What This Ingredient Does

Magnesium is an essential mineral involved in more than 300 enzymatic reactions in the body. It plays a key role in cellular energy production, protein synthesis, and nerve and muscle function.

For skin health, magnesium supports normal cellular repair and helps regulate inflammatory processes that can influence overall skin balance. Adequate magnesium levels also contribute to stress regulation and metabolic stability, both of which can indirectly affect skin health and resilience.

Magnesium is commonly used in oral supplements to support systemic health and is also found in topical body care products designed to promote muscle relaxation and skin comfort.
