Magnesium Calm Cream

A pure magnesium chloride base with lavender, chamomile and jasmine — the quietest of the four magnesium creams, and the one that lives on the bedside table.

Magnesium chloride on the skin is an old practice and a simple one. This is that, made into something soft enough to use on a child before bed.

Who it's for

Anyone winding down at the end of a long day, and children who need help settling.

Gentle enough for small children, strong enough to be worth an adult's while.

What it does

Sinks in fast, without grease, and leaves a soft herbal scent behind.

The magnesium can tingle slightly on first use, especially on skin that is dry — that settles with regular use.

Hero ingredients

• Magnesium chloride — the base, and the whole point of it
• Lavender — quiet and herbal, long used at the end of the day
• Chamomile — soft, settling, and kind to sensitive skin
• Jasmine — the warmth underneath the other two

How to use

Massage a small amount into the soles of the feet, the shoulders or the lower back.

Before bed, or after a warm bath for children. Avoid broken or freshly shaved skin.

Questions

It tingles — is that normal?
Yes. Magnesium chloride can tingle on first use, and more so on dry skin. It usually settles after a few applications. If it stings rather than tingles, wash it off and try it on damp skin instead.

Can I use it on my children?
Yes. This is the one in the range made with them in mind. The Menthol cream is the one to keep away from under-fives.

Which magnesium cream is which?
Calm for bedtime, Lemon Myrtle for mornings, Relax for tired legs, Menthol for the cooling hit after hard work.
