Q: Can I use more than a pea-sized amount of Good Night Lotion?

A: Yes! Every person's needs differ, so you can use more or less than the suggested amount. If you still struggle to sleep or experience a restless feeling, use more.

Q: What are these little white balls in it? How do I get rid of them?

A: These are stearic acid, a naturally-occurring fatty acid in shea and mango butters. When the lotion melts in transit or in a bathroom and cools slowly, the stearic acid separates from the other oils and hardens as these little balls. Your lotion is still fine! If you don't like the texture, you can remelt it, stir, and put it in the freezer to cool quickly.

Q: How do I use Good Night Lotion for occasional constipation?

A: Rub a small amount (start with pea-sized, but feel free to use more if needed) on your lower abdomen. For a child, massage up the right side, across, and down the left side (this is the flow of the large intestines, so it can help the bowels move along).

Q: Why magnesium chloride instead of another form?

A: Magnesium chloride is the best "general" form and well absorbed topically. Other forms are beneficial for different reasons, but if you're overwhelmed by research, this is a great place to start.

Q: Can I experience any side effects from using Good Night Lotion?

A: Rarely, someone can have itchy skin or slight diarrhea, but this isn't common. Use less in future applications.

Q: I'm pregnant. Can I rub Good Night Lotion on my belly?

A: Absolutely! Many women need extra magnesium while pregnant because their bodies are doing so much.

Q: If I want to use Good Night Lotion during the day for sore muscles or another need, will it make me fall asleep?

A: Almost certainly not. It helps muscles relax and allows your body to calm for sleep, but it doesn't induce drowsiness. You can use it whenever needed.

Q: My kids are more wired after using Good Night Lotion rather than sleepy. What happened?!

A: On rare occasions, lavender has the opposite effect on people, causing them to get energy instead of calming down! We suggest trying the sensitive version instead.

Q: My product arrived melted. What should I do?

A: This can happen when the product is exposed to hot weather. The quality of this product is not affected. Because we don’t use artificial fillers or stabilizers, our products can soften or melt in warm weather. But it’s an easy fix! Natural products may melt, but they still work just as wonderfully. First, if you believe the product may be melted -- do not open it right away. Place it in the freezer for about 30 - 45 minutes, then, after solidifying, use a fork to stir it well. If you ever have any issues or concerns, please reach out to our customer service team at so we can help!

Q: Plants don't seem 'strong enough' to replace the remedies I'm used to. Does this really work?

A: Yes! Plants and what is provided in nature are a lot more effective than you may know! There are lots of studies about what they can do in our bodies. In the Ingredients tab, you can click on each ingredient to learn more about it and read some of the studies. Give this a try and see for yourself how well it works -- and don't forget to read the reviews!

Q: When do products expire? What are the shelf life of your items?

A: In order to be FDA compliant, we are no longer able to put a Best By or Expiration Date on our products. We do, however, have our Lot Number on all products, which can be found as a 7-digit number either printed on the label or a sticker placed on the container. This will tell the day the product was finished. An example would be the lot number #2124005. 🟩 The first two numbers will indicate the year it was made. So for the above lot, the first two numbers are 21 and so it was made in the year 2021. 🟩 The next three numbers will indicate the day of the year it was made using the Julian Calendar. So the "240" day of the year would end up being the 12th of August. 🟩 The last two numbers will show the batch number made that day. So "05" would be the 5th batch made that day. 🟩 This would mean that the product was finished on August 12, 2021 and was the 5th product made that day. Shelf Life For Products: Because our products are 100% natural with no artificial preservatives, they do expire. The expiration dates are very loose estimates and products usually last much longer. You can extend the shelf life by keeping your products in the refrigerator, although it is not required. Products are safe to use past the expiration date, as long as they do not smell rancid (oil-based) or have visible mold (this is very rare unless contamination has occurred -- usually from mouth contact on the dropper).

Description

Gentle, nourishing magnesium lotion that supports restful sleep, relaxation, and muscle comfort for babies, kids, and adults of all ages.

Many of us aren’t getting the magnesium our bodies need to sleep well and feel our best. Magnesium Lotion is an easy, topical way to replenish magnesium in our bodies, supporting calm nights and energized days for the whole family.

This natural, topical magnesium lotion is made with easy-to-absorb magnesium chloride blended into nourishing organic oils and butters to create a rich, non-greasy lotion. It’s a simple, soothing plant-based cream that absorbs easily into the skin as it delivers bioavailable magnesium where it’s needed most.

Gentle enough for nightly use, even on little ones, this magnesium cream offers a calming, moisturizing ritual to help promote relaxation, muscle comfort, and overall well‑being.

Unlike many commercial magnesium products, our Magnesium Lotion contains:

No synthetic ingredients. No unnecessary fillers. Just real herbs your body can recognize and use.
