Looking for a simple and natural way to unwind at the end of the day?

This Homemade Tallow Magnesium Lotion might just become your new favorite.

Made with skin-loving ingredients, it’s rich, creamy, and feels amazing—perfect for a little evening self-care.

Why Use Magnesium Lotion?

This lotion lets you absorb it through your skin, which can be a gentle and effective option—especially if oral supplements are hard on your stomach.

Plus, the addition of tallow and almond oil helps moisturize and protect the skin.

What You’ll Need

This recipe makes about 8 ounces.

Step 1: Boil water and measure out ½ cup. Stir it into the magnesium flakes until completely dissolved. Set aside to cool.

Step 2: In a double boiler, melt the tallow and beeswax until fully combined.

Step 3: Stir in the almond oil and remove from heat.

Step 4: Allow both the magnesium mixture and tallow mixture to cool until they are about the same temperature.

Step 5: Slowly pour the magnesium liquid into the tallow mixture while blending with an immersion blender.

Step 6: Once fully combined, add the essential oils (if using) and blend again.

Essential oils are optional. Lavender or chamomile can be calming choices before bed.
You can use herb-infused almond oil or tallow to add even more skin-soothing benefits.
Store the lotion in a glass jar with a lid. It’s best used within a few months.

This tallow magnesium lotion is a simple, natural way to support wellness and give your skin a little extra care.

Tallow is rich in fatty acids that mimic the skin’s natural oils, making it excellent for dry, cracked, or sensitive skin.
It helps improve skin texture, repair the skin barrier, and lock in moisture.

Applying magnesium lotion before bed may promote relaxation and improve sleep quality, especially if you’re deficient in magnesium.

Homemade versions are free from artificial fragrances and preservatives, making them ideal for sensitive skin or kids.
