That ALL Day Breathe Deep Magnesium/MSM Lotion - Sinus and Respiratory
Regular price
$31.77
Reduce mucus and inflammation...
A randomized trial rated a shea butter emollient excellently tolerated in 96.7 percent of cases, and MSM has human trials behind post-exertion comfort. That's the base here, carrying Zechstein magnesium, under the sharpest cooling blend we make.
For adults who want a sharp chest rub in a clean base instead of petrolatum. One 3 oz jar.
- Zechstein Magnesium
- MSM
- Organic Shea Butter
- Lab Tested Hemp Seed Oil
- Small Batch
- No Fillers
- No Synthetic Fragrance
- No Parabens
- No Synthetic Emulsifiers
Why people use it
- A chest rub in a real lotion base. Sharp and cooling on the skin, carried in organic shea butter and hemp seed oil rather than petrolatum.
- Soothes tired muscles. The chest and upper back get tight after a long day. Zechstein magnesium chloride and MSM, worked in with the heel of your hand.
- Calming aroma for evening. Plenty of people put this on the chest and the feet at the same time before bed.
- Label states ~280 mg of magnesium per teaspoon. Zechstein bischofite, out of a salt bed roughly 250 million years old under the Netherlands.
- Not for little faces. Standard aromatherapy guidance keeps cooling oils away from the faces of infants and young children. Chest and back only, on older kids, after you ask your provider.
What's in the jar
Same base in every jar in the line. Only the essential oil blend changes.
| Ingredient | Why it's in the jar |
|---|---|
| Organic shea butter | The body of the lotion. It's what makes skin still feel soft an hour later. |
| Lab-tested hemp seed oil | 50 to 70 percent linoleic acid. Plant oils high in linoleic acid are studied for skin-barrier comfort. It also keeps the lotion from sitting on top of the skin. |
| Genuine Zechstein magnesium chloride | The magnesium. Bischofite, solution-mined from a 250-million-year-old Permian salt bed under the Netherlands, not built as a synthetic salt. The label lists ~280 mg of magnesium per teaspoon of lotion; that is magnesium in the jar, not an absorbed dose. Magnesium is bound by 3,751 human proteins (the human magnesome), which is why it's the base of every jar. |
| Deuterium-depleted distilled water | The water phase, and the carrier for the magnesium chloride. The deuterium-depletion step is Josh's own preference, not a claim about your skin. |
| MSM (methylsulfonylmethane) | An organosulfur compound. It's in the jar for skin comfort and for the sulfur it carries. |
| White/yellow beeswax | Holds the butter and water phases together and gives the lotion its set, without a synthetic emulsifier. |
| Essential oil blend | The profile is sharp and cooling, the kind used in a chest rub. The oils aren't listed on this page yet. |
Count capsules as your magnesium number.
How to use
- Smooth a thin layer across the chest and upper back. This blend reads strong, so start light.
- Start with a thin layer, a teaspoon or less. A little goes a long way.
- Chest for the scent, bottoms of the feet when you want it on more skin. Thighs and forearms are the next spots people reach for. That's how people use it, not an absorption ranking.
- Patch test a small area and give it 24 hours before you make it a daily habit.
- If the jar separates, sit it in a bowl of hot water about 20 minutes, then remix with a milk frother. Repeat if it's still firm.
- Keep it cool and dry, out of a bathroom that swings hot and cold. Use within 12 months of opening.
- Pregnancy: we point people to Zanex Swap or Sleep Zzz. Under age 2: those two only, in very small amounts.
Sourcing & making
Every jar in this line is the same base: organic shea butter, lab-tested hemp seed oil, genuine Zechstein magnesium chloride, deuterium-depleted distilled water, MSM, and beeswax. The magnesium is bischofite, solution-mined from a Permian salt bed roughly 1,600 meters under the Netherlands, not built as a synthetic salt. Beeswax holds the water and butter phases together, so there is no synthetic emulsifier in it. Blended in small batches and poured into a 3 oz jar when you order.

