I made a batch yesterday. Turned out amazing. Instead of distilled water though I used creosote infused water (tea) and creosote oil for the fragrance. We live in New Mexico and love the smell of the creosote plant. Plus it has its own natural healing remedies. Thank you for sharing your talent!
@@bethjohnson1068 I used 3/4 Aloe Vera Juice & distilled water. Unfortunately, Ellen's verbal explanation and the recipe below the video contradicted eachother. So my batch was ruined 😢 $16.95 worth of magnesium down the drain. Think I'll just take the 8 oz. Remaining and make magnesium spray.🙂
@@sherit8594 in what way is it different? I saw your post before the video began so I’ve been following along with the recipe. I’m curious so I don’t do the same thing, what part was inconsistent? Sorry you had troubles! That’s always so upsetting. 💜
@@ellielynn8219 in the video Ellen says she has "22 oz. Each" magnesium and water. Where it's actually 22 ounces total. So it's supposed to be: 11 oz of water & 11 ounces of magnesium
I had been looking for a recipe like this - I made some and my family loves it - they are my guinea pigs for new products I try. I have 5 family members using it including myself. Instead of using distilled water to make the magnesium oil I use chamomile tea. I make a batch for trade days each month and I have been selling out of it and I have customers coming back for more! Thank you for sharing!
I made this for a friend that has MS and gets really bad leg cramps at night. I substituted peppermint oil instead of lavender, and avocado butter and oil because that's what I have on hand for my other products. I goofed and added 2x the water to the magnesium instead of 1:1 but she really liked it! Love your channel and that you actually share your recipes. Maybe one day I'll get brave and try CP soap! Thanks Ellen
I need to tell you I made this and it turned out wonderful. I then came down with COVID. I was having terrible leg cramps from COVID. I googled leg cramps and COVID and it said people experiencing this were low in magnesium. I slathered this butter on everyday for a week and no more cramps!
I absolutely love this recipe. I also added honey at 2%, Vitamin E Oil at 1.25% and 2 teaspoons of Colloidal Oats. It turned out lovely. I really enjoy your channel and have learned a lot from you. Thanks Ellen!
I made this recipe today and it turned out very well, I just replaced the water with Aloe vera juice and chamomile essential oils. Thank you very much, I will test it on my skin tonight❤
What a great idea, the lotion looks so creamy and beautiful. Adding magnesium to it is is a wonderful idea, as a registered nurse I see daily bloodwork, so many people are low on magnesium. This will definitely help with muscle pains. I so enjoy watching your videos, you're a relax and informative teacher.
Thank you for sharing this!! I suffer with SEVERE legs cramps so am definitely going to whip this one up .. LOVE your videos and teaching skills - you explain everything so well in the process of making all of your creations ❤
This is a “must to have”for me Ellen. I apply the lotion every night after showering. It’s really a life changer for me. I sleep like a baby again. Thank you for sharing
I am trying it today. I had to buy all that was necessary, so I am ready. Thank you for sharing the recipe, I have leg cramps that are so painful, and I know magnesium will help me a lot. Thank you again.
Yes, I use magnesium oil . I boil the water and make it 50/50 and put it right on my skin but I only leave it on for an hour then rinse off, makes your skin feel soft, it detoxify your skin and it does work for sore muscles, after workouts too. Thanks Ellen.
Ellen I heard an herbalist say that if your skin tingles when you put magnesium on it's because you are magnesium deficient and your skin is trying to absorbe it so fast it will make the skin tingle. She said you can counter act that by rubbing a little olive oil on the area. Can't wait to make this thank-you!!
This is true, I was going to post this also, my daughter had the tingling for a while then it want away after more uses. A good way to find out if you are deficient!
I followed your method but made a quarter size and omitted the scent and the preservative. I used cetyl alcohol as a thickener but no stearic acid because I didn't have any. I did use emulsifying wax, but only a quarter of what was required in the recipe because I only have a small tester pack. Despite my mashing up of your recipe, Ellen, I now have three nice jars of a thick lotion, not quite a cream, which has a lovely faint grassy smell and is a pretty pale green colour from the hemp oil, and which soaks into the skin leaving it feeling beautifully moisturised. I'll keep it in the fridge. Thank you for the perfect recipe and apologies for my complete inability to be accurate. I will get more ingredients and try for a scented cream next time.
