Oak & Iron Apothecary™: Topical Formulation
Magnesium Spray
Simple, convenient magnesium support for everyday life.
Embedded Files
Many of our patients were already using magnesium sprays or asking where they could find one. After hearing the same request repeatedly, we decided to create a simple, high-quality magnesium spray that reflects the same philosophy as our magnesium lotion: straightforward ingredients, easy application, and practical everyday use.
OIFA Magnesium Spray is a concentrated topical magnesium chloride spray designed for those who prefer a lightweight, easy-to-apply alternative to lotion.
The spray format makes it simple to apply magnesium to larger areas such as the calves, feet, shoulders, neck, back, and hips. Whether you're recovering from a workout, spending long hours on your feet, tackling a weekend project, or simply winding down after a busy day, OIFA Magnesium Spray offers a convenient way to incorporate magnesium into your daily routine.
How to Use
How to Use

What to Expect
What to Expect
Because magnesium spray is more concentrated than magnesium lotion, some people notice:
Tingling
Mild itching
Temporary stinging
A light salt residue after drying
These sensations are often most noticeable when first starting or when applied to dry skin.
Avoid applying to broken, freshly shaved, or irritated skin.
Ingredient list
Ingredient list
Magnesium Chloride (Magnesium Chloride Flakes)
The primary active component of the spray. Magnesium chloride is dissolved into a concentrated brine solution and used as part of a topical muscle comfort and recovery routine. Magnesium spray may produce a tingling sensation when applied, particularly on dry skin or when first starting use.
Distilled Water (Aqua)
Acts as the primary solvent within the formulation. Distilled water dissolves the magnesium chloride flakes and creates the liquid base of the spray.
Aloe Vera Juice (Aloe barbadensis Leaf Juice)
Included to improve skin feel and help offset some of the drying effects that may occur with concentrated magnesium salt solutions. Aloe contributes a smoother application experience while maintaining a lightweight spray consistency.
Liquid Germall Plus
Used to protect the finished product from microbial growth. Preservative inclusion is calculated based on total batch weight to support product stability and safety over time.
