That ALL Day Deep Tissue Magnesium/MSM Lotion - Deep Rooted Pain
Regular price
$31.77
Reduce mucus and inflammation...
MSM improved physical-function scores against placebo in a 12-week randomized trial, and magnesium chloride applied to the limbs twice daily for four weeks improved daily-function scores. Both are in this jar, under the heaviest oil blend we make.
For adults with a stubborn tight spot. The strongest blend in the line. One 3 oz jar.
- Zechstein Magnesium
- MSM
- Organic Shea Butter
- Lab Tested Hemp Seed Oil
- Small Batch
- No Fillers
- No Synthetic Fragrance
- No Parabens
- No Synthetic Emulsifiers
Why people use it
- The strongest blend we make. Same base, heaviest essential-oil load. A pea-sized amount on one small area first, then wait a day before you spread it wider.
- Soothes tired muscles. A four-week study of magnesium chloride applied to the arms and legs twice daily improved daily-function scores. That's magnesium chloride on skin, which is what's in this jar.
- MSM for everyday comfort. In a 12-week randomized placebo-controlled trial, MSM improved physical-function scores against placebo. See the research drop-down.
- Where people put it. Anywhere that feels tight or knotted, after stretching or a foam roller, at the end of a working day.
- Moisturizes while it works. Organic shea butter and hemp seed oil, so a heavy oil blend doesn't leave skin dry behind it.
What's in the jar
Same base in every jar in the line. Only the essential oil blend changes.
| Ingredient | Why it's in the jar |
|---|---|
| Organic shea butter | The body of the lotion. It's what makes skin still feel soft an hour later. |
| Lab-tested hemp seed oil | 50 to 70 percent linoleic acid. Plant oils high in linoleic acid are studied for skin-barrier comfort. It also keeps the lotion from sitting on top of the skin. |
| Genuine Zechstein magnesium chloride | The magnesium. Bischofite, solution-mined from a 250-million-year-old Permian salt bed under the Netherlands, not built as a synthetic salt. The label lists ~280 mg of magnesium per teaspoon of lotion; that is magnesium in the jar, not an absorbed dose. Magnesium is bound by 3,751 human proteins (the human magnesome), which is why it's the base of every jar. |
| Deuterium-depleted distilled water | The water phase, and the carrier for the magnesium chloride. The deuterium-depletion step is Josh's own preference, not a claim about your skin. |
| MSM (methylsulfonylmethane) | An organosulfur compound. It's in the jar for skin comfort and for the sulfur it carries. |
| White/yellow beeswax | Holds the butter and water phases together and gives the lotion its set, without a synthetic emulsifier. |
| Essential oil blend | The heaviest oil load in the line. It's a strong jar, so start slow. The oils aren't listed on this page yet. |
Count capsules as your magnesium number.
How to use
- Anywhere that feels tight or sore. Start with a pea-sized amount on one small area and wait a day before spreading it wider.
- Start with a thin layer, a teaspoon or less. A little goes a long way.
- Chest for the scent, bottoms of the feet when you want it on more skin. Thighs and forearms are the next spots people reach for. That's how people use it, not an absorption ranking.
- Patch test a small area and give it 24 hours before you make it a daily habit.
- If the jar separates, sit it in a bowl of hot water about 20 minutes, then remix with a milk frother. Repeat if it's still firm.
- Keep it cool and dry, out of a bathroom that swings hot and cold. Use within 12 months of opening.
- Pregnancy: we point people to Zanex Swap or Sleep Zzz. Under age 2: those two only, in very small amounts.
Sourcing & making
Every jar in this line is the same base: organic shea butter, lab-tested hemp seed oil, genuine Zechstein magnesium chloride, deuterium-depleted distilled water, MSM, and beeswax. The magnesium is bischofite, solution-mined from a Permian salt bed roughly 1,600 meters under the Netherlands, not built as a synthetic salt. Beeswax holds the water and butter phases together, so there is no synthetic emulsifier in it. Blended in small batches and poured into a 3 oz jar when you order.

