MAGNESIUM BALM
Mineral-Rich, Warm-Spiced Tallow Pomade
Most magnesium supplements work, until they don't. Oral magnesium can cause stomach cramps and loose stools at effective doses, and most topical magnesiums itch or sting on bare skin. This balm solves both. Magnesium chloride absorbs directly through your skin, bypassing your digestive system entirely. The tallow base — naturally compatible with your skin's own oils — carries the magnesium in and buffers any sensitivity, so you get the full benefit without the reaction. No stomach issues, no irritation, and gentle enough for kids — which makes this one of the few magnesium options that works for the whole family. Rub it into feet, calves, or shoulders before bed and let it work while you sleep.

MAGNESIUM CHLORIDE
Not all magnesium is created equal. Chloride is one of the most bioavailable forms for topical use, meaning more of it actually makes it through your skin.
TRANSDERMAL
Oral magnesium can wreck your stomach. This one skips the gut entirely. It absorbs directly through your skin and into your tissues without touching your digestive system. No cramps, no loose stools.

what's actually in it
SHORT LIST. BIG RESULTS.
TALLOW
The base everything else is built on. Derived from grass-fed cattle, it mirrors your skin's natural fatty acid profile — absorbing fast, carrying the magnesium in.
MAGNESIUM CHLORIDE
The mineral your body runs on but rarely gets enough of. One of the most bioavailable forms for topical use — absorbs directly through skin, bypasses your gut, and goes straight to your tissues.
BEESWAX
The balm's structure. Gives it that pomade consistency that melts on contact without feeling greasy, and creates a light protective layer that keeps the magnesium working longer after application.
JOJOBA OIL
Technically a liquid wax, not an oil — which is why it absorbs so cleanly. Softens skin, supports the tallow base, and helps everything else sink in evenly.
