That ALL Day Zanex Swap Magnesium/MSM Lotion - Nerves and Anxiety
Regular price
$31.77
Reduce mucus and inflammation...
A network meta-analysis of 44 inhalation trials found essential-oil aroma lowered heart rate and supported a calmer response to daily stress. A separate review of 18 magnesium studies pointed the same direction. Both are in this jar, on the calmest blend Josh has made.
For adults who want an evening wind-down in a jar. One 3 oz jar, same base as the rest of the line.
- 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
- Our calming evening blend. A scented magnesium and MSM lotion for the end of the day. It isn't a substitute for anything a prescriber has you on.
- The calming oils, together. This blend collects the essential oils most associated with a settled evening. A network meta-analysis of 44 inhalation trials found aroma supported a calmer nervous-system response.
- Magnesium and everyday stress. A systematic review of 18 studies found magnesium supplementation supported a calmer response to everyday stress in stress-sensitive groups; the authors called for larger, better-controlled trials. See the research drop-down.
- One of the two house blends. This and Sleep Zzz are the only blends Josh's family uses in pregnancy, and in very small amounts for under-2s. House practice, not a safety clearance - ask your provider.
- And it just smells good. Josh calls it the best smell he's ever made, and on a jar bought for the end of the day that's reason enough.
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, calming | The blend most associated with a settled evening. The oils aren't listed on this page yet. |
Count capsules as your magnesium number.
How to use
- Chest if the scent is what you're after. Bottoms of the feet for the whole-body version.
- Most people use it in the last hour of the evening, at the same time each night.
- 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 wind-down habit with a scent attached to it
- Households already using the sleep jars who want a daytime-to-evening bridge
- Anyone who wants the calmest smell in the line and doesn't need the valerian
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: A 44-trial network meta-analysis supports aromatic inhalation for a calmer state, and a systematic review of 18 studies points the same direction for magnesium while calling for larger, better-controlled trials. All of it is ingredient-level: it describes what these ingredients do, not a comparison with any medication, and this blend's oils would need disclosing to be cited directly.
FAQ
What is this actually for?
The end of the day. It's our calming evening blend on the shared magnesium and MSM base, on the chest for the smell or the bottoms of the feet for everything else. It is not a substitute for any medication, and nothing here should prompt you to change one.
Why is this one used in pregnancy when the others aren't?
Josh's family limits pregnancy use to this blend and Sleep Zzz, and uses only very small amounts of those two on children under 2. That's a house rule based on how mild the blends are, not a safety clearance.
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
- That ALL Night Sleep Zzz — the same evening, closer to bed
- That ALL Day Peaceful Prayer — another quiet blend
- Magnesium Bis-Glycinate — the reliable magnesium number, in the evening
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.
