Why Magnesium Matters — And Why We Love Topical Magnesium Body Butter
If you’ve been hearing more about magnesium lately, there’s a good reason for it.
Magnesium plays a role in over 300 biochemical functions in the body. It helps regulate important minerals like calcium, potassium, and sodium and supports many processes related to muscle function, relaxation, and overall wellness.
The challenge?
Many people simply don’t get enough magnesium through diet alone.
That’s one reason topical magnesium products — like magnesium body butter — have become increasingly popular.
Why Some People Choose Topical Magnesium
Your skin is your body’s largest organ and is highly effective at absorbing certain nutrients and minerals.
Many people prefer topical magnesium because it:
Bypasses digestion
Can be applied directly where you feel tension or discomfort
May be gentler for people with sensitive stomachs
Provides skin hydration at the same time
Topical magnesium is often used as part of a recovery routine, nighttime wind-down routine, or post-sauna routine.
Potential Signs of Low Magnesium
While magnesium deficiency should always be discussed with a healthcare provider, some people report experiencing symptoms like:
Headaches or migraines
Leg cramps
Restless legs
Sleep challenges
Irritability
Muscle tension or weakness
Many guests are surprised how often magnesium comes up in conversations about overall wellness.
Why We Chose Roots & Leaves Magnesium Body Butter
At The Salt Spot, we’re very intentional about what we carry in our retail space. We look for products that align with our values: clean ingredients, simple routines, and realistic wellness support.
We love Roots & Leaves Magnesium Body Butter because it is:
✔ Made with organic ingredients
✔ Free from synthetic fragrance
✔ Free from parabens and synthetic fillers
✔ Made with eco-conscious packaging
✔ Thick, rich, and long lasting (a little goes a long way)
It also has a natural light chocolate scent from cocoa butter — no added fragrance.
What Makes This Formula Unique
This body butter is thicker than most whipped body butters. That’s intentional.
To keep the formula clean and stable (without emulsifiers or alcohol), it’s formulated to be slightly firmer — but it melts beautifully when applied to the skin.

How Many Guests Use Magnesium Body Butter
Many guests use it as part of simple, consistent wellness routines like:
• Before bed (feet, calves, shoulders)
• After sauna sessions
• After workouts
• During recovery routines
Topical magnesium typically takes about 30 minutes to fully absorb into the skin.
Consistency Matters
Magnesium is not typically used as a “quick fix.”
Many people choose to use it consistently over several weeks as part of a long-term wellness routine.
A Simple Addition to a Wellness Routine
At The Salt Spot, we always come back to one core idea:
Consistency matters more than intensity.
Magnesium Body Butter is an easy, simple way many guests support relaxation, recovery, and skin health — especially when paired with sauna sessions or evening wind-down routines.