Who it's for — and who it isn't
Good fit for:
- Adults who want a bracing chest and upper-back rub through a change of season
- Anyone who wants magnesium on skin as part of the routine, with capsules doing the real number
- Practitioners who want a clean topical to hand a patient: seven ingredients, no fillers, no synthetic fragrance
Probably not for you if:
- You react to fragrance or specific botanicals. Email us and we'll tell you exactly which oils are in this blend.
- You're avoiding bee products, shea, or hemp.
- You're counting on a lotion to replace oral magnesium. It won't. Count capsules.

The research behind the ingredients
Published research on the ingredients in this product, for education. These studies were not conducted on this product.
Genuine Zechstein Magnesium Chloride (transdermal magnesium)
Effect of transdermal magnesium cream on serum and urinary magnesium levels in humans: A pilot study
PLOS ONE · 2017 · RCT · n=25 enrolled, 24 completed
In a single-blind, parallel-group pilot trial of 25 adults, applying a magnesium cream supplying 56 mg of magnesium daily for two weeks raised serum magnesium by 8.54% versus 2.6% with placebo, reaching statistical significance only in the non-athlete subgroup.
MSM (methylsulfonylmethane)
Methylsulfonylmethane: Applications and Safety of a Novel Dietary Supplement
Nutrients · 2017 · mechanistic review
A peer-reviewed review of the human and animal literature reported that MSM is well tolerated at up to four grams daily and that human trials show lower pain scores and reduced markers of protein oxidation, lipid peroxidation and creatine kinase after exertion.
100% Pure Organic Shea Butter and carrier plant oils (topical)
Anti-Inflammatory and Skin Barrier Repair Effects of Topical Application of Some Plant Oils
International Journal of Molecular Sciences · 2018 · mechanistic review
A review of nineteen topical plant oils reported that applying them to skin reduces inflammatory signalling, supports antioxidant activity and speeds barrier recovery, with shea butter's triterpenes shortening the time taken for wounds to close.
Evidence note: The base ingredients carry human and mechanistic evidence: a 25-person transdermal magnesium cream pilot showing an 8.54% serum rise versus 2.6% for placebo (significant in the non-athlete subgroup, with the authors calling for larger trials), a safety and applications review of MSM, and a 19-oil review of topical plant oils on barrier repair and inflammatory signalling. Those studies measured skin barrier and magnesium status. The oils in this blend are proprietary, so an inhalation or respiratory-comfort trial of this specific blend is what would speak to the sinus positioning.
FAQ
Can I put this under my child's nose?
No. Standard aromatherapy safety guidance is that oils high in 1,8-cineole or menthol stay away from the faces of infants and children. Chest and back only, on children old enough per the family's 5-and-up practice, and ask your provider first.
Where do people use it?
Mostly across the chest and upper back for the scent, and the bottoms of the feet at bedtime. A thin layer is enough; this is one of the sharper blends in the line.
How much magnesium gets through skin?
Research is still catching up. One pilot trial saw serum magnesium rise after two weeks of a magnesium cream; a 2017 review called for bigger studies. People use it for how it feels on tired muscles and skin; we count capsules as the reliable magnesium number.
Why did my jar separate?
No fillers and no heavy emulsifier, so the water and butter phases drift apart, faster in a warm bathroom. Sit the jar in hot water about 20 minutes, then remix with a milk frother. Repeat if it's still firm. Nothing is wrong with it.
Can kids use it? What about pregnancy?
Josh's family uses these on adults and older kids, and uses only the Zanex Swap or Sleep Zzz blends, in small amounts, for under-2s and in pregnancy. That's house practice, not a safety clearance.
Pairs well with
- Deep Tissue Lotion — the strongest blend in the line, for a stubborn tight spot
- BOMB Bath Salts — magnesium in the tub at the end of the day
- Magnesium Malate — the daytime capsules that carry your real magnesium number
Cautions
- For external use only. Keep it away from the eyes and mucous membranes, and off broken or freshly shaved skin, where magnesium chloride commonly stings.
- Store cool and dry, out of a steamy bathroom. Separation is normal in a filler-free lotion; rewarm and remix rather than assuming it spoiled. Use within 12 months of opening.
Lab Tested
Every product. COA on request, ~2 weeks.
