Is Magnesium Absorbed Through Your Skin? An Honest Answer
We make magnesium bath bombs, so people ask me this a lot: does your skin really soak up magnesium in the bath? I'd rather give you an honest answer than a sales pitch.
What Do We Know?
Scientists have studied this, and the results are mixed. Some small studies suggest a little magnesium may get through the skin. Others found very little. Right now, there isn't strong proof either way.
So I won't promise you that a bath will fix a magnesium shortage. If you think you're low on magnesium, talk to your doctor.
So Why Do We Love Magnesium Baths?
Because a warm bath with magnesium just feels good. Here's what you can count on:
- Warm water helps you relax. It eases tight, tired muscles.
- It gives you quiet time. Twenty minutes to yourself is good for anyone.
- Your skin feels soft. Our bath bombs are made with coconut milk, too.
Our Magnesium Bath Bombs
Our Melt Away Stress Magnesium Bath Bombs are made with magnesium and coconut milk. They come in lots of scents, like Vanilla Bean, Eucalyptus Mint and Orange Patchouli.
How to Use One
- Fill your tub with warm water, not too hot.
- Drop in one bath bomb and let it fizz.
- Soak for 15 to 20 minutes.
- Rinse off and moisturize.
Safety First
If you're pregnant, have a heart or kidney condition, or take medicine, check with your doctor before using bath products with magnesium. Get out of the tub slowly. Warm water can make you a little lightheaded.
Our Tip
Take your bath an hour before bed. It's a great way to wind down for a good night's sleep.
