Regular price $25.77Reduce mucus and inflammation...
Magnesium is the mineral daily demand burns through first. A 2020 review describes a loop where hard stretches raise losses and lower status makes stress land harder. This is that mineral, in a shea butter base, on the lower back, hips and thighs that ask for it monthly.
For women who want monthly comfort from a jar rather than another capsule. One 3 oz jar of the shared Magnesium/MSM base.
- 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
- Where the tension sits. Smoothed across the lower abdomen, hips, glutes and upper thighs, in a magnesium- and MSM-rich shea butter base. Skin only.
- Magnesium and daily demand. A 2020 review describes a two-way loop: demanding stretches raise magnesium losses, and lower magnesium status makes stress land harder.
- A routine, not a rescue. Josh's direction is daily until things settle, then only during your cycle, stepping it back up in the days before if you need to.
- MSM for skin comfort. Methylsulfonylmethane is an organosulfur compound. It's in the base for how it feels on skin and as a sulfur source.
- The base does the moisturizing. Organic shea butter and lab-tested hemp seed oil, which runs 50 to 70 percent linoleic acid, studied for skin-barrier comfort.
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 part that makes this jar different from the rest of the line. The oils aren't listed on this page yet. |
Count capsules as your magnesium number.
How to use
- Thin layer across the upper thighs front and back, glutes, hips, lower abdomen and lower back. Skin only, not genital or mucosal areas.
- Daily until things settle, then during your cycle. If it comes back, start again in the days leading up.
- 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.

- Essential Oil Blend
Who it's for — and who it isn't
Good fit for:
- Women who want the magnesium base on the lower back, hips and thighs instead of another capsule
- Anyone already using the line who wants a jar dedicated to those areas
- People who'd rather have a thick, filler-free lotion than a spray or an oil
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.
- You want it for the genital area. This is for the skin of the abdomen, hips, back and thighs only.

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 (magnesium)
Magnesium Status and Stress: The Vicious Circle Concept Revisited
Nutrients · 2020 · mechanistic review
A review of human and mechanistic evidence describes a two-way loop in which stress increases magnesium losses while low magnesium status raises susceptibility to stress, noting that roughly 44% of stressed individuals show chronic latent magnesium deficiency.
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: Magnesium's role in the stress response is documented in mechanistic reviews and in a systematic review of subjective anxiety, and transdermal delivery has one 25-person pilot behind it. The menstrual-comfort trials that exist used oral magnesium, so read the topical form as the same mineral on skin. Larger topical trials, and disclosure of this blend's oils, would sharpen the picture.
FAQ
Where exactly do I put it?
Upper thighs front and back, glutes, hips, lower abdomen and lower back. A thin layer, everything covered. Skin only, never genital or mucosal areas. Chest works too if you want the scent close.
How much magnesium do I actually need in a day?
The body-weight formula you may have seen runs well past both. Talk your own intake through with your provider.
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
- Magnesium Bis-Glycinate — the reliable magnesium number, in the evening
- Bomb Bath Salts — the same mineral in a soak
- That ALL Day Recovery + — the minty jar for everything else that's sore
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
