Soy-free magnesium topical?

[lotus_03]

Hi there, does anyone have any recommendations for magnesium lotions that are free of soy-based ingredients?

I attempted to use this lotion, but since I am sensitive to soy, it appears that it is causing symptoms (loose stools) for me:

I did try rubbing the lotion on my abdomen, so maybe that is why I’m reacting so much. But I would rather use a soy-free lotion to avoid any issues now.

Has anyone else experienced this issue with soy-based magnesium lotions/topicals?

Thank you!

Leena, I use Life Flo brand magnesium lotions and oils. There's also Ancient Minerals magnesium oil - don't know if they have magnesium lotion.

Thank you John! I think I‘ll give the oils a try since they keep the ingredients much more basic.

you can make your own

buy magnesium chloride in bulk (it is like course salt) , mix it into warm water, then pour this into jar / spray bottle
you can add your own moisturiser like coconut oil if you wish

When I do foot soaks, I use Magnesium chloride and coconut oil in the hot water

Hi Gabes, thank you for the info! This is really helpful.

Now that I had this reaction, I’m wondering how I should approach any topicals moving forward. Should I stick to only applying it to my hands and feet?

Magnesium oil can make some skins tingle a bit

by making your own, you can make a milder dose that you can use on thin skin areas

To resolve my magnesium deficiency I had the magnesium oil in the toilet, I would spray the top of my legs and stomach each time I went to the toilet

I also have a small bottle at work and spray my neck when it is tight or I have a headache etc
