Not just another magnesium
We understand skin and how to get magnesium in. Our magnesium product range caters for all ages and skin types to offer optimal magnesium nutrition. Established since 2008, Elektra Magnesium® is the original and still the best loved Australian magnesium brand. Our co-founder Peter Sanderson created the very first magnesium cream in the world in 2009.
Why fight nature when we can use nature’s pure plant oils and extracts, with food grade magnesium salts, (and without toxic chemical ingredients), to support our well being with the least amount of fuss or wastage? We love to bring you and your whole family quality magnesium products that really work because they absorb well, smell divine, and feel great.
Does it sting?
In high concentrations, magnesium can sting when the skin is thin or doesn't have enough skin barrier lipids. This is why straight magnesium oil doesn't always fit every skin type!
We formulate all our skincare products with beautiful natural fatty ingredients that help to prime the skin so that it can absorb the magnesium without feeling stingy, itchy or uncomfortable.
Those with dry skin that would like to use our unique magnesium oil spray, should apply the moisturiser first, and then apply the spray over the top as these skin types may need extra fats to compensate.
Can I overdose?
The simple answer is no you can't!
The skin is the largest organ in the body and will not overdose itself on magnesium, it will sit in the epidermis of the skin like a dinnerplate and allow the body to take what magnesium it needs throughout the day without causing diarrhea like what happens with tablets and powders.
Can I use this on my kids and pets?
YES! Magnesium is essential for all ages and all life on earth.

What products for my skin type?
Normal skin types can use everything
Combination/Oily skin types normally prefer the Flakes, Mineral Drops, Cleanser, Lotion and Magnesium Creams (Island Spice, Zest-Citrus, Baby Calm)
Dry/sensitive skin types normally prefer the Flakes, Mineral Drops, Cleanser and Magnesium Creams (Herbal, Sensory Gold, Baby Calm) (The magnesium lotion may be too strong for dry skin types however try it because it usually is ok)
Hypersensitivity - normally prefer the flakes for foot soaks and baths, mineral drops for drinking water, then trial the baby calm balm. Hypersensitivity can be caused by magnesium deficiency, by restoring magnesium back into the body, over time this can help lessen the severity of the hypersensitivity.
How long before I feel a difference?
If you're magnesium deficiency symptoms result around muscle cramps, restless legs, sleep etc, you can start feeling a difference from the first day!
For those with more severe symptoms can take a bit longer as the body will be slowly refilling your reserve tank of magnesium. Day by day, week by week, month by month, things will improve.
We need magnesium every day to function properly, with over 300 jobs to do in the body and over 1000 sub jobs, magnesium is as essential as oxygen and water to the body. If you have been burning through your reserves and not replacing it, the symptoms are your body's cry for help.
If after a week you're not feeling the symptoms ease, increase your daily dose, you can't go wrong except not using enough!
How do I know if I need magnesium and how much do I use?
Short answer: everyone needs magnesium, like we need water everyday, our body also needs magnesium, it just comes down to how much.
How is this better than tablets and powders?
1. You need sufficient stomach acid to be able to digest lab-made tablet compounds and extract the magnesium ions. Tablets contain various fillers, binders, colourings and preservatives which can inhibit digestion.
2. High concentrations of magnesium do not easily cross the gut wall. Optimal gut absorption is at lower concentrations such as what would be in natural mineral water and foods.
3. Magnesium at higher concentrations in the gut attracts water, leading to loose stool and fast excretion of magnesium. When magnesium is combined with amino acids (chelated), it may be easier on the bowel due to slower transit, but it doesn't necessarily mean that all the magnesium fully transits across the gut wall to the interior so it can be taken up by tissue cells. Even the best digestive systems can't get more than 50% uptake of the magnesium in the best forms of chelated magnesium compound. At the lowest end of the spectrum is magnesium oxide, with only 4% bioavailability because it is so insoluble in water and unable to transit into cells.
5. The best use of oral magnesium tablets and powders is to treat constipation (not cramps, muscle or inflammation issues). However, that means only a very small amount makes it through to the muscles and bones of the body.
6. Magnesium chloride salt, once dissolved, is already in the right form for cellular uptake without further digestion. That’s why you can soak it up in a magnesium bath or rub it into skin via Magnesium Cream, Lotion or Oil Spritz. The skin acts as a massive reservoir able to store magnesium ions for later use by the body. This way nothing is wasted by the digestive system. It’s also an anti-ageing mineral for the skin.
