Rowe Casa Organics Magnesium Cream
This is a rich, restorative body cream made with magnesium oil, raw shea butter, and a calming essential oil blend. I think of it as a targeted body treatment rather than an everyday lotion—especially nice for evening routines, muscle comfort, and winding down before bed.
Ingredients
Raw Shea Butter; Organic Safflower Oil; Magnesium Oil; Essential Oils of Orange, Tangerine, Ylang Ylang, Blue Tansy, Patchouli.
What I Like
I like the combination of magnesium oil with deeply nourishing emollients like raw shea butter and safflower oil. It delivers moisture while supporting muscle comfort at the same time.
The essential oil blend gives this a grounding, relaxing feel that works well as part of a nighttime or self-care ritual.
The formula avoids petroleum-derived ingredients such as mineral oil and petrolatum, aligning with a low-tox body care approach.
EWG rating (EWG analyzer): 1.
Things to Keep in Mind
This contains a noticeable essential oil blend. If you’re fragrance-sensitive, the aroma may feel strong, so patch testing first is a good idea.
Magnesium oil can feel tingly for some people, especially on freshly shaved, broken, or very sensitive skin. This sensation is common with topical magnesium and usually fades, but starting with a small area can help gauge comfort.
Because of its richness and purpose, this works best as a treatment cream rather than a lightweight, all-over morning lotion. Many people prefer it on legs, feet, shoulders, or back, especially in the evening.
Sensitive Skin & Pregnancy Considerations
If you have sensitive or reactive skin, patch testing is recommended before broader use.
If you’re pregnant or nursing and prefer to be cautious with essential oils, you may choose to use this sparingly, limit application to smaller areas, or check with your provider based on your personal comfort level.
Essential oil transparency: essential oils can carry trace contaminants depending on sourcing and processing, and they naturally contain aromatic compounds that may be sensitizing for some individuals. I prioritize brands that aim for purity and minimal unnecessary additives.
