Magnesium Moon Cream

Harness the power of nature for better sleep and pain relief. Magnesium is important for our bodies in so many ways, and applying topically allows it to be absorbed transdermally, through the skin, bypassing the digestive issues that magnesium supplements can sometimes bring. 

Here are some benefits of magnesium:

• It's involved in regulating the nervous system, and can help with better sleep and relaxation
• magnesium has an important role in muscle function, and applying it topically right at the site of a muscle cramp or spasm can alleviate those symptoms 
• because magnesium helps with nerve function, it can help alleviate restless leg syndrome and symptoms of neuropathy
  
• many people unknowingly have a magnesium deficiency, and the nighttime ritual of smoothing on magnesium lotion can help restore normal levels
• magnesium naturally helps relieve stress and anxiety

Other powerful ingredients in this luscious, natural cream include:

• Lavender essential oil for relaxation and better sleep (also available in unscented!)
• Shea butter deeply moisturizes, is full of vitamins a and e, soothes inflammation and dryness
• Mango butter is highly moisturizing and rich in fatty acids that nourish the skin, is anti-inflammatory, and contains antioxidants like vitamin c
• Hemp seed oil has anti-inflammatory essential fatty acids, helping improve skin conditions like psoriasis and eczema
• Vitamin e is a powerful antioxidant that protects skin cells from damage, reduces inflammation, and promotes overall skin health

This cream contains loads of magnesium chloride, which is more effective than the magnesium found in epsom salts. Magnesium is water soluble and can only be absorbed through the skin if dissolved in water; the water in this cream helps hydrate the skin too. The advantage of a magnesium cream over magnesium oil (which is actually just magnesium chloride and water) is that on its own, magnesium can be itchy and irritating. All the gorgeous moisturizers we've added take care of this issue. 

I (Jami) started looking for a magnesium solution when I started suffering from leg cramps at night, which can feel like torture when you're trying to sleep. I've found that magnesium lotion applied directly to the cramps can give relief within 20 minutes. So of course I set out to make my own, even better! And at a lower price point than many brands out there--I want this to be accessible for anyone. 

And this nourishing cream delivers. It helps me with sleep and pain relief, and it is just luscious and beautiful. We make our magnesium cream lovingly in small batches right here in our Mt Vernon studio, and package it in protective amber glass jars. Available for subscribe and save too!

Safe for kids and babies 6 months and up, but test a small patch first to make sure it's not irritating.
