How to Use Our Magnesium Sleep Spray for Best Results — Backed by Science

This Isn’t Just Another Magnesium Spray — It’s Magnesium 2.0

How to Get the Fastest, Deepest Results with Surmanti’s Magnesium Sleep Support Spray

You’ve already welcomed this internationally awarded sleep spray into your bedtime ritual — now let’s unlock its full potential. Proud recipient of not one, but two international beauty awards, this isn't just magnesium — it's Magnesium 2.0.

If you’ve ever tried magnesium oil before and felt underwhelmed, you're not alone. Many sprays are gritty, harsh, or underdosed. Surmanti's Magnesium Sleep Support Spray is a different class entirely — Magnesium 2.0 — formulated for rapid absorption, skin comfort, and deep nervous system support.


Why It Works

Freshly Made, Bottled for Potency

Every Surmanti Magnesium Sleep Support Spray is made fresh in small batches and bottled into protective black glass. This helps preserve the integrity and potency of sensitive ingredients — especially essential oils and bioavailable minerals — ensuring you get the full benefit every time you spray.

Why What Goes on Your Skin Matters

Your skin is your largest organ — and it’s incredibly absorbent. What you put on it doesn’t just sit on the surface; it can travel deep into your body. Research by Dr. Philippa Darbre (University of Reading, UK) demonstrated that ingredients applied topically could be detected in the bloodstream within just 20 minutes — particularly when applied to areas rich in hair follicles and capillaries.

This is exactly why we created a formula that’s free from endocrine disruptors, synthetic fragrances, and hormones like melatonin. Instead, we focus on fast-acting, skin-compatible ingredients that deliver real results without interfering with your body’s natural rhythms.

A Hormone-Free Alternative to Melatonin

We deliberately avoid synthetic melatonin. While melatonin can be useful short-term, it’s a hormone — and supplementing it regularly can disrupt your body’s ability to produce its own. Surmanti’s Magnesium Sleep Support Spray is completely melatonin-free and hormone-free. Instead, we support your body’s natural sleep cycle using magnesium, calming herbal extracts, and therapeutic essential oils — all without artificial fragrance or endocrine disruptors.

Surmanti’s Magnesium Sleep Support Spray isn’t just about replacing a mineral — it’s about restoring balance to the nervous system, regulating internal rhythms, and helping your body find rest again. Each ingredient is deliberately chosen and included for its synergistic role in absorption, relaxation, or cellular support.

Dual Magnesium Delivery: Magnesium Chloride + Magnesium Sulfate

Unlike standard magnesium sprays, Surmanti’s formula delivers two forms of transdermal magnesium for faster, deeper, and more complete results:

  • Magnesium Chloride — a highly bioavailable form that enters the bloodstream quickly through the skin and hair follicles. Supports calm, muscle relaxation, and melatonin production
  • Epsom Salt (Magnesium Sulfate) — long used for stress relief, detoxification, and liver support. Its sulfate content also aids cellular cleansing and fluid balance

Together, these two forms create a multi-pathway delivery system that helps replenish tissue levels efficiently and support restorative sleep.

MSM (Methylsulfonylmethane)

An organic sulfur compound that softens the skin barrier and increases cellular permeability.
MSM:

  • Enhances transdermal absorption of magnesium and botanicals
  • Soothes inflammation and skin sensitivity
  • Supports detoxification and cellular repair during rest

Black Pepper Extract (Piperine)

A powerful natural bio-enhancer that improves the absorption and effectiveness of co-applied actives. Helps magnesium, MSM, and herbs move deeper into systemic circulation without the need for synthetic penetration agents.

Therapeutic Sleep-Supporting Botanicals

This formula includes a synergy of calming plant extracts — known as nervines — traditionally used to support the nervous system, reduce restlessness, and encourage deep, uninterrupted sleep.

