Designed to support the skin’s natural barrier, this cream helps protect against the harsh effects of weather, detergents, and alcohol-based sanitizers, making it especially beneficial for those who frequently wash or scrub their hands. It works as a daily moisturiser, massage cream, natural deodorant, and transdermal magnesium supplement, offering true all-in-one skin and muscle care.

Made with food grade magnesium chloride and infused with essential oils of ylang ylang, patchouli, and rose geranium, the cream delivers a light herbal aroma that is cosy, comforting, and deeply relaxing. Special herbal extracts act as a natural antibacterial preservative, ensuring freshness without synthetic chemicals or petrochemical ingredients.

Suitable for all ages, from toddlers to the elderly, this gentle magnesium cream provides a rejuvenating, silky finish with lasting comfort. Whether used for daily skincare, muscle recovery, relaxation after exercise or magnesium supplement, it supports you to RELAX, RECHARGE, and RECOVER

How to Use

Massage into skin on the face, body, or muscles as needed. Use before and after exercise to support muscle recovery.

Suitable for daily use by all ages. Reapply as required for comfort, hydration, and magnesium support.

Note: Elemental magnesium means the single ion of magnesium, not including the extra chloride ion that comes packaged with magnesium chloride flakes. The elemental magnesium content is generally 12-16% of magnesium chloride natural salt depending on the original source water concentration. Therefore if there is 500mg of magnesium chloride per gram listed on the label, this will generally be around 60mg of elemental magnesium per gram. So make sure you're comparing apples with apples. 😉

How To Use

How to Use Magnesium Cream

Use as much as you like.

The skin will take up what it can handle at any one time, according to the capacity of the collagen structure. The body draws from the epidermis what it needs, but does not overdose itself. Your body gives you feedback, so use as much as it takes to feel the difference. Generally speaking, the more stress one is under, the greater the body’s needs for magnesium replenishment. 

All Elektra Magnesium Creams can be used for:

  • Getting magnesium into the body through the skin
  • An all-over anti-aging moisturizer
  • Face and body cream
  • Anti-acne cream
  • Underarm deodorant
  • Skin-soothing and smoothing cream
  • Pre- and post-sun skin care (for best hydration, use before sun exposure)
  • Massage cream to alleviate and soothe muscle and joint tightness caused by
  • pain, cramps, or repetitive stress areas
  • Massage cream for relaxation and promotion of better sleep

Elektra Magnesium Cream works excellently as a hydrating moisturizer and protective skin care, helping to plump up the skin, balance pH levels, and support the body in replenishing collagen and elastin. If you want to smooth out lumpy or bumpy skin, this magnesium cream provides the nurturing and nutritional support needed for skin recovery, a healthy glow, and a more youthful complexion.

Use Elektra Magnesium Cream in your relaxing muscle massage to relieve tight or sore muscles and joints, promoting better sleep and recovery from stress. It can be safely used by people of all ages, including babies, children, pregnant women, and the elderly. This luxurious cream has a buttery finish, is very protective of the skin barrier, and helps soothe and smooth stressed skin. It’s the go-to choice for individuals with sensitive or irritated skin in need of tender loving care! Elektra Magnesium Cream is recommended by hundreds of massage clinics and professionals for its skin care support, anti-aging rejuvenating effects, and its ability to promote relaxation and relieve stress.

Elektra Magnesium Cream

Designed and developed by our formulating chemist Peter Sanderson way back in 2009, Elektra Magnesium Cream was a ground-breaking innovative achievement.

Peter Sanderson - Founder Story - Video

The Herbal version was the first of its kind that combined several plant oils, butters and extracts successfully with infusion of 15% magnesium chloride. It was stabilized using novel processes, and without resorting to chemical emulsifiers and preservatives such as phenoxyethanol, dimethicone, parabens or other cheap toxic petrochemical ingredients. Elektra Magnesium Creams features over 20 nutritious ingredients and provide high fat content to protect the skin barrier and facilitate efficient transdermal magnesium absorption. It is still Australia's most popular and best loved magnesium cream, packed full of nutrition and easy to absorb for skin barrier protection, moisturisation, and smoother, refined, and more youthful looking skin.

The original and still the best since 2009!

