I make a lot of magnesium based products and love making lotion! I've never thought about making it extra strength before. I'll have to give this recipe a try. The tingling sensation means that your body is low in magnesium. This tingling will go away as your magnesium level is restored.
I was told by a Doctor that the Tingling feeling means it's being absorbed by the skin. This looks like something I would love to make with some other pain relieving butters and EOs to make a pain relieving powerhouse for myself.
Be sure to use it on your shoulders and neck as well! I have similar arm pain and it comes from neck and shoulder tightness. Mg has helped in all of those places!
Just out of curiosity, why did you make it double strength only to turn around and immediately dilute it? Didn't that make it a regular strength? You didn't give the measurements of the dilution.
I was recently diagnosed with Lupus and I am hoping that this will help some with the muscle and joint pain I have. Thank you sooooooooooooooo much for sharing and for the amount of research you have put into this!!!
Arnica is wonderful in healing bruises, very decent anti inflammatory. Grape seed oil is not a good choice. I think you would be better with almond oil, and it's very well absorbed by the skin. Or I would choose coconut oil, along with shea butter, which is also great for the skin.
I chose grapeseed oil for this formula because it can help to nourish and moisturize skin, reduce inflammation, and protect against environmental stressors. Furthermore, grapeseed oil has been shown to have antimicrobial, antioxidant, and antibacterial properties. almond oil and coconut oil have great properties as well. This formula does contain shea butter.
@@SunshineSoapandCandleCompany I do love sharing information with friends and others searching for answers, and appreciate us sharing our ideas! Magnesium is desperately needed by our bodies, because of the environment, and what has been done to our soil and waters! About grape seed oil, I am not sure about its properties used in soap and how it effects skin; I do know its considered to be unhealthy when used for cooking as its molecules break down too easily under heat. If I don't wish to eat it, I considered perhaps there is a carry over property regarding cosmetic uses. At the moment I am planning to make my own formulation for magnesium butter, and I am grateful for your input regarding grape seed oil. I do love the smell of almond oil, and it makes my skin feel great! :) I also agree about the use of shea butter, but was thinking about the many formulae I have come across that combine it with coconut oil. (Probably they started combining them historically for skin and hair because they were often both easily available in hot climates.) Thanks again for sharing your thoughts, all the best. Len
Want to leave this here......if magnisium is prickly or itchy it means you are extremely Magnesium deficient. I dont know why makers dont say that part.
If you made the Mag Oil "regular strength", you could use it in direct replacement for water in any lotion/butter recipe without getting that burning - that's what I've seen everywhere. If you have to dilute the double strength with additional distilled water to make it work, it seems like you've reversed the purpose of using double-strength?
I have found magnesium oil as a direct replacement for water has two problems, it can make the emulsion break as the electrolytes are too high and it has a sticky, weird coating on the skin. This formula doesn’t seem to have that feeling and it doesn’t tingle. But it may tingle a bit on other people and that is also very normal with magnesium.
Just a question, I'm confused that you made extra strength magnesium oil but then you added water , wouldn't that be the same as adding regular strength magnesium oil?
@@janicecohoon9674 Hi, making the magnesium double strength just gives the cream an overall higher percentage of magnesium. You can make the magnesium oil regular strength but then the actual amount of magnesium will be smaller in your finished product.
Love this and am so glad I came across your channel/videos! Question: how can I incorporate magnesium in herbal infused perfume roller oils? I like the idea of my oils being used for multiple health benefiting things whilst the fragrance remains long lasting.
Thank you! Magnesium oil is actually not an oil it is water and magnesium making it a water soluble product. So I’m not sure how this would work in a perfume you could formulate something with magnesium oil, fragrance, oil and polysorbate 80
I joined your Patreon and tried to make this recipe but had trouble with it. I followed the instructions, exactly, and at first after blending the water and oil phases together it wasn’t really thickening much at all. I kept blending it after adding the preservative then it finally started thickening. After that though it quickly started doing something similar to ricing in CP soap where it’s got a funny sort of lumpy texture and oils floating on top. I was able to stir the oils back in but when letting it sit they would float back up. I don’t know what I did wrong. Any advice?
It sounds like you never got a stable emulsion. This can be tricky with magnesium oil. Make sure to blend very thoroughly and wait to add the cool down ingredients until the formula has thickened some and you have a good stable emulsion. Also make sure you are not exceeding the amount of magnesium oil listed in the formula as too much magnesium will break down the emulsion.
I have read and heard people say that the reason why it may tingle is because you maybe lacking magnesium. The more you lack, the more it tingles. But will go away.

DId you have any issues in these containers? It was my understanding that magnesium causes a ton of rust and to avoid metal at all costs... so just curious!
I have not had any issues with rust. These containers are food grade and rust proof. I don't think I would store this cream in mason jar with metal lid though. That could be problematic!
@@SunshineSoapandCandleCompany I made the body cream recipe from patreon. It's great. Any way to estimate the percentage of magnesium in there so a relatively close number?
@@barbarajoybuchanan2799 if you make a brine with magnesium flakes (flakes + water= magnesium “oil”) then blend it with a fat, you’ll need a preservative to prevent mold due to the water in the brine

You can also rub in a little olive oil on top which will take away the tingling and let the magnesium absorb slower
i'm so glad you said something about not using the entire water phase with the mag. oil... I've done a 70/30 split of mag oil and water

I am so thankful for this video. My mom has been experiencing very bad leg pain, and I'm going to make this for her. Keep shining!! 😊
Keep me posted!
I love that you're wearing a Well Your World t-shirt! Thanks for sharing about magnesium oil and body butter.
You are welcome! I absolutely get such a kick out of WYW t-shirts!
Want to leave this here......if magnisium is prickly or itchy it means you are extremely Magnesium deficient. I dont know why makers dont say that part.
Because that's not actually true, sorry to say. Dermatologists say it is because of the pH of magnesium oil (brine) is not compatible for pH of skin.

I’m assuming I could sub jojoba infused arnica oil for the grapeseed? Figuring they roughly similar viscosity?
Hi there, yes you can.
Hi, did you check the PH of this cream?
Whatever you understand, we like it very much, but we want you to tell every formula, tell the whole recipe, what things you put in how many grams.

Hi, would this cream be pipeable? And leave a nice swirl shape in a jar?

The $7 tier because you get all recipes as well as bonus recipes
Once you join the $7 a month membership, will we see the older recipes, like the magnesium lotion that you are sharing and new recipes?
Would bees wax work?
Can I make this without using the preserving agent?
This particular formula does need preservative because it has oil and water and without a preservative it will grow bacteria.
@@SunshineSoapandCandleCompany what does that look like ?
Would this easily go in a pump dispenser do you think?
Does this burn or tingle on the skin? That's my experience with purchased Mag Oil Spray. Thus, why I'm here :)
No, that is the beauty of the cream. The emulsified oils and water in this cream dampen down that tingling, itchy sensation

Yes
For which part?.Thanks.
@@barbarajoybuchanan2799 if you make a brine with magnesium flakes (flakes + water= magnesium “oil”) then blend it with a fat, you’ll need a preservative to prevent mold due to the water in the brine
some formulators use a ratio of 50/50 water/magnesium
could you add cbd isolate to this formula as well?
Yes and you and I think alike stay tuned
Can't wait!! yay!@@SunshineSoapandCandleCompany
My dad and grandpa swear by magnesium oil, yes it's tingly but they don't care.
Yes, the tingling sensation is not a bad thing in this case