  • Valerian Root Extract – Eases the transition into sleep by calming the central nervous system, helping you fall asleep faster and stay asleep longer
  • Hops Extract – Offers gentle sedative-like effects, helping to quiet mental noise and settle the body
  • Passionflower Extract – Supports GABA activity in the brain, promoting emotional calm and reducing racing thoughts before bed

These plant-based nervines work alongside magnesium to help the body downshift into a restful state — naturally, gently, and effectively.

Essential Oil Complex: Grounding, Calming, Aromatherapeutic

This formula contains a proprietary blend of pure essential oils, selected not for fragrance — but for their proven ability to calm the nervous system and support deep sleep.

  • Lavender – Well-studied for its sleep-promoting, anxiety-reducing, and GABA-enhancing effects
  • Ylang Ylang – Known for lowering blood pressure, balancing emotions, and calming overstimulated minds
  • Cedarwood – Grounding and stabilizing, supporting feelings of safety and stillness
  • Sandalwood – A traditional oil used in Ayurvedic and Buddhist practices to quiet the mind and deepen the breath
  • Patchouli – Helps reduce cortisol and supports emotional regulation
  • Vetiver – A deeply earthy oil that grounds the nervous system and supports deep sleep
  • Benzoin Resin – Warming, supportive, and often used in ceremonial contexts to calm and comfort

Together, this complex works on the emotional, neurological, and physical levels — anchoring the formula in calm from the first spray.


How to Use for Deep, Uninterrupted Sleep

Step 1: Start with the Soles of the Feet and Shins

For the first 2–3 nights, spray onto the soles of your feet and your shins. These areas are ideal for gently introducing magnesium to the body:

  • The soles contain thousands of nerve endings and large pores — a grounding, calming entry point
  • The shins have thicker skin and lower sensitivity — excellent for easing in
  • This priming phase helps build tolerance and allows magnesium levels to begin rising steadily

Step 2: Expand to Thighs, Belly, and Larger Surfaces

Once your body is primed, begin spraying onto larger areas such as:

  • Thighs – large, vascular muscle groups for effective uptake
  • Abdomen – particularly useful for women with hormonal tension or digestive sensitivity
  • Back or sides of torso

These broader surfaces help distribute magnesium systemically, supporting full-body calm and better sleep rhythm regulation.

Step 3: Target High-Absorption Zones

After a few days of consistent use, you can begin targeting high-absorption points such as:

  • Wrists
  • Behind the knees
  • Along the spine
  • Ankles

These areas are rich in blood vessels and hair follicles — known pathways for transdermal absorption.

Step 4: Massage It In (Optional, but Recommended)

Gently massaging the spray into your skin helps:

  • Boost blood flow
  • Drive deeper absorption
  • Reinforce your bedtime wind-down ritual

Step 5: Use Consistently — Magnesium Banking Matters

For even faster absorption: Apply the spray after a warm shower or bath. Warm water opens up the skin’s pores and stimulates blood flow — making it easier for magnesium to penetrate deeply and reach your bloodstream faster. Bathing also helps relax the nervous system, creating the perfect foundation for deep, uninterrupted sleep.

This isn’t a one-night fix. Magnesium works cumulatively — the longer you use it, the deeper the benefit.

  • Aim for 4–5 consecutive nights to begin noticing a difference
  • Magnesium banking refers to gradually saturating your tissues so the body can call on reserves as needed
  • Some people notice changes quickly, while others may take a few weeks to experience full results — especially if magnesium levels are very low or if sleep has been disrupted for a long time
  • Once levels are built up, effects are more noticeable — and even if you miss a night, you won’t lose progress

Frequently Asked Questions

💡 Did you know? Magnesium deficiency is linked to poor sleep, anxiety, and even restless legs — yet it’s one of the most common deficiencies in modern adults.

Surmanti is an award-winning wellness and skincare brand based in Auckland, New Zealand. With over 29 years of industry experience, we formulate clean, effective, and science-supported alternatives to synthetic wellness products. Each Surmanti product is made fresh in small batches using purposeful ingredients and packaged in black glass for maximum potency and purity. With over 60 international awards, including two global beauty awards for our Magnesium Sleep Support Spray, we’re trusted by professionals and families alike for results that go beyond trends.

