Magnesium - Everyone wants it, especially now. How to add it to your product or service offering

October 25, 2020

Magnesium "oil" has been creating a lot of buzz in the last few years. The word on the street is that it's one of those cure all, rescue all, miracle workers. People young and old, in the know, have been flocking to their nearest pharmacy, beauty shop and swiping of the shelves anything that has the word "magnesium" on it! Pop a pill, sure thing. Add it to you bath? Yes please! Enrich your smoothie with it? Yes! Spa's worldwide have been getting pestered by their most discerning guests to get slathered in magnesium from head to toe, resulting in a blow-up of magnesium spa treatments on the spa menus. Even fruits and vegetables want to be #ontrend and are touting their magnesium content to attract those of us who are lucky enough to have stumbled on the holy grail knowledge that Magnesium is, quite simply put - a life essential!

Magnesium is a life essential - people are catching on

It it is a "cure all" because if we are deficient in magnesium (and most of us are). Pesky ailments start to surface, headaches, poor sleep quality, irritability, muscle pains and so on. That's why it's difficult to "diagnose" magnesium deficiency, it can manifest itself in different ways depending on your individual weak point.

Before we talk about where you can get the purest natural Raw magnesium to add to your product line, or to your spa menu. Let's talk about why NOW? Magnesium awareness has been gaining momentum and we are on the brink of it going mainstream. Or has it gone mainstream already?

Exhibit A... PEPSI CO creates a product based on magnesium! And you can't get any more mainstream then PEPSI.

The calorie- and sugar-free noncarbonated water, flavored with a hint of blackberry and lavender, contains 200 milligrams of L-theanine and 10% of the daily value of magnesium.

This brings us to the point. If Pepsi is about to come out with a product based on magnesium, it means, magnesium is about to go completely mainstream. (Roll-out to stores is planned for January 2021.)

Cosmetics - How to add Magnesium to your product line

Pure, natural transdermal magnesium product is a perfect way to respond to current trends and challenges. Magnesium awareness is booming, and in the current environment having a strong immune system and taking care of one's health is top of mind for most people. Zechstein Inside ® magnesium, extracted in The Netherlands from a natural source, and tested on an ICP machine (parts per billion concentration) is a raw material that Brands can re-fill as is under their own brand creating their own magnesium spray product. The only decision left (not an easy one!) is choosing which magnesium benefit to focus on promoting. Stress relief? Better sleep? Stronger immunity? etc. Think about what will enriches your product line and add value to your customer group.

Spas - How to add Magnesium to your service offering

In the professional setting for treatments, magnesium that really works is an imperative. You want your customer to feel it working. When choosing magnesium products to work with look critically at the ingredients. If the magnesium content is 2% of the whole, it's clearly not the main active. Brands using pure Zechstein Inside ® magnesium will show 31% magnesium concentration and the rest water. Incidentally it is the highest concentration of Magnesium Chloride in the liquid form. What you get is a slick "oily" feel, clear liquid that can be incorporated in numerous ways into spa treatments and massages. Please take a look at our other articles specifically magnesium treatments for sleep, massage, and for facials.

Sourcing to quality Magnesium for transdermal cosmetic products

There are a number of magnesium producers but when it comes to magnesium which ends up in your customers' blood streams, sourcing excellent quality magnesium is your top priority. Watch out for technical grade magnesium, produced in a lab and intended for industrial purposes like mixing into cement, road de-icing and so on. The magnesium grade you should be sourcing should be produced with a strict quality protocol for transdermal use. If it's a natural product, check the quality by asking for Certificates of Analysis and look into concentration levels of other trace materials, you don't want contaminated magnesium. Magnesium harvested from a body of water exposed to pollution will have to be cleaned, you have to look carefully at how the magnesium is processed.

Magnesium Needs To Be Part Of Your Defense Arsenal - And Not Just During A Crisis.

April 7, 2020

In the last few weeks supplements saw a 6% - 8% sales jump in Europe and the US according to Nielsen. All of the sudden supporting immune system in all holistic ways has become a priority like never before. The "problem" with this approach is that it still follows the now outdated "problem - prescription" model. That is a model geared to prescription drugs, with holistic approaches daily maintenance is the key. Magnesium is at the core of 600 enzymatic reactions in the body, making it necessary for proper functioning of just about any process in the body, from digestion, to nervous system. And balanced magnesium levels are needed not only during "crisis" but every day.