I just got done making this. Let me preface this with YOU ARE THE BEST!!! I love how you explain everything, and add reasons why you use the ingredients for each recipe.. I have watched almost every video of yours. And, each one is perfectly explained So, this recipe worked just like you've shown here. I love the amount of Lavender that goes in it. It is perfect and not overbearing. The recipe is so perfect. It is not greasy, and absorbs very quickly. I have restless leg syndrome, along with other pain. I just put it on my legs, and could feel a slight tingle, but a good tingle. I am looking forward to sleeping good tonight. Thanks again! BTW... what size piping bags do you use? I bought the 12", and they are too small. It took me using 5 bags to complete. 😢
I love watching your videos. You are an excellent teacher of learning be seeing(doing). I do not try making any of your recipes but I love that you give them. God’s blessings to you.
I used this all weekend sadly I have had awful body aches from catching Covid I ordered this before I was positive but it really did help my muscle aches!!! It was perfect timing although I would much prefer not having covid! Thank you for your amazing products!
TY so much for this Recipe. Using the Spray on my feet has caused Roughness and ugly dryness on them. This would be a better way to get the Magnesium to my body, and make my feet softer.
Hello. This looks like a great recipe. Can’t wait to try it. Want to tell you I read your comments and you have a zillion people telling you how wonderful you are and thanks for sharing. Count me as a zillion and one. You are the best! Thank you so much, us beginners really need someone like you who can explains things so well.
I just made this lotion tonight and rubbed what was left in my measuring cup on my feet and Wow! It feels so rich and soft. I hope it will help me sleep. Thank you so much for the recipe!
I was asked to make a magnesium & lavender lotion/balm for one of our daughter's co-worker's son who is autistic - and she heard the lavender, along with the magnesium, can help soothe him. I want to share this with you as when I am approached about making something like this, I come to YOU - for one thing, I trust your recipes and choices for ingredients (the explanation for the magnesium sulfate vs. magnesium chloride)....and another, I know I can find what I am looking for within your channel. I use your Amazon links as I feel like I am somewhat paying you just a little for the TONS I get from you. Thank you so much for always sharing these products with us.
Thanks for sharing. I tried this recipe and turned out wonderful. However, it did not spread easily on the skin. It kind of gave a sticky feeling. Not sure what caused it. Next time, I will reduce the stearic acid only 1 oz and replace rest with lenolin. I think, stearic acid made it less spreadable.
I have been using magnesium cream and spray for a few months. I love it, I have arthritis in my hands and knees ,this stuff is AMAZING, my pain level has gone from a8 to 3 now . I diknow how easy it was to make . I am going to make some for myself. ❤❤❤❤
My mom just had a knee replacement and I made this for her (but I swapped out an ingredient and added Kombo butter) it has really helped! Thank you so much for teaching!
I just made a batch this morning and tweaked it somewhat to add my CBD infusion in coconut oil. I added a touch of arrowroot due to the oiliness of the coconut oil and it is awesome! Rubbed some on my lower back -it was tingly and felt relief almost immediately! Thank you for all your videos but I must say this one is definitely a keeper:)
I love applying the magnesium lotion I make to my feet at bed time. Users should be aware that the magnesium will cause a stinging sensation if applied to broken skin.
@@adambland8779 are you saying that you are experiencing numbness in your thigh? That could be a neuropathy. Do you have sciatic pain? Have you been to the doctor about it? 🙏
@@ml3110 pretty much started 3 yrs ago yes down my lower back all the way to my left ankle .I thinking my neck might have something to do with it but I'm no Dr.
@@adambland8779 definitely get to a doctor and have them do an MRI. I went through something similar and thought I had sciatic pain. Long story short, I had a 2 cm tumor on my spine. I had it removed, it was invasive, but 8 yrs later, all is well. I'm NOT saying you have a tumor, but I am saying have yourself checked. No one would believe that I was experiencing the pain that I was actually experiencing until I lost the ability to walk... 2 CM... smh! I pray healing and total restoration of your body.
