At a glance

Insufficient

evidence for magnesium on the skin (oils, sprays, flakes, lotions)

Our honest take

A magnesium chloride 'oil' (a strong salt solution) to spray on the skin. There is little good evidence that a useful amount of magnesium passes through the skin, so this is not a reliable way to raise your magnesium; food or an oral supplement is the route with evidence behind it. These sprays often tingle or sting and can leave a sticky feel, so try a small area first.

The science

Magnesium on the skin (oils, sprays, flakes, lotions)· evidence: Insufficient

Magnesium sprays, oils, lotions and bath flakes are usually magnesium chloride (or sulfate) in water. They are sold on the idea that magnesium soaks in through the skin. Reviews of the research have found very little good evidence that a meaningful amount does: the skin is a strong barrier, and the few small studies are poor quality and inconsistent.

A warm bath or a massage may feel good in its own right, but if you want to raise your magnesium intake, magnesium from food or an oral supplement is the route with evidence behind it. Claims about sleep, muscles, joints or stress for these products are not authorised.

Typical dose: No established dose. Use as directed on the pack.

Safety: Magnesium chloride sprays often tingle or sting, especially on freshly shaved or broken skin; rinse off if irritation persists. Do not swallow. Keep away from eyes.
