Ancient Minerals: Pure Topical Magnesium for Everyday Use
Ancient Minerals is a range created by Enviromedica, a natural wellness company that focuses on products the body can recognise and use easily. Their approach is simple: keep things as close to nature as possible and rely on solid science to guide the process. The Ancient Minerals line reflects that philosophy, offering topical magnesium in forms that fit comfortably into daily routines.
What makes this range unique is its source. Ancient Minerals uses magnesium chloride taken from the Genuine Zechstein seabed - a deep, ancient deposit in Northern Europe that has been protected underground for millions of years. Because it sits so far below the surface, it’s isolated from modern pollution. The result is a naturally pure form of magnesium chloride, free from mercury, lead, arsenic, and fluoride.
Ancient Minerals offers different textures and concentrations so individuals with various skin types can choose what suits them best.

Not Actually “Oil” - Just the Texture
The term “magnesium oil” comes from the feel of the liquid. It isn’t an oil in the traditional sense. The product is simply a concentrated magnesium chloride solution that happens to have a smooth, almost silky texture when applied to the skin. This makes it easy to spread and ideal for topical use.
For Sensitive Skin: Gentler Options Available
Some people may feel a light tingling when applying magnesium oil or gel, especially on sensitive areas. That response varies from person to person and is normal according to the manufacturer. For a softer experience, Ancient Minerals offers magnesium lotion and bath flakes, which are milder and often preferred for children or those with delicate skin.
