This lotion uses transdermal delivery, meaning magnesium is absorbed through the skin directly into the underlying tissue and bloodstream. Each full pump provides 20mg of elemental magnesium from Genuine Zechstein magnesium chloride. Because it bypasses the digestive system, transdermal magnesium is a practical option for people who experience digestive sensitivity with oral magnesium supplements.

Genuine Zechstein magnesium chloride is sourced from an ancient underground seabed in the Netherlands, considered one of the purest and most pristine sources of magnesium on the planet. The deposit has been sealed underground for over 250 million years, protecting it from modern environmental contamination. Ancient Minerals uses this source specifically because of its exceptional purity and bioavailability.

OptiMSM is a pharmaceutical-grade form of methylsulfonylmethane, which is a bioavailable source of elemental sulfur. Sulfur is essential for maintaining connective tissue, supporting joint mobility, aiding muscle recovery, and facilitating cellular detoxification. Each pump of Ancient Mineral Magnesium Lotion Ultra delivers 60mg of OptiMSM, complementing the magnesium to support both recovery and structural tissue health.

Magnesium plays a documented role in regulating the nervous system and the neurotransmitters that influence sleep onset and quality. By calming overactive nerve activity and supporting muscle relaxation, regular use of this lotion, especially in the evening, may help your body transition into a more restful state. It is not a sleep aid, but restoring magnesium levels through the skin is a well-regarded strategy for supporting natural sleep cycles.

This lotion is fragrance-free and formulated with skin-compatible emollients including certified organic shea butter, apricot kernel oil, and sweet almond oil, which tend to be well tolerated by sensitive skin types. That said, it is designed for use on the body only and should not be applied to the face, freshly shaved skin, or any sensitive or broken areas. If you have reactive skin, start with a small area to assess tolerance.

Yes. The formula includes hydrolyzed hyaluronic acid, glycerin, squalane, and a blend of certified organic plant oils and butters that make it effective as a daily body moisturizer. It absorbs without leaving a waxy or greasy residue, so it works well morning or night. The functional benefits of magnesium and OptiMSM are an added layer on top of the hydration it provides.

Traditional magnesium sprays and oils apply concentrated magnesium chloride directly to the skin, which can cause a tingling or stinging sensation and often leave a sticky residue. Ancient Mineral Magnesium Lotion Ultra delivers the same Genuine Zechstein magnesium chloride in a lotion base enriched with emollients, plant oils, and hydrolyzed hyaluronic acid, making it more comfortable to apply, especially for daily use over larger body areas.