Q: How long will it take to notice results?
Most users begin to notice improvements in sleep quality within 3–5 nights of consistent use. Some experience relaxation effects even sooner — within the first or second night — especially when applied after a warm shower. Because magnesium builds up in the body over time, best results come from daily use for at least two weeks, allowing your nervous system to reset and your magnesium stores to replenish.

It’s also important to consider how long you’ve been struggling with poor sleep. If your body has been in a prolonged state of sleep disruption or stress, it may take a little longer to restore balance. For some, results may build gradually over 2–4 weeks of consistent nightly use — so don’t give up too soon.

Q: If I stop using the spray, how long will the effects last?
Once your magnesium levels have been replenished (typically after 2–4 weeks of regular use), your body has a "bank" of magnesium it can draw on. Many users continue to sleep well for several nights to a week or more after stopping — but over time, those levels can begin to deplete again, especially during periods of stress. For sustained results, we recommend ongoing use several nights a week as part of your long-term sleep ritual.

Q: I’m going through perimenopause and waking up all night — can this help?
Yes. Many women in perimenopause experience disrupted sleep due to hormonal fluctuations, increased anxiety, and magnesium depletion. Surmanti’s Magnesium Sleep Support Spray is formulated to support the nervous system, calm restless thoughts, and help regulate sleep patterns — all without synthetic hormones.

That said, skin can behave differently during perimenopause — becoming drier, thinner, or more reactive due to declining estrogen. Our Magnesium Sleep Spray is highly concentrated and effective, but magnesium chloride is hygroscopic, meaning it draws moisture. This can sometimes make dry or compromised skin (like feet) feel tight or flaky.

👉 Here’s what we recommend:

  • Alternate with the Sleep Support Gel, which is deeply hydrating and contains oat lipids and hyaluronic acid for slow-release calm
  • Rotate application areas — try thighs, arms, lower back, or belly (our founder sprays her tummy — it works fast on larger surfaces)
  • If using on feet, seal it in with a moisturiser or balm 10 minutes after spraying to prevent dryness while maintaining absorption

With consistent use and smart application, many women report fewer night wakings, deeper sleep, and improved calm before bed.

Q: Can I overdose on topical magnesium?
It’s highly unlikely. Your body naturally regulates how much magnesium it absorbs through the skin — taking in what it needs and leaving the rest. Unlike oral supplements, transdermal magnesium bypasses the digestive system and doesn’t accumulate in a way that leads to toxicity. That said, there’s no need to overapply — a few sprays on targeted areas is all you need to get results.

Q: If I’m already taking magnesium supplements, should I stop?
Not necessarily. Surmanti’s topical spray can be used on its own or alongside oral magnesium. In fact, many people find topical magnesium is more effective and better tolerated, especially if oral forms cause digestive upset. If you're using both, monitor how you feel — and if you’re unsure, consult a healthcare provider to determine the right balance for your body.

Q: Why is topical magnesium better than oral supplements?
Topical magnesium is absorbed through the skin directly into the bloodstream, bypassing the digestive system. This means:

  • No risk of digestive upset or loose bowels (common with oral forms)
  • Faster and more targeted delivery to muscles and nerves
  • Better for people with gut absorption issues or sensitive stomachs

Surmanti’s formula goes one step further, using absorption enhancers like MSM and black pepper extract to ensure the magnesium reaches where it's needed — quickly and effectively.

Q: How do I stop using melatonin and switch to this spray?
If you've been using melatonin regularly, it's best to transition gradually. Start by introducing Surmanti's Magnesium Sleep Spray into your nightly routine for 3–5 nights while continuing your current melatonin dose. Then, begin to reduce melatonin slowly (e.g., half dose every few nights) as your magnesium stores build. The botanical extracts in the spray support your natural melatonin cycle without artificial hormones, helping your body relearn how to rest on its own.

