Description
Muscle Butter, my Magnesium chloride balm, was the product that started my journey into formulation. It’s not easy to stabilize a large amount of Magnesium salts into an creamy foundation of Jojoba and Shea Butter, and the learning and passion involved in solving that issue blossomed into Bodacious Skincare!
Magnesium balm is now more popular that ever (for good reason) and you will find a lot of choices out there. Take a look at the ingredients list of any product you are using (they are listed in order from greatest concentration to lowest). What is sometimes called “magnesium oil” is not an oil at all, and is simply magnesium salts dissolved in water. It has a slippery feel, and can be used directly on the skin as a spray-on treatment. Without any protective lipids, however, it can be drying and cause itchiness. My Muscle Butter is as topically soothing to skin as it is nourishing to the sore, tense muscles and fascia beneath. The lipid base is Cayenne-infused Jojoba to deliver the analgesic (pain relief) and circulatory benefits of capsaicin and organic Shea Butter to protect against dry, irritated skin and deliver the anti-oxidant vitamins A and E. One study found Shea Butter to be more effective for eczema than commonly prescribed petroleum products, and it is a safe alternative to nut butters for those with nut allergies.
I use a high concentration of Magnesium in my formulation, and each jar of Muscle Butter contains over 20,000 mg of Magnesium chloride! My balm is soothing and invigorating at the same time (cayenne’s heat and menthol’s cool together) and I use it on all my clients during our massage therapy sessions.