Natural anti-ageing skin care

Magnesium skin care is a revolution in skin health and beauty maintenance. One of the reasons magnesium keeps us younger and more ‘juicy’ longer is because it is used to synthesize collagen, which is a protein scaffolding that forms structures to hold moisture and other nutrients in skin, nails and bones to organs, muscles, ligaments, cartilage, lung sacs and blood vessels…(Read more)

Benefits of MAGNESIUM MASSAGE to relax, recharge and recover.

Magnesium massage therapy offers important health benefits via blood and lymph circulation, waste clearance and detoxification, as well as relief of tension, stress and pain, which alleviates inflammation and promotes faster recovery from injury. Studies have shown that when magnesium is low, too much calcium settles in the soft tissue (muscles, ligaments, skin and endothelial linings) or joints of the body, causing stiffening via hypercalcemia. Athletes can be more prone to magnesium deficiency due to the excessive stresses of endurance exercise. Hypercalcemia and magnesium deficiency lengthens time of healing from injury and inflammation, whereas sufficient magnesium can support recovery faster. Magnesium massage promotes better circulation, flexibility and muscle recovery.

MAGNESIUM CREAMS TO CALM, NURTURE AND REVITALISE STRESSED, DRY FLAKEY SKIN incl ECZEMA, PSORIASIS, DERMATITIS, or ITCHY RASH

Magnesium helps to build collagen, which can hold more lipids and water for skin barrier hydration and protection. Also, it's a good idea to avoid exposure to known synthetic and petrochemicals, as well as harsh detergents and alcohols, which tend to aggravate sensitive skin conditions.

Although pure magnesium oil can feel bitey and itchy at high strength, the secret to getting better magnesium absorption into skin is the blend of plant oils that carry the magnesium chloride salt in mild concentration, and help it pass into the epidermis. This is what Elektra Magnesium Cream does so well. The skin loves it and devours it thankfully. Being able to absorb more magnesium transdermally can help your body to re-balance itself and become more tolerant to stress. Here is a way for you to tread slowly and safely to support your body's needs for recovery from stress and magnesium deficiency, at the same time receiving premium anti-ageing skin care support.

Daily application and absorption of magnesium is a convenient and very safe way to supplement the body's needs of magnesium.

GENTLE ULTRA-LIGHT MAGNESIUM TREATMENT FOR HYPER-SENSITIVE SKIN

STAGE 1. Magnesium chloride flakes (food grade) for footsoaking and bathing (at least 2-3 times per week): MAGNESIUM IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT FOR THE BODY'S DETOXIFICATION SYSTEM AND TO SUPPORT THE LIVER. By soaking in magnesium bath water your body will not only have the opportunity to take up magnesium at its own pace (without further digestion), but also to excrete toxins via skin. Drinking adequate magnesium water every day (ie. similar to natural spring water) also helps your body to become better hydrated and able to flush out wastes. Magnesium flakes (food grade) can also be used to make your own magnesium drinking water. Make sure to avoid drinking fluoridated chlorinated tap water as these chemicals will kill beneficial gut bacterial. The chemicals also block and bind up magnesium. 

STAGE 2. Add on the use of Baby Calm Balm (which is ultra light at only 1/3 of the magnesium as the standard Magnesium Creams). 

STAGE 3. Then after a while you can try moving up to Herbal Elektra Magnesium Cream as a moisturiser to soothe and protect dry sensitive skin. Herbal Magnesium Cream has more magnesium, but also a richer fat content to help buffer the salts. Many people find the Herbal Magnesium Cream the 'go-to' cream to try first for sensitive or extra-dry skin. This one is our most popular cream being used and promoted via practitioner clinics Australia-wide. Do not apply directly to broken, open or weeping skin, but work the cream in around the injured area. Start with one teaspoon a day and then over a few weeks increase to 2 teaspoons daily (once or twice a day) for skin maintenance... You can also use the Baby Calm Balm as a face cream, and use the Herbal Magnesium Cream as a body cream. It's a matter of experimenting to see what works best for your needs. There is no limit as to how much you use. The creams are well absorbed, feel so good on the skin, and help to maintain a more youthful looking complexion. The more stress we have to deal with, the higher are the magnesium demands to support recovery. Excessive stress triggers more inflammation and skin sensitivity. Magnesium helps to restore reserves to bring us back to equilibrium. Everyone will have differeng needs. One T-shirt doesn't fit all. Here is an interesting article about magnesium and the skin


Gently massage in for period cramp

Symptoms of Pre Menstrual Tension PMT) or the inflammation of Endometriosis is exacerbated by magnesium deficiency. Magnesium is a natural anti-inflammatory. Giving your body a little help with relaxing magnesium massage can soothe pain, sensitivity and bloating by helping blood circulation and delivery of magnesium to cells. Your craving for chocolate at that time of the month could be because of magnesium deficiency - but you can get a lot more magnesium from Magnesium Cream!