Who it's for — and who it isn't
Good fit for:
- Adults with a nagging tight spot that a milder jar hasn't touched
- Anyone who wants magnesium on skin as part of the routine, with capsules doing the real number
- Practitioners who want a clean topical to hand a patient: seven ingredients, no fillers, no synthetic fragrance
Probably not for you if:
- You react to fragrance or specific botanicals. Email us and we'll tell you exactly which oils are in this blend.
- You're avoiding bee products, shea, or hemp.
- You're counting on a lotion to replace oral magnesium. It won't. Count capsules.
Testing & quality

The research behind the ingredients
Published research on the ingredients in this product, for education. These studies were not conducted on this product.
Genuine Zechstein Magnesium Chloride (transdermal magnesium)
Transdermal magnesium chloride feasibility study, 2015
Journal of Integrative Medicine · 2015 · cohort · n=40 enrolled, 24 completed
In a four-week single-arm feasibility study of 40 women with fibromyalgia (24 completed), magnesium chloride spray applied to the arms and legs twice daily improved Revised Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire subscale and total scores at weeks 2 and 4 (total score P=0.001).
MSM (methylsulfonylmethane)
MSM knee comfort randomized trial, 2011
BMC Complementary and Alternative Medicine · 2011 · RCT · n=49
In a 12-week double-blind, placebo-controlled randomized trial of 49 adults with knee osteoarthritis, 3.375 g/day of oral MSM improved WOMAC physical-function and total scores versus placebo, although the authors described the improvements as small.
Genuine Zechstein Magnesium Chloride (transdermal magnesium)
Effect of transdermal magnesium cream on serum and urinary magnesium levels in humans: A pilot study
PLOS ONE · 2017 · RCT · n=25 enrolled, 24 completed
In a single-blind, parallel-group pilot trial of 25 adults, applying a magnesium cream supplying 56 mg of magnesium daily for two weeks raised serum magnesium by 8.54% versus 2.6% with placebo, reaching statistical significance only in the non-athlete subgroup.
Evidence note: The most relevant human data here is about comfort and movement: a randomized placebo-controlled trial of 49 adults found MSM improved knee osteoarthritis pain and function scores, and a single-arm feasibility study of transdermal magnesium chloride in fibromyalgia patients recorded improvement in quality-of-life measures. The absorption side rests on a 25-person cream pilot showing an 8.54% serum rise versus 2.6% for placebo, with its authors calling for larger trials to settle the transdermal dose question. The essential oils in this blend are proprietary, so a controlled trial of this cream as sold is the study that would tie all three strands to the product.
FAQ
How is this different from Recovery?
Same base. Deep Tissue carries a stronger essential-oil load, which is why the page tells you to start slow. If Recovery feels mild for you, this is the next step up.
How much should I start with?
A pea-sized amount on one small area, then wait a day. Concentrated oil blends are more likely to sensitize skin, and essential oils are a recognized cause of allergic contact dermatitis.
How much magnesium gets through skin?
Research is still catching up. One pilot trial saw serum magnesium rise after two weeks of a magnesium cream; a 2017 review called for bigger studies. People use it for how it feels on tired muscles and skin; we count capsules as the reliable magnesium number.
Why did my jar separate?
No fillers and no heavy emulsifier, so the water and butter phases drift apart, faster in a warm bathroom. Sit the jar in hot water about 20 minutes, then remix with a milk frother. Repeat if it's still firm. Nothing is wrong with it.
Can kids use it? What about pregnancy?
Josh's family uses these on adults and older kids, and uses only the Zanex Swap or Sleep Zzz blends, in small amounts, for under-2s and in pregnancy. That's house practice, not a safety clearance.
Pairs well with
- Recovery Lotion — the milder original, if this one is too much
- BOMB Bath Salts — magnesium in the tub after a heavy day
- Magnesium Bis-Glycinate — the evening capsules that carry your real magnesium number
Cautions
- For external use only. Keep it away from the eyes and mucous membranes, and off broken or freshly shaved skin, where magnesium chloride commonly stings.
- Store cool and dry, out of a steamy bathroom. Separation is normal in a filler-free lotion; rewarm and remix rather than assuming it spoiled. Use within 12 months of opening.
Lab Tested
Every product. COA on request, ~2 weeks.
