How To Add Magnesium Into Your Cosmetic Products For Muscle Relief

Lately, ever since I started working out; I've been seeing a lot of magnesium based products that's used for muscle sprain, muscle relief etc.

I've tried purchasing them but OMG its so costly!

So because of that; I never tried it. it wasn't until my ACL surgery and when I had complication that I really started using magnesium cream (was given by my orthopaedic surgeon)

For me; it's a hit and miss. sometimes it helps, and sometimes it doesn't. But for sure it does relief my cramps; not so much of the pain etc.

So when a client of Soaplab asked me to research more about magnesium in skincare; I was so excited about it especially when I found out how it helps in so many different purpose (not muscle only!)

Now there are different kind of magnesium in the market. Magnesium Glycinate (more for consuming0, Magnesium Citrate, Magnesium Malate, Magnesium Chloride and Epsom Salt ( Magnesium Sulfate).

Now for the purpose of making a product (for applying) we usually use mg Chloride or Mg Sulfate.

Here I'll be showing you few products that can be made with magnesium including the recipes on how to make it. 

Im using the lowest min amount of magnesium for it to be effective but you can always add more magnesium to these recipes. however; it's best to taper up slowly as it can cause irritation.
