Hi WW,

The more I study magnesium the less I seem to know about it. So many conflicting stories, so...

Personally this will be my first time trying Magnesium oil.
Magnesium chloride is a SALT. It is used extensively to de-ice the roads.

Some people believe that Epsom Salt is the way to go. (much less expensive.)

According to “Albalover” in my earlier post Magnesium Malate with active B6 is GREAT so I will try it too.

Transdermal Magnesium Chloride supplementation will improve the production of hydrochloric acid and aid in digestion and elimination.
The Magnesium Oil may be applied directly to the skin through spraying or direct application and massage. Care should be used for those with sensitive skin by diluting the Magnesium Oil 50/50 with distilled or Magnesium Prill water. The Magnesium Oil may be mixed with shampoos, conditioners, lotions, oils, and any other product that you apply to the skin. Adding a penetrating ointment containing Cayenne pepper (Capsicum) or a Castor Oil pack will speed delivery to the underlying muscles and tissues. Quality Magnesium Oil contains 28 – 32% Magnesium Chloride and will never be any greater in concentration as the liquid becomes unstable in that there may be a separation of ingredients when stored in colder conditions. Magnesium Chloride is also available in a hexahydrate (crystal) form that contains 60 – 66.8% Magnesium Chloride, which some suppliers claim is the concentration of the Magnesium Oil, but that is not possible.
While we are treating ourselves to the best skin care possible.

This happens to me too and I assumed that's because it's a salt so I started using it along with a lotion. I apply lotion first and then the oil and rub in well to be sure it absorbs.
Good luck
