Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I am doing heavy magnesium supplementation right now. I can't take very much magnesium orally because it gives me diarrhea. So I have been using topical magnesium. I have tried many different products and this is the one I like best. The effect is immediate when you put on this lotion. It penetrates fast and deep with a tingly sensation. The only thing I don't like is that it leaves a residue on my skin. The residue is such that if my skin gets wet it can be a little sticky. Unfortunately I have found this to be the case with their magnesium oil product as well (which is pure magnesium chloride, no extra lotion products), so the residue seems to be normal for topical magnesium. I researched each individual ingredient listed on the bottle and it contains no parabens or any other preservatives. A Google search of each ingredient turns up no health warnings, unlike the ingredients in many other lotions. Compare this product to Dr. Shealy's Biogenics Magnesium Lotion (8 oz.) which contains Cyclomethicone (silicone) and Germaben II (a preservative containing various parabens and formaldehyde which is a known carcinogen). This lotion is almost twice the price of Dr. Shealy's Biogenics Magnesium Lotion (8 oz.), but you get what you pay for in terms of ingredients. In addition to magnesium this lotion contains oils of jojoba, olive, coconut, and shea butter. Here is a complete list of ingredients taken from the Ancient Minerals website (which matches the list on the bottle) so that you all can research the ingredients if you wish: Ancient Minerals Magnesium Lotion: Purified water, Genuine Zechstein(tm) magnesium chloride (and other naturally occurring trace minerals), organic vegetable glycerin, organic simmondsia chinensis (jojoba) seed oil, olive squalane, cetearyl olivate, sorbitan olivate, organic cocos nucifera (coconut) oil, glyceryl stearate, cetyl alcohol, organic butyrospermum parkii (shea butter), hydroxypropyl starch phosphate, xanthan gum, caprylhydroxamic acid, caprylyl glycol
