Here's the scoop on magnesium. Magnesium “oil” isn’t actually oil… and that MATTERS. This is one of the biggest points of confusion I see on magnesium and I think it leads people down the wrong track. When people hear MAGNESIUM OIL they assume it’s… well, oil. But it’s not. Magnesium oil is actually a water-based solution of magnesium chloride. It just FEELS oily on the skin because of how the minerals interact with your skin’s surface. So now let’s connect the dots… MAGNESIUM IS WATER SOLUBLE Not oil-soluble. Which means: It needs water to properly dissolve and be available for absorption. So when magnesium is added to an oil-only product (like a body butter or balm), it’s not truly dissolving into that formula. And if it’s not dissolved? It’s not in an ideal form for your skin to use. Your skin doesn’t absorb ingredients just because they’re present— THEY NEED THE RIGHT DELIVERY SYSTEM Water allows magnesium to be: • Fully dissolved • Evenly distributed • More bioavailable to the skin Oils, on the other hand, are amazing for: • Softening • Protecting • Supporting the skin barrier
