INCI: Magnesium Chloride

Add luxury to your to-do list with Magnesium Chloride. These white flakes are the naturally occurring inorganic salt of magnesium and chlorine, and are easily dissolved into water, giving it a silky-soft feel. Compared to Epsom salts, it’s also more bioavailable, making it more easily absorbed by the body and perfect for spa-like muscle treatments. Magnesium Chloride is also used in hair and scalp sprays for its refreshing effect.

♡ Why we love it: The benefits of Magnesium Chloride are invaluable! A soak leaves skin soft, refreshed and conditioned - magnesium specifically has been shown to improve hydration and smoothness. This boost in hydration is why it’s often added to body sprays and hair mists, where it can give a light, tingly sensation. We love its softening abilities not only in indulgent, relaxing baths but also in foot soaks - where it helps ease hard callouses and cracked heels, loosens dull cells and leaves feet prepped for exfoliation and a nourishing balm.

Sizes: 250g, 500g, 1kg or 5kg.

    Magnesium Oil is a concentrated brine that feels slick - and sometimes a little tingly - on the skin. It’s often used in self-care routines to support muscle and nerve function, energy metabolism, and for its soothing feel. Anecdotally, many people find it helps ease muscle tightness and cramps, and some even say it supports better sleep.

    What you'll need

  • 30% Magnesium Chloride
  • 69% Distilled Water
  • 1% Geogard 221

    • Method:

    1. Start by sanitising all your equipment.
    2. Add the distilled water to a clean beaker.
    3. Sprinkle in the magnesium chloride, stirring continuously until it’s completely dissolved (the solution will warm up slightly as it reacts).
    4. Allow it to cool below 40 °C. Stir in the Geogard 221, then transfer the mixture into a glass spray bottle with a fine mist pump.

    Note: This recipe makes a 30% magnesium chloride solution - the strength most people prefer, and the concentration you’ll usually see in retail sprays. Some formulations go as high as 50%, but at that strength it’s more likely to sting on the skin.