I put magnesium flake in all my bath salt blend that I make for the same reason and also it clear the body from EMF , but we not suppose to say that loll . What a great idea to make a lotion with it , people should know how beneficial it is for there wellbeing. Thank you so much , for sure I gonna make it .
this is so interesting, i never heard of magnesium lotion before but it sounds wonderful especially for me who suffers from migraine. might gonna buy them sometimes in the future. thanks for the video, ellen! hope you have a nice day ❤
I use ancient mineral magnesium oil in my magnesium lotion. Great idea to use the magnesium flakes! I love your butter and oil blend! I might have to try that out! Thanks so much for sharing! ❤️
You are the best Ellen! I made this last night and love it! I am wondering if you know how much magnesium might actually be delivered/absorbed in say a teaspoon of lotion? Thank you for these videos, I’m obsessed 🤩
Fantastic Ellen, this is exactly what I hoped a soaper was going to cover for Magnesium in a lotion. I use magnesium for spasms in my shoulders and neck, and the effects are amazing. I do hate the feeling on the skin, it's weird and doesn't dissipate like a lotion would. You've given me a chance to experiment further, and not be flying blind. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and giving us a chance to try something different. Your very much appreciated. 😍 😍
This looks amazing…I’m going to try this recipe as my partner has restless legs and I have an itch due to an autoimmune disease…so hoping it might help with that. Thank you for sharing 💕
I absolutely adore you. This crossed my mind a while ago and totally forgot about looking for a recipe. You're an angel. I guess it was meant to be for me to find this. 😁 Thank you!💖
Thanks for sharing this recipe and video. I am going to give this a go for my Mum who suffers from night time cramps. I also have restless leg syndrome and take magnesium tablets but this may help me too. Love your videos.
Thank you Ellen for sharing this recipe. I will for sure make some. I suffer from restless legs and craps, I presently use only the spray version that hubby makes for me from the flakes into oil. We both want to try the lotion.
I made this, replaced the preservative with Vitamin E oil (because I didn't have any but have ordered some now). This has replaced my transdermal magnesium and I love it! So much easier to apply! Ellen I want to thank you again! You have taught me sooo much. I have a question about the magnesium brine. Have you ever or what do you think about the idea of replacing the water with a lavender Hydrosol?
Thank you for all you do, Ellen. Your channel gives me so much inspiration ❤ I'd really love to see you make a video making a salve or balm using ingredients like menthol, camphor, herb infused oils (arnica, comfrey), turmeric, cayenne, etc. I think you get the idea 😉 I think it would be amazing.
Great video - thank you! I have used topical magnesium before, but only dissolved in water. This seems like such a nicer way to apply it, and I will definitely give it a try.
I can’t wait to try making your lotion! Thank you so much for sharing your expertise and recipe. I wondered how much you charge for a jar as I didn’t see any in your store.
PS from Florida! I love your body butter lotion so much! I look forward to using this rich creamy, absorbs well goodness! I’m half way done with my jar and will re purchase! I live in hot humid sticky Florida and I can use this fabulous body butter lotion! I cannot say enough about this…obviously! Lol!
Oooh this looks great Ellen. I have muscle problem areas that could use something to soothe them. I know magnesium does help with muscle cramps and even sleep. Didn't know about restless legs though. I'll let you know if I make this. Thank you for the recipe and your process!
I love Ruth Ellen recipes!I’m curious though … will the magnesium melt in hot oil? I’d rather make a body butter or a tallow balm than a lotion so I can skip the water and preservative. If not, I’m gonna make this ❤
Ellen Ruth, thank you soo much for sharing. I really needed to see & have the knowledge. I’m so excited to make & use. I am a hardcore user of mag oil.
Hi Ellen,Thank you for this recipe.I am suffering for lag cramp and Arthurits and cant open my fingers.It a blessing to see this lotion you made. Can i have the percentage of ingredients which you include as I am making it for the first time so want to make a small batch to see,if it is successful in making this.I will be very grateful .Thank you.
