WHAT DOES MAGNESIUM DO FOR THE BODY?
According to the National Institutes of Health Research, magnesium is essential in over 300 bodily biochemical functions. Magnesium supports several physiological processes necessary for overall health, such as muscle and nerve function, bone strength, and relaxation.
Magnesium is also beneficial to your skin and hair. When applied in topical treatments, its natural properties can improve the appearance of your skin by supporting collagen production. This can result in a smooth, bouncy, and radiant complexion, which is essential for maintaining a youthful and fresh look.
Additionally, Magnesium aids protein synthesis, a vital process by which cells grow, and multiply. Protein synthesis is essential for hair growth. It enables cells to produce keratin, the key structural protein that forms strong, healthy hair. Our hair is made up of around 95% protein.

What is Magnesium Body Butter?
Magnesium body butter is a skin cream that mixes moisturising ingredients like shea butter and other essential oils with magnesium chloride. This helps keep your skin hydrated while also providing magnesium directly to your body through the skin.
Can You Use Too Much Magnesium Cream?
Magnesium body butter is designed to soak into your skin. However, your skin acts as a barrier, so only a small amount of magnesium is absorbed into your body.A clinical study showed that using magnesium cream regularly didn't significantly raise magnesium levels in the blood. This means it's unlikely you'll absorb too much magnesium.
Generally, using magnesium cream on your skin is safe. However, if you have any kidney problems or other health conditions, it's best to speak to your doctor first
