FAQ

What is magnesium oil?

Despite its name, magnesium oil isn't an oil at all. It's a concentrated solution of magnesium chloride and water that feels a bit salty on the skin. It's easily absorbed when sprayed topically and is a simple, effective way to support your magnesium levels.

How do I use magnesium oil?

Spray directly onto clean, dry skin. We recommend starting with the soles of your feet. As your body gets used to it, you could also apply to your legs, stomach, back - anywhere that is holding tension. Massage in gently and allow it to absorb. We recommend starting with 2-4 sprays and adjusting as needed. For best results, use daily - especially before bed. Check out the Getting Started page for more details.

What are signs of magnesium deficiency?

Magnesium plays a role in hundreds of processes in the body, so when levels are low, it can show up in different ways. Common signs include:

  • Trouble falling or staying asleep
  • Restless legs or frequent cramps
  • Low energy or fatigue
  • Mood swings, anxiety, or feeling on edge
  • Headaches or migraines
  • Muscle twitches or tension
  • PMS symptoms or hormonal imbalance

If any of these sound familiar, your body might be asking for more magnesium. Topical magnesium is an easy, effective way to gently top up your levels and support overall wellbeing.

Where do you source your ingredients from?

We keep our formula beautifully simple: just high-quality magnesium chloride and pure-distilled water.

Our magnesium chloride is harvested from a pristine lake on the Tibetan Plateau - one of the most remote and unspoiled regions in the world. The altitude, lack of industrial activity, and naturally occurring deposits mean we can access a pure, high-potency source using traditional solar methods that are sensitive to the environment.

Every batch is rigorously tested for purity and heavy metals, so you can trust what you’re putting on your skin is safe, clean, and effective.

We blend this with pure-distilled water sourced right here in New Zealand. It’s been through advanced purification to remove trace minerals and impurities making it incredibly soft on the skin and ideal for sensitive bodies.

How will magnesium oil help me and my family?

Magnesium oil is a simple, effective way to support your family’s wellbeing - naturally.

For teenagers and adults, it can help ease muscle tension, promote deeper sleep, calm the nervous system, and reduce symptoms of stress, anxiety, headaches, PMS and menopause. Applied topically, it’s quickly absorbed - so you get the benefits without needing to take supplements.

Our Little Ones formula is made specifically for younger, more sensitive skin. It can help soothe growing pains, calm restlessness, consolidate sleep cycles and support a more settled bedtime - so everyone in the house has a better chance of a good night’s sleep.

Because magnesium plays a role in over 300 essential functions in the body, regular use can help the whole family feel calmer, more balanced, and better supported - day and night.

Does it sting or tingle?

Some people experience a tingling or itchy feeling the first few times they use magnesium oil - this is very normal, and often an indication they're low in magnesium. It typically settles as your levels improve. If it's uncomfortable, try applying it to less sensitive areas like your feet, or over a light layer of moisturiser or oil. If it's really uncomfortable, wipe off with a warm cloth and go back to just using it on your feet for another couple of weeks.
Please avoid applying to broken, irritated or freshly shaved skin, it will definitely sting!

Where should I apply it?

You can apply magnesium oil to most areas of your body - arms, legs, stomach, back, or wherever you have muscle tension. Avoid sensitive areas, broken, irritated or freshly shaved skin and your face / eyes. If you're new to using magnesium oil, we recommend starting with applying it to the soles of your feet for a couple of weeks which will help promote relaxation and better sleep. You can then spray on the other areas mentioned as and when needed.

Can I use it during pregnancy or breastfeeding?

Magnesium is an essential mineral during pregnancy and if you are breastfeeding. Many women find it helps with sleep, cramps, and restlessness. Juno is 100% natural, made in NZ with premium magnesium chloride and pure distilled water - there are absolutely no hidden nasties in our products. However, we are not doctors and always recommend checking with your midwife or GP provider before using.

Is it safe for kids?

Absolutely! Juno was born out of a search to find a natural way to help ease our son's growing pains and get deeper, more restorative sleep. We created our gentle Little Ones formula especially for children. It's the same pure magnesium, just at a lower concentration, designed with sensitive and growing bodies in mind. And it saves you having to worry about diluting the original formula.

How long does it take to work?

Some people notice big improvements straight away. Most find they sleep better or feel less muscle tension after just a few uses. For others, it can take a couple of weeks of consistent use to feel the full benefits.

Everyone's body is different - so give it time, stay consistent, and listen to what works best for you.

Does it have a fragrance?

We opted to keep our formula completely fragrance-free. No added scents, essential oils, or fillers. Just 100% pure magnesium chloride and pure-distilled water, nothing else.

Can I use it with other supplements or medications?

Topical magnesium is 100% natural and generally safe to use alongside supplements or medications. While it's always good to be mindful of how much you're using, your body naturally absorbs only what it needs - so it's unlikely you'll overdo it. That said, we are not medical professionals. If you're taking medication or have specific health concerns, it's always best to check with your GP first.

How should I store it?

Keep your magnesium oil somewhere cool and dry, out of direct sunlight. Your bedside table or bathroom shelf is perfect.

Do you offer returns?

Yes! We know trying something new can feel like a bit of a leap. At Juno we spent a long time perfecting our formula and we're confident it can support your overall wellbeing.

That's why we have a 60-day restful sleep guarantee. If you've used it consistently and as directed but you're not loving it, let us know - we'll make it right.
