Earthley Wellness, Magnesium Lotion, Parent's Picks Award-Winner, Magnesium Cream for Promoting Relaxation, Rest & Muscle Recovery, Natural, Non-Itchy, Fast-Absorbing Formula (6oz, Sensitive)

I bought this magnesium lotion hoping it might help my 7-month-old wind down at night, and it’s honestly been a great addition to our bedtime routine. After using a small amount on his belly before bed, we noticed he seemed more relaxed and started sleeping better (a win!). I also use it myself and really like it. The lavender scent is very mild — not overpowering at all — which I appreciate, especially when using it on a baby. The texture is moisturizing without feeling overly greasy, and it absorbs pretty quickly into the skin. Overall, it feels like a clean (love the safe ingredients), gentle product that works well for both me and my baby. I’ll definitely keep repurchasing.

My sister has some of this for her 1-year-old, and I was envious of the nice smell! I ended up ordering some for myself and not only does it smell great, but it actually has really improved my sleep instantly. I did some research beforehand because I know that some trendy sleep aids (like melatonin) aren't good for longterm use, but it seems like the only controversy is whether you even absorb much magnesium through the skin. And if the placebo effect is responsible, I honestly don't care. I usually wake up 3-4 times during the night on a GOOD night. When I use this lotion, it seems like I wake up once MAXIMUM, usually not at all. I don't know if it's the magnesium, the lovely smell, or placebo, but it doesn't matter to me as long as it works! I honestly might have given it 5 stars for the smell alone. That said, yes, it is an oily lotion. Which is why I don't use it as a hand creme but put it on my torso like the instructions suggest. It doesn't really moisturize, as it actually seems to leave the finger that I use to apply it feeling dry, but since that isn't why I'm using it, it isn't a big deal to me. I usually just use my favorite hand lotion after applying it to take care of the dryness on my finger/hand, and that's that. It doesn't really absorb quickly, so it's best to put it on, then wear a loose-fitting nightshirt so you don't get oil all over your sheets. This hasn't been an issue for me, but if you wear something with a tighter fit, it's worth noting. I personally would not apply it during the day due to this issue (I also don't know if it would help me sleep if not applied near bedtime, I haven't experimented).

Smells amazing. I was alarmed that it doesn’t come safety sealed but after a bit of research- that’s just how the company does it. Interesting choice and I wish they’d adjust that but overall a great product. Helps myself and my little one fall sleep when we need it

Love the product for my little toddlers. The formula is horribly greasy tho, which is not fun in the summer, especially. I bought for myself, and went right back to my trusted brand, because this one fell flat for me. So now j just use a little for my kids and it works fine for them.

Works amazing!!! It has helped my 3 month old with his sleep regression. He falls asleep faster and smoother than ever before and sleeps through the entire night no nighttime wakings. I will definitely be reordering more.

Title sums it up but to expand: I primarily brought this to see if it would help my 9mo sleep better. (Hahahaha amiright?) The sensitive version has only the faintest smell - perfect for babies. It did not irritate my skin nor that of either of my young children (ages 9mo and 4y). The lotion has a little grit to it (typical) and upon application feels slick at first then absorbs very well leaving minimal grease and sticky-ness behind. Other brands have been much worse. As for the magnesium sleep effect….nothing notable occurred on any of us after multiple nights of application: some nights my infant slept better than other nights (so nothing changed here); my toddler sleeps all night anyway; and I am up and down all night with the baby and did not feel any drowsier during those wake-ups than I usually do. So yeah, nada. I wish this was the golden cure-all for my infant’s love of nightlife - but - I’ve come to accept that there just isn’t one. Babies gonna baby. They don’t discriminate between night and day and so their needs do not change much from one hour to the next. They want their mamas 25/7. All you other sleep-deprived parents reading this: Sorry, and I feel you 100%, but your baby just needs you. You’re going to be exhausted until they grow a little more and you just gotta come to peace with that fact. Surrender to it. The best you can do is get baby into a consistent night time routine, nap when they nap (if possible), and don’t hesitate to ASK your family and friends to help whenever & wherever possible. And give yourself plenty of grace because this is the hardest job that ever was it ever will be. Sending you love and solidarity! -Sleep Delirious Mama of 2 who does not really recommend this product

We love this stuff. Works great, smells nice. Fall asleep easily and morning rituals work well. (Wink wink)

Love this stuff! My daughters and I like the smell, it's a good consistency (not too oily, not grainy), and it's easy to apply. It works great too! Our sleep has been better and we all love the ritual of putting it on every evening :)

Only rating based on package, as I have only received the product and have not used it. It came without any type of safety seal. No tape, no seal to remove, nothing. Is that standard for this company’s packaging? Or did I get a bad batch? It was not cheap so I am disappointed.

My youngest son (2 year old) has always been a restless sleeper. My other kids were sleeping soundly through the night by 1 yr but our youngest at 2 yrs was still calling for me in the middle of the night. We have been using it for 2 weeks now and from the first night we used this cream on his lower legs he has slept soundly with no wake-ups in the night. I would highly recommend giving this a try. Please don’t stop supplying it to 🇨🇦

I have been using this product for three nights and I have never had such a good sleeps. So far it is amazing. I just put a pea size on my feet and then rub the rest on my stomach and it has worked really well

It smells nice, feels very thick and rich but when you actually get it on your skin, it’s really greasy. This is my first day using it so I’m not sure if it’s going to make an actual difference or not, but we’ll see. Update: Slept through the night no problem at all with calm legs. Lotion did soak into my skin after a bit so for whatever the reason, it worked! YAY!

it arrived grainy with lumps in it- not sure if that’s normal or not. works great for leg cramps or discomfort in the night. by the 2nd night it was working on my calves. i notice on nights when i forget to use it. would purchase again.
