Highly Bioavailable Transdermal Magnesium
Our Magnesium Balm is made with magnesium chloride hexahydrate, extracted from the Zechstein seabed. Each 60 ml jar provides approximately 3,700 mg of elemental magnesium.
Magnesium chloride on its own can be very drying. That is why we paired it with our skin-nourishing tallow, allowing you to get the magnesium you need while keeping your skin moisturized.
Unlike some oral supplements that can cause gut irritation, applying our balm directly to the skin allows the magnesium to enter the bloodstream directly, bypassing the digestive system entirely. For optimal results—and to help support better sleep—apply it to your hands, legs, or especially the bottoms of your feet.
This balm is unscented, unadulterated and pure — just like your skin. Unscented means no added fragrance, not no smell: expect a mild, buttery scent that fades a few minutes after you apply it.
Many creams and lotions on the market are made with ingredients that sit on the surface of the skin, only to temporarily hydrate while actually depleting the skin of it's natural moisture and creating imbalances that can lead to dependency. Our balms work differently. We use 100% grass fed Canadian beef tallow which is very similar to our skin's biology. Our balms absorb fully and deeply, leaving your skin hydrated, nourished and balanced. Zero water, fillers, chemicals or synthetics are used in our balms.
Our tallow is pesticide free, GMO free, and chemical free.
What "unscented" means here
No perfume, no essential oils, no masking agents — nothing added to scent it. What's left is the tallow itself.
Scent profile: earthy, buttery, mild. Fades on application.

Ingredients
Organic grass-fed/finished beef tallow is the key ingredient of this luxurious cream. Beef tallow contains fat-soluble vitamins that revitalize the skin.
Canadian beef tallow skincare properties:
- Contains naturally occurring retinol (bioavailable vitamin A).
- High in nourishing fatty acids such as Conjugated Linoleic Acid (CLA), which has anti-inflammatory properties, Arachidonic Acid (AA), Oleic Acid, Palmitic Acid, Alpha Linolenic Acid (ALA), and Stearic Acid.
- Stearic acid helps the skin stay flexible and youthful.
- High in fat-soluble vitamins A, B, D, E, K, omegas, and fatty acids, all of which are highly bioabsorbable.
- Contains palmitoleic acid, which has antimicrobial properties.
Magnesium Chloride Hexahydrate: High quality magnesium flakes from the Zechstein seabed. Provides substantial magnesium, known for its relaxation properties.
Cold-pressed castor oil: a moisturizing and non-comedogenic oil (absorbs into the skin without blocking pores) that has been used in natural cosmetics for thousands of years, dating back to ancient Egypt.
What Makes Our Balm Stand Out
Magnesium Balm is made with 3 powerful ingredients. Simplicity is key. These ingredients can soothe muscles, promote a good night's sleep and calm the body and mind.
We render our own tallow. This is the key to our magic formula. Our tallow is rendered by us, by hand and triple filtered to remove impurities and keep the natural odour of the fat to a minimum. We use suet from Ontario cattle that is grass fed. The process of just rendering the suet takes over 5 hours.
We hand blend our tallow to perfection and jar it ourselves.
Why Tallow Instead of Plant Based Products?
Tallow is a whole food skin product and it is edible (although our products are for external use only). It is a healthy fat high in several fatty acids, can be used as a healthy fat to cook food and has a high heat point. Your skin recognizes this fat and utilizes it immediately on a cellular level. While we love plants, we believe plant based skincare is simply not sufficient. Many plant based products are highly processed and denatured. Plant-based products can sit on the skin unabsorbed, can dry out the skin, can lead to imbalances or simply do nothing for the skin. Plant bases are usually much cheaper to use which is a big reason why they are ubiquitous amongst skincare.
How to use: Apply to the bottoms of the feet, hands, or legs at bedtime or during the day as needed. Avoid applying to the face or sensitive areas, as magnesium brine may cause a mild stinging sensation for some individuals.
Getting the most from your jar
- Air it out. When your jar arrives, take the lid off and let it breathe for 5–10 minutes.
- Patch test. Start with a small amount somewhere less sensitive — the back of your hand is ideal.
- Go small. Tallow is concentrated; more isn't better.
- Give it 10–15 minutes. That's when it stops sitting on your skin and starts working.
Before using any new skincare product, do a patch test: apply a small amount of the product to the skin and leave it on to see how your body responds.
