How to Use

For Nightly Moisturizing: After your evening shower or bath, pump lotion into your hands and massage gently onto legs, arms, shoulders, or anywhere your skin needs moisture and comfort. The lavender aroma and smooth texture make it perfect for your bedtime ritual.

Post-Workout Recovery: Apply generously to areas that need extra attention after exercise. The combination of magnesium and arnica has been traditionally valued for post-activity comfort. Massage thoroughly and allow to absorb before dressing.

Targeted Application: Use on specific areas that need focused care—feet, calves, shoulders, or lower back. The pumpable formula makes it easy to dispense just the right amount.

Pro Tips:

  • Apply to slightly damp skin after bathing for enhanced absorption
  • Use 20-30 minutes before bed to allow the calming lavender aroma to support your wind-down routine
  • Some individuals may experience a temporary tingling sensation when first using topical magnesium—this is normal and typically diminishes with regular use
  • Pair with Tranquil Shores Magnesium Spray for targeted areas, then follow with this lotion for full-body moisture

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What's the difference between the magnesium spray and this lotion?
A: The spray is a concentrated, pure magnesium chloride solution (300mg per teaspoon) that's unscented and fast-absorbing—ideal for targeted application. The lotion combines magnesium (150mg per teaspoon) with arnica-infused sesame oil, shea butter, mango butter, and lavender for a more luxurious, moisturizing experience. The lotion is gentler, rarely causes tingling, and provides both magnesium delivery and full-body hydration. Choose the spray for targeted muscle areas, or the lotion for all-over nightly moisturizing.

Q: What is arnica and why is it in this lotion?
A: Arnica is a botanical traditionally valued in skincare for supporting muscle comfort and recovery. We infuse organic arnica flowers in sesame oil to create a synergistic blend with magnesium. Together, they provide a soothing sensory experience perfect for post-workout massage, bedtime rituals, or anytime your muscles need extra comfort.

Q: Will this lotion tingle like the magnesium spray?
A: Rarely! The lotion has a lower magnesium concentration (150mg vs 300mg per teaspoon) and is buffered with nourishing butters and oils, making it much gentler on skin. Most people experience no tingling at all. If you've found the spray too intense, the lotion is an excellent alternative.

Q: Can I use this on my whole body or just specific areas?
A: Both! The pumpable lotion format makes it perfect for all-over body moisturizing as part of your nightly routine, or you can target specific areas that need extra attention (legs, shoulders, back, feet). The lightweight formula absorbs in 1-2 minutes and leaves a smooth, dry-touch finish—never greasy or sticky.

Q: Is the lavender scent strong?
A: No, it's subtle and spa-like. We use a light touch of Lavender 40/42 essential oil to create a calming, tranquil aroma that enhances your bedtime ritual without being overpowering. The scent fades within 15-20 minutes, leaving just a hint of botanical fragrance.


Texture & Sensory Experience

Texture: Silky, pumpable lotion that glides smoothly onto skin without dragging or pulling. The Soft & Silky emulsifier creates a luxurious feel that absorbs quickly—no waiting around for it to sink in.

Absorption: Fast-absorbing within 1-2 minutes, leaving a smooth, dry-touch finish. No greasy residue, white streaking, or heavy feeling.

Scent: Subtle, calming lavender aroma with a mild nutty base note from sesame oil. Clean, spa-like fragrance that's soothing without being overpowering—perfect for evening use.

Skin Feel: Soft, hydrated, and comfortable. The combination of butters and lightweight oils provides lasting moisture without occlusion or heaviness.
