Magnesium Menthol Cream

Magnesium chloride with menthol, wintergreen, eucalyptus, peppermint and cajeput — the strongest thing in the range, and the coldest.

This is the one for the end of a hard day: after the garden, after the gym, after eight hours on your feet on concrete. It goes on cold and stays cold for a while.

Who it's for

Hard-worked legs, shoulders and backs. Gardeners, tradies, runners, and anyone who has been standing all day.

Not for children under five — the essential oils are too strong for them.

What it does

A deep cooling sensation that arrives within a minute and stays for a while, over a magnesium chloride base.

Fast-absorbing and not greasy. The scent is sharp and medicinal — that is the wintergreen and the eucalyptus, and it fades within the hour.

Hero ingredients

• Magnesium chloride — the base underneath everything else
• Menthol — where the cold comes from
• Wintergreen — sharp and warming underneath the cold
• Eucalyptus, peppermint and cajeput — traditionally used to invigorate the skin

How to use

Massage into the shoulders, neck, legs or lower back in slow circles until it absorbs.

Wash your hands afterwards, and keep it well away from eyes, broken skin and anywhere sensitive.
