Natural Magnesium Gel for Menopause & Perimenopause Support

It takes just 20 minutes for ingredients applied to your skin to enter your bloodstream - and what you use daily matters. As Dr. Philippa Darbre's research has shown, the skin is not a passive barrier; it’s a direct route of exposure to the body’s internal systems.

That’s why our Hormone Balance Magnesium Gel is designed with intention: topical delivery, clean ingredients, and no synthetic hormones. Because what you apply to your skin doesn’t just disappear - it becomes part of your story.
Hormonal changes can show up in unexpected ways - mood swings, brain fog, hot flushes, restlessness, and even skin sensitivity. This product was created because our founder herself is navigating this stage of life - and needed a natural, topical way through the gauntlet of symptoms that come with hormonal change. With no desire for synthetic hormones or unnecessary medications, she set out to create a slow-release magnesium solution designed to support body and mind, gently and effectively. - mood swings, brain fog, hot flushes, restlessness, and even skin sensitivity.

Whether you’re navigating perimenopause, menopause, or the emotional highs and lows of hormonal shifts, the Hormone Balance Magnesium Gel was created for you.

This is Magnesium 2.0 - a slow-release, transdermal gel infused with plant-based ingredients traditionally used in Western herbal medicine to support women’s wellbeing. With a light, non-greasy texture and fast-absorbing formula, it offers topical support where your body needs it most - gently and effectively.

🌿 What Makes This Gel Different?
Unlike hormone patches, synthetic estrogen pills, or HRT creams, our gel is 100% hormone-free and designed to support your body - not override it.
Hormone replacement therapies often introduce external hormones that may suppress your body’s natural rhythm or carry unwanted side effects. In contrast, this gel delivers topical magnesium and plant-based ingredients traditionally used to support wellbeing during hormonal changes - with no synthetic interference.
Unlike oral supplements that pass through your digestive system, our magnesium gel works topically, meaning it absorbs directly through your skin. This approach helps bypass gut absorption issues and allows for more targeted delivery to the nervous system, muscles, and skin.
Plus, our formula includes:
  • Slow-release magnesium to support calm and comfort
  • 98% natural ingredients with no synthetic hormones or melatonin
  • Plant extracts traditionally used in Western herbal medicine to support clarity, emotional steadiness, and physical wellbeing
