Spray vs. Gel: Which Magnesium Sleep Support Is Right for You?

Why Choosing the Right Magnesium Delivery Matters
Not all magnesium products are created equal. At Surmanti, we’ve developed two highly effective options for better sleep: our fast-acting Magnesium Sleep Support Spray and our gentler, slower-absorbing Magnesium Sleep Support Gel. While both are packed with powerful botanicals and pharmaceutical-grade magnesium, each formula serves a unique purpose — depending on your body, skin sensitivity, and lifestyle.
This quick guide helps you decide which magnesium product best suits your nightly routine.
Importantly, both of our magnesium formulas harness the power of transdermal absorption - delivering minerals directly through the skin. This method is backed by research, including work by Dr. Philippa Darbre, who highlights the skin’s unique ability to absorb substances into the bloodstream efficiently, especially when applied to thin-skinned, high-blood-flow areas like the wrists, spine, and feet.
Magnesium Sleep Spray – Fast, Targeted, Deep Relief
Our hero product. The Magnesium Sleep Support Spray delivers rapid absorption through the skin’s surface, helping reduce cortisol levels quickly and effectively. It’s perfect for adults looking for fast results, deep muscle relaxation, and better sleep without melatonin.
Best for:
  • Adults who want quick results
  • Deep sleep and tension relief
  • Spraying on key absorption zones (wrists, spine, feet)
  • Those who don’t experience tingling or irritation from magnesium
Magnesium Sleep Gel – Gentle, Slow-Release, Sensitive-Skin Friendly
Think of the Gel as the Spray’s gentler sidekick. Designed for sensitive skin and slower absorption, it’s ideal for kids, those with immune challenges, or anyone who experiences tingling or discomfort with topical magnesium sprays. It’s also a great choice for bedtime massages and calming rituals.
Best for:
  • Children (under adult supervision)
  • Immune-compromised individuals
  • Sensitive or irritated skin
  • Gentle, slower-release magnesium support
  • Hydrating and massage-friendly nighttime routines