Q: Why does my skin tingle or sting after spraying?
That sensation is common when magnesium levels are low, or if the skin is dry, sensitive, or freshly shaved. It's not an allergy — it's a sign that the magnesium is actively absorbing. The sensation is temporary and often described as a light itching, tingling, or mild warmth.

What to do:

  • Start by spraying on the soles of the feet or shins, where skin is thicker
  • Massage the product in gently to help it absorb faster
  • If needed, apply an unscented moisturiser or body oil 10 minutes later to soothe the skin

With consistent use, this sensation typically fades within a few days as your magnesium levels begin to correct.


Q: What’s the difference between magnesium chloride and magnesium sulfate?
Magnesium chloride absorbs rapidly through the skin and directly supports muscle relaxation, melatonin production, and nervous system balance.
Magnesium sulfate (Epsom Salt) adds a secondary source of magnesium and also supports detoxification and fluid balance.
Used together, they offer dual absorption pathways — giving you faster results and better saturation.


Q: Can I use this every night?
Yes — in fact, consistent use is key. Magnesium builds up in the body over time (a process called magnesium banking), allowing for more stable sleep, fewer night wakings, and a calmer nervous system.
Think of it like topping up a tank — regular use leads to more noticeable results.


Q: Can I use this on my kids?
Yes — the spray is safe for children aged 5 and over. Start with one spray on the soles of the feet, and adjust as needed. Always patch test first.


Q: Can I use it with the Magnesium Sleep Support Gel?
Absolutely. The spray absorbs quickly, while the gel offers a slower, time-released effect. Some customers alternate between them, while others layer both for deeper support.


Q: What does it smell like?
A soothing, earthy blend of Lavender, Ylang Ylang, Cedarwood, Sandalwood, Patchouli, Vetiver, and Benzoin Resin. It’s grounding, calming, and entirely free from synthetic fragrance.


Q: Is this the same as magnesium oil?
No. Most “magnesium oils” are simply diluted magnesium chloride in water. Surmanti’s formula is a multi-phase delivery system with magnesium chloride, magnesium sulfate, MSM, botanical extracts, and absorption enhancers — designed to be gentle on skin and effective in action.


Q: Is it melatonin-free? I’ve used melatonin before and read it’s a hormone.
Yes — this spray is 100% melatonin-free. Many sleep products contain synthetic melatonin, which is a hormone that can interfere with your body’s natural production when used long-term. Our formula supports your body’s own melatonin rhythm using magnesium and calming botanicals — no hormones, no dependency.


Q: Is it addictive or habit-forming?
No. Magnesium is an essential mineral your body naturally requires — not a drug or hormone. Our formula supports your natural sleep cycle without disrupting it or causing dependency. In fact, with consistent use, many customers find their sleep patterns become more stable and resilient over time.


Q: Where is it made?
Made fresh in Auckland, New Zealand in small batches, using premium ingredients and black glass bottles to protect the formula’s potency.


Q: Why is it more expensive than other magnesium sprays?
Because it’s more than magnesium.
Most brands use one raw mineral and call it a day. Surmanti’s formula includes two forms of magnesium, absorption enhancers, pharmaceutical-grade herbs, and pure essential oils — all bottled in black glass, not plastic.
It’s more potent. More stable. And you’ll use less per application, meaning it lasts longer too.


Q: Can I apply it to my face or chest?
We don’t recommend applying it to delicate areas like the face. Stick to the soles of the feet, shins, thighs, abdomen, wrists, spine, or behind the knees.


Q: What if it doesn’t work for me?
Everyone’s body and sleep history are different — that’s why we offer our Love it or Your Money Back Guarantee. If you’ve used the spray consistently for at least 2–4 weeks and aren’t seeing results, simply reach out for a full refund. We stand behind our formula and your experience.
