Inhaled essential oils aren't folklore. A network meta-analysis of 44 randomized trials found aromatherapy lowered heart rate by 3.4 bpm and supported a calmer state within 10 to 30 minutes. This is the most scent-forward jar we make.
For adults who want a bright, warm scent on the chest through the day. 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
- Scent is the point. Josh says so plainly, and we're not going to dress it up. The aromatics on this one carry.
- Calming aroma. A network meta-analysis of 44 randomized trials found inhaled essential oils settle heart rate and support a calmer state, with 10 to 30 minutes of exposure doing the most.
- Same base as the rest. Zechstein magnesium chloride and MSM in organic shea butter and hemp seed oil. Label states ~280 mg of magnesium per teaspoon.
- Soothes tired muscles. It's still a magnesium lotion. Work it into a shoulder or a calf and it does what the other jars do.
- Scent is personal. People respond differently to a blend. Try a small amount before you buy it as a gift.
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 most scent-forward jar in the line. The oils aren't listed on this page yet. |
Count capsules as your magnesium number.
How to use
- Across the chest, so the scent stays with you. Bottoms of the feet at night if you want it on more skin.
- 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 buying a jar for the scent first and the base second
- 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.
Essential Oil Blend
Essential oils and calm: network meta-analysis, 2023
Frontiers in Public Health · 2023 · meta-analysis · n=44 RCTs, 3,419 participants
A network meta-analysis of 44 randomized trials in 3,419 people found essential-oil aromatherapy lowered State (WMD -6.63) and Trait (WMD -4.97) Anxiety Inventory scores and reduced systolic blood pressure by 6.83 mmHg and heart rate by 3.43 bpm, with 10-30 minutes of exposure producing the most consistent effect.
Genuine Zechstein Magnesium Chloride (magnesium)
Magnesium and subjective stress review, 2017
Nutrients · 2017 · systematic review · n=18 studies
A systematic review of 18 studies found the existing evidence suggestive of a beneficial effect of magnesium supplementation on subjective anxiety in anxiety-vulnerable groups, while judging the overall quality of that evidence to be poor.
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.
Evidence note: Two strands of human evidence sit behind this jar: a 2023 network meta-analysis of 44 randomized trials and 3,419 participants on essential-oil inhalation and anxiety outcomes, and a systematic review of 18 magnesium studies pointing the same direction on subjective anxiety and stress while calling for better-controlled trials. The transdermal side rests on a 25-person cream pilot measuring an 8.54% serum rise versus 2.6% for placebo. All of it describes the ingredient categories; this blend's oils are proprietary, so a trial of the blend itself is what would make it product-specific.
FAQ
What does it smell like?
Bright and warm, and it carries further than most jars in the line. That's the point of this one. Underneath it is the same magnesium, MSM, shea butter and hemp seed oil base as the rest.
Where should I put it?
Chest, so the scent stays with you, or the bottoms of the feet at night. A thin layer is enough.
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
- Love In The Air Lotion — the warmer evening scent on the same base
- Peaceful Prayer Lotion — the grounding, resinous one
- BOMB Bath Salts — magnesium in the tub, same mineral, different route
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.
