The Purest Magnesium On Earth
Not all magnesium is created equal. Zechstein magnesium chloride is harvested from an ancient inland sea formed over 250 million years ago — sealed deep beneath the earth's surface, untouched by modern agriculture, pollution or human activity. The result is a magnesium source of exceptional purity, and it's the only kind we'd put in this cream. Each 5ml application delivers 500mg of Zechstein magnesium chloride, providing 60mg of elemental magnesium — nothing added, nothing compromised.

Made for Muscles
Burnout, overtraining, broken sleep — the modern body carries a lot. Napiers Magnesium Cream is made for both ends of the day, wherever you need it most. Massage into tired muscles after exercise to support natural recovery, and into the legs and calves before bed — especially soothing for those who struggle with restlessness or discomfort in the legs at night. Safe to use alongside magnesium supplementation.

Your Nightly Ritual
Magnesium has long been valued for its role in muscle recovery — but its relationship with relaxation runs just as deep. Traditionally associated with supporting the body through tension and stress, it is one of nature's most versatile minerals. Applied topically as part of a daily or evening ritual, Napiers Magnesium Cream is infused with lavender, chamomile and ylang ylang offering a simple, grounding way to invite a little more calm into the day. For optimal results, use as a part of your bedtime routine for a minimum of 4 weeks. Gently massage onto clean, dry skin up to 30 minutes before sleep. Suitable for use all over the body. Focus on areas such as the neck, shoulders and legs. For soothing aching muscles, massage into affected area.

Skin Hydration Meets Traditional Mineral Support
More than just a magnesium supplement in cream form, this formula blends hydrating botanical butters and oils to restore dry skin. It’s suitable for daily use as a body moisturiser, especially in areas like legs, arms, or back. Shea butter and cocoa seed butter provide rich, lasting moisture and help soften the skin with regular use. Peach kernel oil brings a lightweight, skin-compatible softness that absorbs without heaviness. Sunflower and chamomile infused oil adds a gentle, calming touch — chamomile long valued in herbal tradition for its soothing properties on sensitive or irritated skin. Vitamin E acts as a natural antioxidant, protecting the skin and supporting the integrity of the formula. Suitable for daily use across the legs, arms and back.

What you'll notice: the confidence that you're using a cream grounded in 165 years of herbalist experience and a genuine commitment to ingredient quality, rather than a generic mass-market formula.
