Product Application and Usage

Ancient Minerals Magnesium Lotion is a smooth, quickly absorbed emulsion of magnesium chloride in a skin-nourishing base of certified organic oils. Ancient Minerals is fragrance free, paraben free, and contains no phenoxyethanol.

A gentler concentration of magnesium chloride than our magnesium oil or magnesium gel products, Ancient Minerals Magnesium Lotion protects the most sensitive skin.

This Ancient Minerals Magnesium Lotion contains 40mg of elemental magnesium per one ml (one full pump).

Magnesium Lotion and Your Health

Studies show that most Americans have magnesium deficient diets, with one in five getting less than half the RDA for magnesium in their daily diets.¹

Magnesium works within our cells — the powerhouses, factories and regulators of the body’s systems. Its crucial role in over 300 fundamental biochemical reactions affects the brain, the muscles, the heart and blood vessels, and ultimately our overall health and well-being.

Yet magnesium has been placed on the short list of nutrients of concern by the U.S. Department of Health² due to widespread low intake. While many are aware of the importance of calcium, the parallel and in some ways even more crucial role of magnesium is less widely known.
