Why Magnesium?
When every single cell in the human body needs Magnesium to function optimally, it starts to take a toll on you when you don't have enough. Once upon a time, our soil was nutrient-rich and grew nutrient-rich food for us. Unfortunately, that is history and our food is lacking in everything that we need to fully nourish our amazing bodies. So, we decided to do what we can, and create products that support the two main mechanisms that can assist in healing our bodies- detoxification and remineralization. Of course, you need to do your part with making appropriate lifestyle changes to achieve lasting results, but our transdermal Magnesium Chloride products have been life-changing for us and we are ready to share it!
We tried the oral supplements, but did not notice any difference. The reason for this is because anyone with leaky gut or any other gut issues will usually not absorb and distribute Magnesium to the cells that need it. Next, came months of research and then the first ever test batch of transdermal Magnesium, and that night, sleep was so sweet! We woke up the next morning feeling well-rested and in tears of joy because of what we had been missing out on. Fast forward to today, we still use our Magnesium lotion and spray daily, and can't imagine life without it! Every single batch is made with high quality ingredients, positive vibes, and manufacturing practices that follow cGMP standards.
We hope that you feel the difference when you use our products, and we wish you a lifetime of optimal health. Oh, and this is just the beginning, so join our family and let's work towards healing together!

Who can use topical Magnesium products?
Please consult with your healthcare provider before using topical Magnesium if you have any doubts if this right for you. We suggest use of our products for adults with normal kidney function (because transdermal Magnesium may increase your urine output).
In our experience, we have used it on ourselves first, and then our kids (ages 2+). We went through almost the whole bottle (between the two of us) in one day to see what would happen (because research claims that overuse is not a concern with transdermal use), and the result for us was excess urine output. We used it every hour, after every cup of coffee, and anything we consumed that had sugar (because Magnesium leeches on to sugar and caffeine molecules in our bodies and prevents them from entering the cells that need them).
For the kiddos, they got (and still get) one pump for both feet if they are under 5 years, and one pump per foot if over 5 years. If the older kids have too much sugar, they will get a pump to massage into their forearm after the sweet indulgence.
This is not medical advice intended for you to follow, it is just our experience that we are sharing with you! Listen to your body and let it guide you and/or seek a professional medical practitioner for guidance specific to you.
When does Magnesium + Lavender Body Lotion expire?
We recommend using our products within 6 months of initial use, but all ingredients used in the product have an expiration date of 12-24 months. We have never had a customer not use up their bottle in 45 days or less, so we suggest 6 months just to be safe. Our formulation includes a preservative that is effective against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, yeast and mold (while also free of parabens and formaldehyde). Choosing to use a preservative was a no-brainer after learning about the potential harm that can come from an unpreserved product. We reached out to the manufacturer of the preservative we chose and learned they classify it as a broad spectrum, natural preservative. In the future, we will test other preservatives to see how they compare, but this one provides excellent protection against harmful microbes, and that is exactly what we wanted!
There are so many topical Magnesium products on the market! What makes your so special?
First, you will feel the love and healing intention that we poured into every bottle. We only make our products when we feel good, so bad day energy will never float around when we are making our products. Second, we researched all of the Magnesium Chloride products available to us, and pledged to only use the best. We use a top-tier, high quality, heavy metal-free Magnesium Chloride, and will never change that to increase profits. We want to bring you what we want for ourselves- the best quality at the best price.
Why do you use plastic bottles?
The decision for our packaging came down to supporting the preservation of our formula in an airless bottle and keeping shipping costs as low as possible. We noticed the product degraded over time when we used a glass jar, so our best option was to use a durable, high quality, non-leaching, BPA-free plastic. We will continue to explore packaging options and deliver the best to you.
