Magnesium Sources
-
Pure Magnesium Chloride Flakes: These are highly concentrated salts of magnesium. When dissolved, they provide the primary "dose" of magnesium. Topical application allows the mineral to bypass the digestive system, potentially offering faster relief for muscle cramps and promoting relaxation.
-
Pure Magnesium Oil: Despite the name, this is actually a concentrated solution of magnesium chloride in water. It has an oily texture that helps the formula glide onto the skin and ensures a high level of elemental magnesium is available for transdermal absorption.
Carrier Fats & Oils
-
Pure Grass-Fed, Grass-Finished Tallow: Tallow is biologically compatible with human skin oils (sebum), making it an incredible "delivery vehicle." It helps pull the magnesium deeper into the dermal layers rather than letting it sit on the surface. It is also rich in vitamins A, D, K, and E.
-
Organic Almond Oil: This is a lightweight emollient that helps thin out the thicker tallow. It provides a smooth "slip" for massaging the butter into sore muscles and contains fatty acids that soothe skin irritation—which is helpful since magnesium can sometimes cause a slight tingle.
-
Emu Oil: Known as one of the most penetrative oils in existence, Emu oil acts as a powerful transdermal carrier. It can travel through all seven layers of the skin, bringing the magnesium and other active ingredients along with it for more effective relief.
Active Enhancers
-
Organic Vitamin D3: Vitamin D and Magnesium are biological partners; magnesium is actually required for the body to activate and utilize Vitamin D. Including it in a topical balm provides a synergistic approach to supporting bone and muscle health. Restless Leg Syndrome (RLS) is closely linked to a dysfunction in the brain’s dopamine signaling. Vitamin D is a neurosteroid that helps regulate the enzyme responsible for converting tyrosine into dopamine. The Link: Low levels of Vitamin D can lead to lower dopamine levels, which often results in the involuntary leg movements and sensory discomfort associated with RLS.The Benefit: Maintaining adequate Vitamin D levels helps stabilize dopamine production, potentially calming the nervous system's "misfires" in the legs.
-
Hyaluronic Acid: While usually known for facial skincare, in a body balm, it acts as a humectant. It draws moisture into the skin, keeping the area hydrated and plump, which can help soothe the skin and reduce the potential drying effect of magnesium salts.
Quick Tip: Because this formula is so rich in tallow and Emu oil, you’ll find that a small amount goes a long way. If the skin feels "sticky" after application, it’s usually a sign that the magnesium is still absorbing—massaging it in for an extra minute typically helps it settle.

INSTRUCTIONS
Here are some basic instructions on how to apply tallow-infused magnesium butter to your skin:
1. Start with a small amount. A little goes a long way with tallow butter. Because it is so rich, over-applying can leave your skin feeling too oily. Begin with a small, pea-sized amount and add more if needed. Your skin should absorb the butter within 30 minutes, leaving it feeling soft and moisturized, not greasy.
2. Apply to clean skin. For best absorption, apply the butter to clean skin. Many people find it effective to use after a shower or bath when their skin is still slightly damp.
3. Choose your application area. You can apply the butter to any part of your body that needs moisture or where you want to absorb the magnesium. Common areas include:
-
Bottom of the feet: This is a popular spot for magnesium absorption, especially for those seeking better sleep.
-
Sore muscles and joints: Gently massage the butter into areas of muscle tension or discomfort.
-
Legs and calves: Can be used to help with restless legs.
4. Massage gently. Using your fingertips, gently massage the butter into your skin using a circular motion until it is fully absorbed.
5. Avoid sensitive areas. Avoid applying the butter to freshly shaven skin, open cuts, or irritated areas, as the magnesium salts may cause a stinging sensation. Always do a patch test before using the product on a larger area of your skin, especially if you have sensitive skin.
Tips and Considerations:
-
Consistency is key: For best results, consider making it a part of your daily routine, such as applying it before bed.
-
Natural variations: Because tallow is a natural product, the color, scent, and texture may vary slightly between batches.
-
Storage: Store the product in a cool, dry place. The consistency may change in warmer temperatures. If it becomes too liquid, you can try chilling it to firm it up.
-
Non-comedogenic (often): High-quality tallow is generally considered non-comedogenic, meaning it is not likely to clog pores. However, if you have acne-prone skin, be careful not to over-apply.
Do not put on directly after shaving - it will give a burning sensation.
-
WARNING
-
Allergies: Though rare, some individuals with allergies or sensitivities to beef or animal fats may experience a reaction, such as redness, itching, or a rash. Always perform a patch test on a small, inconspicuous area of your skin before applying the product more widely.
-
Comedogenic Potential: While many people find tallow to be non-comedogenic (not likely to clog pores), its rich, occlusive nature can potentially trap dead skin cells and bacteria, which could lead to breakouts, especially for those with very oily or acne-prone skin. Use it sparingly on the face, and consult a dermatologist if you are prone to acne.
-
Consistency: Tallow is temperature-sensitive. It may become liquid in warmer temperatures and can develop a grainy texture, which is a natural occurrence and does not affect the product's effectiveness
Magnesium-Specific Warnings & Disclaimers
-
Stinging or Tingling Sensation: A slight stinging, tingling, or itching sensation is a common and normal reaction, especially upon initial use. This is often attributed to the high concentration of magnesium and may be more pronounced on sensitive, broken, or freshly shaved skin. To reduce this, you can dilute the butter with another carrier oil or apply it to less sensitive areas like the bottoms of your feet. The sensation usually subsides with continued use.
-
Skin Irritation: In some cases, the magnesium salts can cause skin irritation, redness, or dryness. If this occurs, discontinue use or try a smaller amount.
-
Avoid Sensitive Areas: Do not apply the butter to open wounds, cuts, or irritated skin, as this can cause significant stinging and discomfort. Also, avoid contact with the eyes and other mucous membranes.
-
Medical Conditions: If you have kidney disease or other medical conditions that affect your body's ability to process minerals, consult with a healthcare professional before using topical magnesium products.
General Disclaimers
-
Not FDA-Regulated: Tallow magnesium butter is a cosmetic product and is not regulated by the FDA. The benefits and claims are often anecdotal and not backed by extensive clinical research.
-
Consult a Professional: Always consult with a doctor or dermatologist before trying a new product, especially if you have a pre-existing skin condition or other health concerns.