Hi Ellen, first let me say, I Love your channel and videos. I have a couple of questions for this lotion. 1) instead of the emulsifying wax, could you use beeswax at the same ratio? 2)what could you substitute for the Stearic acid (what does it do)? 3)is there an option for the Optiphen (ie. Honey or vitamin E) and ratios? Thanks
Ellen, silly question. To make a smaller batch, do I just cut everything in half? Thank you for your videos. You are my inspiration to try soap making 😊
As usual great recipe. I'm going to try it. Ellen can you make like an Menthol ointment for muscle pain. I was going to make one but I've had such bad year 2021, and 22 hasnt been easy. Since you are an incredible maker I think you will come out with something great. Ty you so much you are the best. Hugs Ivon
Hi Ellen, how do you think a hydrosol would work instead of distilled water? Thanks for this awesome recipe! I’m going to make some for my mom, she suffered a massive stroke and her muscles cause her so much pain.
This is a fantastic recipe and I thank you so much for providing it to us and showing us how to make it. I was wondering if there's a way to calculate how many milligrams of magnesium is in one tsp of cream based on your recipe.
I made this lotion a couple of weeks ago and it works well! I just have a problem with the soaping effect with the lotion I made. Do you have any suggestions for fixing soaping?
Great video! I’m excited to try it. Because I am highly allergic to mango.,do you have the substitute for that particular butter other than doubling up on the Shea?

How did you measure your 22 oz. Of Magnesium & 22 oz of water/tea?

PS from Florida! I love your body butter lotion so much! I look forward to using this rich creamy, absorbs well goodness! I’m half way done with my jar and will re purchase! I live in hot humid sticky Florida and I can use this fabulous body butter lotion! I cannot say enough about this…obviously! Lol!
Awesome! I'm so glad you're loving it! It's been a super hot and sticky summer so far here in TN as well😅
Thank you 😊. I love watching you create! So elegant and tidy 💕
Thank you! 😊
Thank you Ellen, I learnt something new from you today. Thanks for continuously sharing your knowledge.
You are so welcome!💕
Oooh this looks great Ellen. I have muscle problem areas that could use something to soothe them. I know magnesium does help with muscle cramps and even sleep. Didn't know about restless legs though. I'll let you know if I make this. Thank you for the recipe and your process!
You are a God send!!! Thank you for such a wonderful help and the process!!! I LOVE magnesium!!!!❤️💕
You are so welcome!
I love Ruth Ellen recipes!I’m curious though … will the magnesium melt in hot oil? I’d rather make a body butter or a tallow balm than a lotion so I can skip the water and preservative. If not, I’m gonna make this ❤
Yes, magnesium flakes are oil soluble. So you should be able to make butter with them.
Ellen Ruth, thank you soo much for sharing. I really needed to see & have the knowledge. I’m so excited to make & use. I am a hardcore user of mag oil.
I hope you give the recipe a try, I think you'll love it!
@@EllenRuthSoap I’m ramping up for festivals 😵💫😬😂🥰
Was thinking of this possibility today. Perfect!
Thank you so much for sharing this. I can’t wait to have a go at making it 🤗👍🏼
I love how informative you are with your videos I love your channel...
Thank you! And thanks for the spelling check😉
@@EllenRuthSoap no problem my friend😊 I deleted my comment because no one needed to see it but you ...
Love this video.i suffer with resless legs in the evening and take magnesium tablets ,this lotion looks lovely 😍 x
You’re a gem Ruth
Thanks for this video, my husband has restless leg, and this will be great to apply before bed, good night sleep here we come 😴!
Glad it was helpful!❣️
This is inspiring me to start making lotions! It looks amazing. Thank you for the video!
Lotion making is so fun and rewarding, you’ll never regret diving in❣️
@@EllenRuthSoap I ended up making this recipe and OMG!!! It's lucious and smooth and it's so nice on my achy shoulders. Thank you!
awesome content. You made that very easy to understand. Thank you !
Your videos are amazing! I’ve been binge watching them, hopefully I’ll make some of my own soon :)
Thanks for watching💕
Hi Ellen,Thank you for this recipe.I am suffering for lag cramp and Arthurits and cant open my fingers.It a blessing to see this lotion you made. Can i have the percentage of ingredients which you include as I am making it for the first time so want to make a small batch to see,if it is successful in making this.I will be very grateful .Thank you.
Wholesale Supplies Plus has a percentage calculator that is very handy.
