Most magnesium butters are built on shea butter, coconut oil, and synthetic emulsifiers. Ours starts with certified organic aloe vera juice as its base, which means it absorbs faster, sits lighter on skin, and works without the heaviness or residue.
Formulated by Dawn Lancaster, certified aromatherapist, herbalist, and skincare formulator, each batch is made in Vermont with magnesium chloride flakes and certified organic lavender essential oil. Nothing synthetic. Nothing unnecessary.
Apply before bed to your legs, feet, or anywhere you carry tension. The magnesium absorbs transdermally while the lavender does what lavender does.
4 oz | 1 oz travel size available

I bought this for my 88-year-old mom, who suffers from neuropathy in her feet. She absolutely loves it and feels that it’s making a noticeable difference. She says her feet feel better after using it, and we’re very happy with the results!

The cream is very thick and smells great but not sure it helps with my muscle aches.
Store owner replied:
Thank you so much for trying our Whipped Magnesium Butter and for taking the time to share your thoughts. We're so glad the texture and scent are landing well for you, that rich, whipped feel and the lavender and pine blend are両 things we put a lot of care into.
Everyone's body responds a little differently, and how it feels for overworked muscles can vary depending on things like application amount, timing, and how it's massaged in. We'd love to help you get the most out of it, so feel free to reach out to us directly and we can walk through some tips for use. We truly appreciate you giving it a try and sharing your honest experience with us.
Love this cream - it absorbs right in without leaving a greasy feel. I use it on my daughter's feet and legs before bed and it is helping her sleep.
Store owner replied:
We love hearing this and are happy to be a soothing part of your daughter's bedtime routine. Thank you for being part of the Ballou family!
Definitely makes a difference at night applied to my inner wrists a little behind my calves . Sleeping much better and not waking up👍👍
Store owner replied:
Thank you so much for sharing and we're happy you've been able to create such a lovely little ritual. We're so glad it's become part of your nightly routine. Wishing you many more restful nights ahead!
Smells nice, subtle scent and smooth feel. Helps me to sleep.
Store owner replied:
Thank you so much for the kind words! We're delighted the scent and texture are working so well for you, that smooth, subtle feel is exactly what we hope people notice first. Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us.
Store owner replied:
Wrists at bedtime is a small ritual that does a lot, and we're so glad the feel of it is bringing you that soothing moment. A week in is really just the beginning, so enjoy settling into it. Thank you for taking the time to share this with us.
Absolutely LOVE and it works! I have neuropathy in my right arm. It is hard to sleep on the right side as I wake up in pain with pins and needles. I applied the whipped magnesium butter to my shoulder, and I slept like a baby on my right side that night! No waking up in the middle of the night to pins and needles!
Store owner replied:
This made our day. Neuropathy pain is so disruptive to sleep -- the fact that you woke up without that pins and needles feeling means everything to us. Thank you for sharing this, and we're so glad the Whipped Magnesium Butter is giving you the rest you deserve.
Very pleased to have found a US based manufacturer.
Store owner replied:
Thank you so much for sharing this. Creating products that feel calming, safe, and easy to use for the whole family is exactly what we aim for. We are so glad it has found a place in your nights.
A gentle scent, very creamy, and has helped with some leg/foot cramps at night.
Store owner replied:
That kind of ease and comfort is exactly what we aim to bring to your daily self-care routine.
It is too early for me to say yet but I think it is helping me sleep better. I will revise my rating in another month if that proves to be the case. I do love the smell and feel of the lotion.
Store owner replied:
Thank you for your thoughtful and honest feedback. We are glad to hear you are enjoying the scent and feel of the butter. With magnesium, consistency really does matter. Using it regularly over time allows your body to better absorb and respond, so many people notice the most benefit after a few weeks of nightly use. We appreciate you giving it the time it needs and look forward to hearing how it continues to work for you.
I didn't think it would do much but it sure helps with aches and pain, all of my skin is looking better even where I didn't put the cream. The most amazing thing is that my dry cracked heels are starting to get smoother. I like this cream.
Store owner replied:
We love hearing how surprised you were by the results and that it has been helping with aches, pain, and overall skin health. Noticing smoother heels and healthier looking skin is especially wonderful. We truly appreciate you taking the time to let us know how it is working for you.
I bought a magnesium cream from Amazon but then ordered yours. So much more whippy and luxurious. It does seem to be helping my anxiety. Only wish you had larger containers.
Store owner replied:
We are glad you noticed the difference in texture. That whipped, luxurious feel comes from our careful emulsification process, which allows the oils, magnesium, and botanicals to blend smoothly and absorb beautifully into the skin. It is a big part of what sets our magnesium butter apart and helps make it feel as good as it works. We appreciate the feedback on container size and will absolutely keep that in mind as we continue to grow and refine our offerings.
Store owner replied:
Thank you so much. That truly means a lot to us. We are grateful you chose to share it with others and appreciate your support more than we can say.
Smells nice and seems to help relax mind and muscle
The cream is smooth and not gritty like some other magnesium products I’ve tried. It doesn’t necessarily help me drift off but helps with my leg aches. Especially on the calves. Certainly worth a try!
Store owner replied:
We are glad to hear you are enjoying the smooth, non gritty texture. That is something we work hard to get right. It is also great to know it is helping ease the leg and calf aches, especially since everyone experiences sleep support a little differently.
Thank you again for giving it a try and for sharing your experience. Your feedback truly means a lot to us.
I have been using the Magnesium Butter for about two weeks. I have found that by putting it on my feet before bed, I do sleep better. Some nights I do wake up in the early morning hours, and have to get up for a few hours, then I go back to sleep.
I will be trying it also for stress and hoping that will help too.
Great product!
Store owner replied:
Thank you so much for sharing your experience. We really appreciate you taking the time to let us know how you are using the Magnesium Butter.
We are glad to hear that applying it to your feet before bed is helping support better sleep. Many customers find that consistent use over time helps encourage a more settled routine. Using it during moments of stress is a wonderful idea as well. Taking a few slow breaths while applying it can turn it into a calming nightly ritual.
Thank you again for your kind words and for being part of our community. We are so happy to be part of your everyday care.
This magnesium cream is so smooth and creamy. The scent is nice, not overpowering as some natural products are. I think this is helping me relax and sleep better. I put it on my lower legs, feet, vagus nerve area (chest) wrists and temples. Great product!

The "Butter" really keeps my feet so soft! So that is a nice thing, but as far as helping with sleep....well I guess I just have to give it more time....(Its only been about 3 weeks) I will certainly continue to use it! The smell is not over powering.....
Thank you!
Happy New Year!!! 2026!! May life continue to be for you.... the help and caring for others!