Pregnancy case study (download pdf)

See how Michaela changed her lifestyle to all natural highly nutritious regime, with daily magnesium massage and skin care - particularly on tummy area to maintain stretch capacity and resilience of skin. With her skin type being highly prone to stretch marks she had been concerned, but happily reported (with photos) that there were no stretch marks after her pregnancy. She also enjoyed a healthy pregnancy, using transdermal magnesium daily to massage tired sore muscles for relaxation and to promote better sleep.

Happy mum; happy baby.

Magnesium Cream for pregnancy and breast-feeding mothers


Building cells and providing energy for growing babies...

Pregnant women, in particular, greatly benefit from using transdermal magnesium due to the higher magnesium demands of growing a baby in the womb, as well as the feeding demands of baby. We all know that breast feeding is a better stronger support for a developing immune system, but what does Mum have to support her own needs?

Foods are generally lower in magnesium today compared to over 50 years ago. We also lose a lot of magnesium under stress, and pregnancy presents a big stress for the body that can take some time to recover from. By using transdermal magnesium we can give the body the opportunity to take up from the skin the nutrition it needs for recovery, and in its own time. Nothing is being pushed artificially into the body. It just happens naturally and gently. CAUTION: Avoid applying to open wounds or nipple area where baby feeds. Time to RELAX and really enjoy your pregnancy, birth and beautiful new member of the family!

Economical

Enjoy an all-over luxurious natural moisturizer for face and body, which can deliver more magnesium (250-300mg per two teaspoons cream rubbed all over the body) than tablets and powders can get through the gut wall. It can also be used as an underarm deodorant! (Is there anything this cream cannot do?)

Before & after sun skin recovery

Elektra Magnesium Cream is high in plant fats which help to hold moisture in and protect skin. The infused magnesium works inside the skin to support cell repair and recovery. The presence of lipids and magnesium also promote production of vitamin D in the skin. Vitamin D is then absorbed into body from skin.

NOTE: Magnesium Cream is not a sun block and one should be mindful about safe length of time in sun, appropriate for skin type. If you do get a bit of sunburn, apply extra thick layer of magnesium cream for soothing cool comfort and extra hydration.

Studies Recommend Magnesium for Headaches 

Magnesium For Headaches Is Considered A Natural Remedy

Pain is a factor that people deal with all around the world, using all sorts of products to relieve them. However, many don’t consider using magnesium for headaches. Magnesium is an essential mineral that is required by the body. Ultimately, it’s responsible for the operation of several biological processes and brings hydration into cells, which avoids dehydration and consequent tension. Magnesium also improves blood circulation, which is heavily dependent on the right electrolyte balance. The problem is we don’t supply our body with enough magnesium nutrition via the food we ingest. 

Benefits Of Headache Relief

Studies have shown that people with low magnesium levels are susceptible to headaches and migraines. A 2018 Review found: "Prophylactic treatment of migraine by means of high levels of magnesium dicitrate (600 mg) seems to be a safe and cost efficient strategy in clinical use." Research has been continuing in the use of magnesium for headaches. A 2020 Review concluded: "Migraine is usually related to low amounts of Mg in serum and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). Deficits in magnesium have significant role in the pathogenesis of migraine. Mg has been extensively used in migraine prophylaxis and treatment."

The lack of magnesium affects neurotransmitters and prevents blood vessel constriction, which results in migraines. Regular doses of magnesium are shown to reduce migraines by 40%. Apart from assisting with relieving stress headaches, using magnesium regularly has several other benefits. 