For those of us trying to "catch-up" dusting off those forgotten supplement bottles, or buying up a whole new arsenal worthy of a #shelfy display on our instagram, let's keep in mind why magnesium must be part of the line-up if we want to get the most benefit out of our immunity boosting efforts.

Magnesium for Vitamin D activation and function:

We are told to load up on vitamin D to help support us during a time of viruses. However, without a good magnesium balance it is difficult for the body to take in full benefit of vitamin D.

Optimal health benefits of exogenous and endogenous vitamin D might not be achieved without the adequate presence of magnesium, as the bioactivity of vitamin D is a magnesium-dependent process.*

Similarly, magnesium is needed for optimum assimilation of other vitamins. Zinc is also a known immune booster that has been a hot topic recently, however, taking elevated doses of this can lead to a quicker depletion of magnesium.

Magnesium for Sleep:

Maintaining healthy magnesium levels plays a role in supporting deep, restorative sleep by maintaining healthy levels of GABA, a neurotransmitter that promotes sleep. It helps our muscles to relax and activate a hormone that helps us fall asleep at the right time. And we know that sleeping well is very important for supporting our immune system.

Magnesium for controlling Stress:

Stress causes us to deplete our magnesium like wildfire. If our magnesium levels are already low, this can be dangerous. Magnesium is necessary for in keeping the nervous system functioning correctly.

Magnesium can suppress the ability of the hippocampus to stimulate the ultimate release of stress hormone, it can reduce the release of ACTH (the hormone that tells your adrenal glands to get in gear and pump out that cortisol and adrenaline), and it can reduce the responsiveness of the adrenal glands to ACTH. In addition, magnesium can act at the blood brain barrier to prevent the entrance of stress hormones into the brain. All these reasons are why I call magnesium "the original chill pill."

Emily Deans, MD (Psychology Today)

Breathe easier?

Your nose actually acts as the first defense barrier for your lungs against airborne pathogens. Well, the cilia in your nose to be exact, this primary defense mechanism is called mucociliary clearance (MCC). It's very important to keep the nose in top share and clean so the cilia can do its job easier as well as support the healthy re-generation of  new mucous cells. We leave you with a practical tip from the Magnesium Health Institute on supporting your nose with, you guessed it, magnesium.

What you need: Pure Magnesium Oil (do check the back of the bottle to be sure it's Zechstein Inside)

  1. If you don't have a netti pot it's fine, Just take a bottle of magnesium oil with you under the shower! (Or do this at the sink after brushing your teeth)

  2. Spray the oil on the palm of your hand five times and dilute it with water until it tastes like seawater.

  3. Lower your nose into your cupped hands and the "magnesium solution" and let it get into your nose, and repeat this a couple of times. 

You will feel some tingling, and will feel the need to blow your nose out a few times after this. It's good, the dead skin sells and other things that don't belong in your nose are coming out.

Let's use this crisis as a wake-up call to focus on getting our bodies and minds in top shape and making a commitment to taking care of our wellbeing on a daily basis.

Deep Sleep - And What Spa's Can Offer The Modern Sleep Deprived Superheroes.

February 26, 2020

Modern world is sleep deprived, read about how magnesium spa treatments can cater to people actively looking to improve their sleep quality. "Did you sleep well?" Can seem like an innocent enough question, but in today's modern society it is most likely anxiety inducing invitation to open a dangerously loaded Pandora's box. In a few moments "Where shall I start..." runs through our mind as we try to think back to the last time we had a deep, satisfying, uninterrupted night's sleep, and realize we can't remember when that was.

Saving Skin in Today's Polluted World - Magnesium Facials to The Rescue.

January 24, 2020

How did we get here? Pollution, poor air quality - that in some parts of the world eclipses the sun, new man made chemicals, high stress, all in the name of enjoying the 'comforts' of modern living? Our fast paced modern life is aging us quicker and the proof of that is written all over our face. Premature aging is showing up as wrinkles earlier making people as early as in their 20s line up for Botox. Skin issues and imbalances making our skin extra dry, or extra oily, having to slather on highlighter to mimic the natural glow we should have. Not to mention the internal influences that can wrack havoc on skin such as nutrient deficient diet, overloaded adrenaline system due to stress, and environmental changes making our sun stronger and more dangerous.
