Explore magnesium across mineral liquids, oral formulas and skin and bath rituals. Understand chloride, sulphate and bisglycinate, and find the right product information for each format.
Shown: magnesium chloride flakes and brine. Magnesium oil is this water-based brine. It does not contain a plant oil.
Magnesium is a mineral, represented by the symbol Mg. It plays a part in normal muscle and nerve function and in making proteins and bone. Foods including nuts, seeds, beans and whole grains contribute magnesium to the diet.
Across our range, the name appears in several different settings: a magnesium chloride spray, mineral water preparations, a bisglycinate liquid, combined formulas and bath products. This guide helps you understand those names and choose by the full formula and intended use.

Chloride, sulphate and bisglycinate explained
The word after magnesium identifies the compound. Magnesium chloride is the salt used in our brine spray. Magnesium sulphate is the Epsom salt named in our scrub and bath soak. Magnesium bisglycinate is the form named in our liposomal liquid.
These terms describe ingredients, while spray, soap, concentrate and supplement describe finished products. Both pieces of information matter. An ingredient used in one formulation does not make every product containing it suitable for the same purpose.
“Liposomal” refers to a formulation approach involving phospholipids. It does not state the amount of magnesium in a serving. Likewise, “colloidal” is not another name for magnesium chloride brine: our colloidal listing names magnesium and steam-distilled water.

A water-based Zechstein magnesium chloride brine for external application. The word oil describes its feel; the ingredient listing does not name a plant oil. Follow the spray label and avoid eyes and broken skin.
A cold-process coconut-oil soap made with colloidal magnesium and magnesium chloride. Bergamot, peppermint and black pepper provide its fresh scent. Use it as a cleansing bar and rinse away the lather.
A 250 g body polish combining Epsom salt, cane and coconut sugars, apricot kernel oil and fractionated coconut oil. Peppermint and rosemary give it a herbal aroma. The grains provide physical exfoliation; rinse thoroughly after use.
A 1 kg blend of Epsom salt, Celtic sea salt, sodium bicarbonate and bentonite clay, scented with bergamot, jasmine and frankincense. A scoop is included. The listing suggests approximately 150 g in a warm bath. For external use only.
The listing describes elemental magnesium dispersed in steam-distilled water at a stated 20 PPM. Supplied in 500 ml and 1 litre amber glass bottles, with no added salts or preservatives. Use the directions printed on its own label.
A liquid formula using magnesium bisglycinate, a form bound to glycine. Check the current bottle for elemental magnesium per serving and the measured serving volume; the description does not provide a full nutrient panel.
A combined electrolyte concentrate listing sodium, potassium and magnesium. Follow its own dilution instructions. A concentrate should not be treated as a ready-to-drink mineral liquid.
A combined formula listing magnesium alongside B6, zinc, 5-HTP and botanicals. Read the complete ingredient panel and suitability information, especially when taking medication. Its other ingredients matter as much as the magnesium.
A fermented live-culture formula listing marine magnesium oxide among its herbs and minerals. The ingredient mention does not establish how much magnesium a serving supplies; check the current product label.
A fermented liquid culture with a broad mix of herbs, juices and minerals, including marine magnesium oxide. Compare the complete formula and directions rather than using it interchangeably with a dedicated magnesium supplement.
Mag Phos No. 8 is the magnesium phosphate preparation in the Schuessler tissue salt range. It belongs to a distinct traditional preparation system. Its name or potency should not be read as a nutritional magnesium amount or used to replace a declared milligram serving.
For an oral supplement, look for the elemental magnesium amount per recommended serving. This is different from the total weight of a magnesium compound. Read the serving size alongside the nutrient figure rather than comparing a large number on its own.
For liquids, millilitres measure volume. PPM describes concentration. A larger bottle gives you more liquid; it does not automatically give more magnesium in each millilitre. For body products, the net weight describes the whole formula, including salts, oils and other ingredients.
A skin or bath product does not provide a labelled dietary serving. Do not count sprays or bath salts towards a nutritional magnesium intake. Similarly, a mineral mentioned within a fermented formula does not establish a quantified contribution without its nutrient panel.
Our Celtic sea salt also lists a typical naturally occurring magnesium content. It is a culinary salt, rather than a dedicated magnesium supplement. Its composition should not be confused with a supplement serving.
Using and storing each format
Keep dry bath products tightly closed and use a clean, dry scoop. Avoid introducing water into scrub jars. Oils in body scrubs can make the shower or bath slippery, so rinse surfaces after use.
For topical products, follow the label, avoid eyes and broken or irritated skin, and discontinue if irritation occurs. A skin sensation is not a measurement of magnesium status.
Store Colloidal Magnesium securely closed in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight; its listing says not to refrigerate or freeze it. Follow the separate storage instructions for oral liquids and fermented products.
Check for overlapping magnesium in oral supplements. Higher supplemental intakes can cause digestive upset, and magnesium can interact with some medicines. Ask a pharmacist or qualified clinician about suitability when taking medication.

Magnesium questions answered
Is magnesium oil a plant oil?
No. Our Magnesium Oil Spray lists Zechstein magnesium chloride brine. It is water-based; oil describes its feel.
Are Epsom salts the same as magnesium chloride?
No. Epsom salt is magnesium sulphate. The spray uses magnesium chloride, a different compound.
Which products in this range are for external use?
Magnesium Oil Spray, Magnesium Mineral Soap Bar, Relaxing Magnesium Body Scrub and Mineral Bath Soak are skin or bath formats. Follow each product’s label.
Does 20 PPM mean 20 mg per serving?
No. PPM is a concentration measure. A serving amount requires a defined volume and the corresponding magnesium quantity.
Is Mag Phos equivalent to a magnesium supplement?
No. Mag Phos belongs to the Schuessler tissue salt system. Its preparation and labelling should not be treated as a declared nutritional magnesium dose.
Can I use the same directions for every magnesium product?
No. Sprays, soaps, bath products, concentrates and oral formulas have different ingredients and uses. Follow the current label for the particular product.
For complete ingredients, allergens, suitability and directions, read the current product label. A guide to one ingredient does not describe every possible effect of the finished preparation.
