Behind the Bottle: Why We Use Magnesium in Skincare

Because your skin deserves more than just surface-level care.

When you think about skincare, you might picture creams that smell good, or body washes that feel nice after a long day. But at MaGéAu Naturel, we want to take you beyond the surface, quite literally. Let’s talk about one powerful, often overlooked ingredient: magnesium.

Yes, magnesium. Not the first thing you'd expect in a skincare product, right? But once you understand it's magic, you’ll wonder why it’s not in every bottle on your shelf.

The Hidden Issue: Why Most Skin Isn’t Thriving

Many people today deal with skin that's dry, dull, or sensitive. And it’s not just the pollution or stress, it’s also the products we’re using. So many skincare brands rely on synthetic chemicals, over-strip the skin, or simply focus on “looking good” rather than being healthy.

What’s worse? Most people don’t realise they’re magnesium deficient, and that affects the skin more than you'd think.

What Is Magnesium, Really?

Magnesium is a natural mineral found in the Earth, your body, and yes, your skin. It plays a big role in how your skin repairs, stays hydrated, fights off inflammation, and even how it ages.

In fact, magnesium helps:

• Strengthen the skin barrier
• Calm irritated skin
• Boost skin cell regeneration
• Support moisture retention
• Reduce inflammation (a major cause of acne, redness and sensitivity)

Still, very few skincare brands are talking about it. Why? Because magnesium isn’t trendy, it’s just quietly powerful.

What Makes Our Magnesium-Infused Range So Different?

We don’t just sprinkle magnesium in and call it a day. We blend it thoughtfully with other plant-based, skin-loving ingredients to give you real results. Plus, all our products are vegan, eco-friendly, organic, and designed with sustainability at heart.

You may not know that our organism absorbs 30% of magnesium when applied on the skin. So, the magic of magnesium works better than your imagination.  Let’s walk you through our everyday essentials and why each one is powered by magnesium:

1. Gentle Cleanser

Ingredients: Magnesium, Vitamin E, Beet Root Extract

Cleansing shouldn’t strip your skin or leave it feeling tight. Our gentle cleanser uses magnesium to maintain your skin’s natural barrier while Vitamin E soothes and protects. Beet root extract gives your skin a natural glow by improving blood flow and oxygenation. It’s perfect for daily use, even on the most sensitive skin.

Why it works: Most cleansers damage the skin’s pH and protective layer. Magnesium helps preserve it, preventing dryness and redness.

2. Hydrating Shower Gel

Ingredients: Magnesium, Grape Seed Oil, Aloe Vera, Turmeric

We believe a shower gel should give more than just a rinse, it should be therapy. Our magnesium-rich formula reduces inflammation and gently cleanses without harsh chemicals. Grape seed oil provides light moisture, aloe vera calms irritation, and turmeric helps fight body acne and pigmentation.

Why it works: Your skin absorbs what you apply in the shower. Using magnesium here gives your whole body a calming boost.

3. Nourishing Body Lotion

Ingredients: Shea Butter, Aloe Vera, Magnesium

Dry, itchy skin is often a sign that your skin barrier is compromised. Our hydrating lotion uses magnesium to restore that barrier, Shea butter to lock in hydration, and aloe vera to calm flare-ups.

Why it works: Instead of masking the dryness, this lotion actually helps fix the root problem, an imbalanced skin barrier.

4. Revitalising Shampoo

Ingredients: Magnesium, Vitamin E, Grape Seed Oil, Aloe Vera Extract

Your scalp is skin too, and it often gets ignored. Magnesium soothes irritation and helps with issues like dandruff and itchiness. Combined with grape seed oil and vitamin E, our shampoo nourishes your hair without harsh foaming agents.

Why it works: Many shampoos cause stress to the scalp. Ours relieves it instead, which helps promote stronger, shinier hair over time.

5. Nourishing Conditioner

Ingredients: Magnesium, Vitamin E, Jojoba Oil

This one’s all about giving your hair a soft, silky finish without coating it in silicone. Magnesium helps detangle and strengthen, jojoba oil mimics your natural scalp oil, and vitamin E adds moisture and shine.

Why it works: This conditioner doesn’t just sit on your hair, it actually improves its texture and health from the inside.

6. Revitalising Body Oil

Ingredients: Grape Seed Oil, Magnesium, Vitamin E

Fast-absorbing and light, this body oil gives you that healthy, hydrated glow without any stickiness. It’s packed with antioxidants and skin-repairing magnesium, making it great for massages, post-shower rituals, or even as a calming pre-bed treatment.

Why it works: Unlike heavy oils that clog pores, this one works with your skin’s rhythm, nourishing deeply and naturally.

Why Choose Magnesium-Infused Skincare?

Most people focus on what they can see, like blemishes or dryness. But magnesium works behind the scenes to solve deeper issues like:

• Weak skin barrier (which leads to sensitivity)
• Low skin energy (meaning slow healing and dullness)
• Chronic inflammation (which triggers breakouts, redness and even wrinkles)

It also helps the body detox naturally, especially when used daily in body care.

Clean, Conscious, and Magnesium-Strong

Every product we make is:

✔ 100% Vegan
✔ Made with Organic Ingredients

We believe your skincare should do more than smell nice. It should heal, support and protect, and it should do so without harming the planet.

It’s Not Just a Trend. It’s What Your Skin Has Been Missing.

Magnesium might not be the “flashiest” ingredient. But in our world, it’s a quiet hero. And when paired with the right plant-based ingredients, it becomes a powerful part of a routine that supports skin health from within.

So next time you’re shopping for vegan skincare products or looking for organic skincare products, look beyond the label. Ask what’s behind the bottle, and choose ingredients that truly matter.

Your skin will thank you. The planet will too.