This looks super interesting. Love it Ellen!
Hi Ellen, first let me say, I Love your channel and videos. I have a couple of questions for this lotion. 1) instead of the emulsifying wax, could you use beeswax at the same ratio? 2)what could you substitute for the Stearic acid (what does it do)? 3)is there an option for the Optiphen (ie. Honey or vitamin E) and ratios? Thanks
Beeswax does not make a great emulsifyer, so I wouldn't recommend it. I haven't made this with other ingredients so I can't speak to reformulating..
I made a batch of this yesterday, I LOVE the feel of it! Could I make it without the magnesium? Would it retain the same skin feel?
Yes, you can use plain water and it will still be a luscious lotion.
Can’t wait to try it! Thank you for sharing!
Hope you like it!❣️
Ellen, silly question. To make a smaller batch, do I just cut everything in half? Thank you for your videos. You are my inspiration to try soap making 😊
Yes, you can halve the recipe👍
Ellen you are always a,pleasure to watch thank you for your...
(Soap & More) service, I truly appreciate you.
Thank you so much!
Can’t wait to try this!
Thank you so
Much for this. I love all
Your recipes. Questions would this be too thick to put in a pump bottle?
Thanks! Yes, I think this formula would be a bit too thick for a pump.
Just made it! Thank you so much.
Did you mention how to store the lotion ?
It's shelf stable for storage.
Made this yesterday.. I love it sooo much.. could this recipe be used as a normal lotion, minus the mag flakes??
Yes 👍
@Ellen Ruth Soap OH My Goodness, I'm excited... Thank you So much.. I've learned so much from you.
Can't wait to try this. Thank you. What determines the shelf life for this product? Is it the oils/butters?
Yes, if you're using fresh ingredients it will extend the shelf life.
As usual great recipe. I'm going to try it.
Ellen can you make like an
Menthol ointment for muscle pain. I was going to make one but I've had such bad year 2021, and 22 hasnt been easy. Since you are an incredible maker I think you will come out with something great. Ty you so much you are the best. Hugs Ivon
Thanks! Menthol salve is a great suggestion, I'm going to consider this😉
Thank you so much can’t wait to see what you come out with, im sure is going to be great. Like everything you do.
This looks like a an amazing recipe I can't wait to try this one.
Hope you enjoy❣️
Hi Ellen, I just came across with your channel, I'm loving it! One question: can I replace the butters for tallow or what percentage? thanks.
Glad you found me! You could sub any or all of the hard oils and butters with tallow at the same amounts.
@@EllenRuthSoap Thank you, I can't wait to try it!
Hi Ellen, how do you think a hydrosol would work instead of distilled water? Thanks for this awesome recipe! I’m going to make some for my mom, she suffered a massive stroke and her muscles cause her so much pain.
I think a hydrosol would work great in this formula. What a sweet way to care for your mother💕
@@EllenRuthSoap thank you! Yes, just trying to ease her pain and make her feel as “normal” as possible. Thank you for your kind words. 💜
Would love for you to do a video on your skincare. Your skin is so lovely! I need to make some of this. Magnesium is so wonderful.
Thank you🥰
This is a fantastic recipe and I thank you so much for providing it to us and showing us how to make it. I was wondering if there's a way to calculate how many milligrams of magnesium is in one tsp of cream based on your recipe.
Glad you're enjoying the recipe! I know there is a way to do the calculations, I haven't run the numbers...
I made this lotion a couple of weeks ago and it works well! I just have a problem with the soaping effect with the lotion I made. Do you have any suggestions for fixing soaping?
I'm not sure what's causing that.?. Perhaps try a different E-wax?
Thank you for sharing this video. I hope you offer this product again soon.
Great video! I’m excited to try it. Because I am highly allergic to mango.,do you have the substitute for that particular butter other than doubling up on the Shea?
You can replace the mango with any quality butter, like Kokum, Cupuacu or more…
Thank you so much for sharing all of your recipies❤ Please could you have alternative measurements converting to ml, cup or teaspoon measurements🙏
Google has a great oz to grams or ml function👍
Thank you so much, Ruth Ellen❤
Thx so much- definitely gonna get Mag flakes and make this!
