Handcrafted Unscented Magnesium Body Cream

Produced as a body cream, this handcrafted formula combines coconut oil, jojoba oil, magnesium oil, mango butter, shea butter, evening primrose oil, and vitamin E.

Jojoba oil is often used for lightweight hydration. Magnesium is also commonly used for soothing muscle tension and relaxing the skin. Shea butter also acts to seal in moisture and nourish the skin barrier. Vitamin E is also frequently used to protect lipid-rich skin and seal in hydration.

Skin care engages touch at each step of a routine, and the step depends on the product. Cleansing products lift surface oils, debris, and bacteria from the skin (Aiello & Larson, 2002). Moisturizing products such as creams, lotions, and balms add emollients that soften the skin surface and help hold in hydration. Serums, masks, and treatments are applied to specific areas of the face, and the pressure of application adds to the sensation. Applying any of these products activates C‑tactile afferents, the nerve fibers that process pleasant touch (Löken et al., 2009; McGlone et al., 2014). Slow, massage‑like pressure is associated with reduced stress and relaxation (Field, 2010; Field, 2015), and warmth and absorption add to the sensation as the product meets the skin.

Anyone with a skin condition, allergies, or sensitivities should consult a physician or dermatologist before use.
