Sweet dreams in a jar. Learn how to use our brand-new Magnesium Balm to release muscle tension, soothe headaches, and build healthy cells — all with the intention of softer, calmer bedtime routines.
What if your favorite tallow balm could relax sore muscles and promote quality sleep while delivering essential fatty acids to your skin? If that sounds like a dream, you’ll love our brand-new Magnesium Balm. Powered by grass-finished tallow and Dead Sea salt, this is the balm to reach for right before bedtime. Magnesium absorbs into the skin as a natural muscle relaxer with properties that can regulate the nervous system for softer, calmer bedtime routines.
When to Use the Magnesium Balm
The Magnesium Balm isn’t for your bathroom counter; it’s for your bedside table. Think of it as a nighttime grounding practice you can use directly on sore muscles, dry skin, and the soles of your feet. This balm is your way of creating physical space between you and the busyness of daily life.
-
Gentler bedtimes. Whether you’re doomscrolling or wrangling children at bedtime, magnesium balm is a natural remedy to calm everyone’s emotions. Pair it with red light and meditative music to model a relaxed environment to your kids.
-
Tension relief. You might not realize how much tension you’re carrying throughout the day, until you try magnesium balm. Use it on your head and neck, and massage it into the areas where you carry tension.
-
Natural headache remedy. Magnesium can help resolve tension headaches, too, and topical magnesium may act faster than supplements. Apply directly to the headache and give yourself permission to relax for twenty minutes.
-
Period cramp support. If you get period cramps, you probably need more magnesium in your diet. But for quick relief, grab your magnesium balm and apply to your core, back, and legs.
-
Soothe digestive pain. Give your stomach muscles a little break when they’re stressed out. You can apply topical magnesium to support better digestion and ease cramps.
-
Restful sleep. Magnesium can help with melatonin production and GABA activity. It doesn’t just calm your muscles; it works with the brain and hormones to build a sense of full-body calm. So, if you frequently feel unrefreshed after sleeping or wake up throughout the night, see if a quick topical magnesium balm makes a difference.
-
Grounding practice. The most restorative sleep comes when you signal to your body that it’s time to unwind. Magnesium balm and other nighttime routines build physical space between day and night.
-
Skin restoration. Beauty sleep isn’t fiction; it’s a real thing. Sleep is your body’s ultimate reset button, flooding your cells with nutrients to restore. That’s why skincare pros recommend nutrient-dense serums and moisturizers at night. The same is true with magnesium balm. Your skin should soak up the nutrients and put them to good use.
-
Post-workout routine. Make magnesium balm part of your post-workout routine to reduce sore muscles. Apply after your shower, and then again at bedtime.
-
Fast results. Topical magnesium bypasses the digestive tract, which means it can act faster than a supplement.
-
Massage. If you feel especially tight, you can habit stack your magnesium balm with a gentle massage. Release sore muscles and flood your body with restorative nutrients at the same time.
How to Use the Magnesium Balm
If you have the Magnesium Balm in hand, here’s how to use it…
-
Step 1: Scoop out a pea-sized amount of the balm (it’s super nutrient-dense, so less is more).
-
Step 2: Rub the balm between your fingers and breathe in the relaxing scents of lavender, frankincense, and thyme.
-
Step 3: Apply to dry areas, like elbows and knees, or any tense muscles. If you tend to experience headaches, apply some to your forehead and the back of your neck.
-
Step 4: Enjoy the benefits.
Key Ingredients in the Magnesium Balm
At Toups, every ingredient in our formulas has a purpose. The Magnesium Balm uses a blend of calming essential oils, grass-fed tallow skincare, and plant-based oils for fast-acting calm.
-
100% grass-fed tallow balm
Our tallow is harvested from grass-finished cows, made only from suet, and rendered at low temperatures. These standards ensure the powerful nutrients (like CLA and vitamins A, D, E, and K) aren’t lost in production. Instead, they’re delivered right to your skin. Tallow is deeply moisturizing and packed with anti-inflammatory ingredients for acne, eczema, and skin outbursts. It’s the perfect agent to deliver topical magnesium because it’s chemical-free and easy on sensitive skin.
-
Magnesium salts from the Dead Sea
Mineral deposits in the Dead Sea allow us to harvest magnesium from a natural source. Not only is this magnesium great for sore muscles and tension, it supports even skin tone, deep skin hydration, and a bright complexion. Topical magnesium absorbs straight into the skin, so it’s fast-acting for tension, headaches, and cramps.
-
White beeswax
You’ll find beeswax in a few of our other tallow skincare products. Primarily, because it helps lock in the moisturizing properties of tallow with a protective barrier. It’s in the magnesium balm, too, so the balm won’t rub off while you sleep. Beeswax comes with plenty of soothing benefits, like anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory properties. It’s sensitive-skin-approved, rich in Vitamin A, and creates a barrier without clogging pores.
-
Frankincense and lavender
Aromatherapy is a beautiful way to create space between daytime and nighttime routines. In fact, scents connect to memory and emotion, so if you use them often, they can signal to your brain that it’s time to settle in for the night. Frankincense and lavender, especially, have relaxing properties, so they promote a sense of calm.
Skin-Supportive Tallow and High-Quality Magnesium from the Dead Sea
The Magnesium Balm is so much more than a skincare product. It’s your transition to calmer bedtime routines, refreshed wake-ups, and better self-care. Envelop yourself with 100% natural ingredients and transport your skin to the therapeutic shores of the Dead Sea.
