get your money’s worth! And a little goes a long way. When it is this supersaturated and packed into a dense, silky texture, you only need a very small amount to start seeing the benefits almost immediately.
It is normal to start seeing some slight amounts of liquid at the top of your jar overtime, it is due to it being supersaturated. We just empty these droplets when they occur and continue use.