  • Magnesium assists with lowering your blood sugar levels, thus reducing the risk of Type 2 diabetes. Research has demonstrated that a magnesium deficiency contributes to poor insulin resistance hence causing Type 2 diabetes. Even though more clinical research is required to treat diabetes with magnesium, preliminary studies have shown there are positive results. 
  • Most people focus on calcium for the health of their bones; however, the wonder mineral, magnesium, assists with improving the strength of bones. It increases bone density, which decreases the risk of diseases such as osteoporosis. Apart from directly assisting with bone crystal formation, magnesium regulates the calcium and vitamin D in the body, which controls the health of bones. 
  • If you’re a fitness fanatic, magnesium is crucial to the recovery of your muscles. The processes that assist you with working out is the removal of lactic acid and boosting muscles with glucose and energy. Intake of magnesium increases your cellular hydration, electrolyte balance and muscle performance levels if you’re at the gym or playing sport regularly. 

What To Expect From Elektra Magnesium Regarding Natural Ways To Relieve Migraine Headaches

We discovered a huge amount of magnesium research indicating the crucial role that magnesium plays in our overall health, and so decided to pursue the development of an innovative line of products that would assist people from all walks of life with several issues. Instead of taking magnesium orally, which eventually winds up at the back of your cupboard never to be seen again after the first two weeks, we developed entirely natural, vegan-friendly and effective products to provide enough magnesium for your body naturally.

  • We are pioneers in bringing transdermal magnesium treatments to Australia. All our products are free from chemicals and are completely natural. We source our material from the world’s 15% certified food grade magnesium chloride. The flakes are tested and have shown no presence of mercury nor lead in parts per billion. 
  • Our products offer your body more than just minerals. Since we supply topical products, when you apply it to your skin, you receive natural skincare support, relaxing muscle care and an effective method of transporting magnesium into your cells. The products are convenient, thus ensuring we receive our daily dose of magnesium using an everyday product. 
  • We have an online store that’s easy to navigate and provides detailed information on all our products. The checkout process is simple, and we’ll deliver to any location in the world. Our product range is available at over 300 locations in Australia, the UK, and the USA. 

About Elektra Magnesium

Our family operation commenced in late 2008 with a commitment to developing high-quality natural body care products containing magnesium. We understood that people were not taking in the correct amount of magnesium, and that pill supplements were expensive, not efficient and used for a only short time. Our goal was to create natural magnesium body care products that would be used regularly for skin care and relaxation, but also provide the body with its essential minerals. Contact us for an innovative solution to your magnesium requirements.

Difficult to digest if not enough stomach acid. High concentration cannot pass across gut wall. Can cause diarrhea. Limited digestion and absorption takes hours.

POTENCY

Optimal potency can be achieved by using different magnesium products and combinations to suit skin types and needs.

Lower potency due to dilutions to offset skin irritation. Or put up with skin irritation with stronger dose.

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.

Take the magnesium QUIZ
Does it sting?

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. The better condition of the skin, the easier it is to absorb more magnesium salt. Good fats make a big difference to absorption.

If you have hypersensitivity, we recommend starting with the flakes for foot soaks and baths, plus the mineral drops for your drinking water. Then once you have started to rebuild your magnesium stores, trial out our most gentle cream, the Baby Calm Balm.

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.

0-3 Years - Baby calm balm, Flakes and Mineral drops for drinking water.

3-14 Years - Baby Calm Balm, Flakes, Mineral drops for drinking water, Cleanser and Magnesium creams.

14-16 Years - Baby Calm Balm, Flakes, Mineral drops for drinking water, Cleanser, Magnesium creams and Lotion

16+ Years - Baby Calm Balm, Flakes, Mineral drops for drinking water, Cleanser, Magnesium creams, Lotion and Spray

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.

The story behind Elektra Magnesium

Surprised how many people have these issues? Heart racing for no reason? Skipping a few beats? Involuntary muscle twitches? Sleep problems? Losing focus; brain fog? Can’t handle
stress? Fatigue? Wired but tired all the time? Stiff and achy? It doesn’t need to be this way.

I was told by my cardiologist years ago to, “Put up with it like everyone else. We have no treatment for you because your blood pressure is too low, and if we give you heart slowing drugs they could give you a heart attack. Your heart structure is normal and vascular system is clear.” He added, “You would be surprised how many other people have this problem. It’s just a twitch in the left ventricle of your heart, like a twitch in the eye.”
