Magnesium might not get the spotlight like Vitamin C or iron, but it’s one of the most important minerals your body needs to function at its best. It helps regulate stress, supports deeper sleep, eases muscle tension, balances mood, and even assists with energy production. In short, it plays a huge role in how you feel—day and night.
But here’s the thing: most people aren’t getting enough.
Even if you eat a relatively healthy diet with foods like leafy greens, beans, nuts, and whole grains, it still might not be enough. That’s because modern farming practices and food processing have stripped a lot of the natural magnesium content from our food. What ends up on your plate just doesn’t carry the same nutritional punch it used to.
So what can you do?
While supplements are one option, they can sometimes cause digestive upset or be poorly absorbed. That’s where transdermal magnesium (applied to the skin) offers a gentle alternative.
At Lil Little, we created So Zen Magnesium Butter as a simple way to support magnesium levels through the skin. Just massage a small amount into your feet, legs, or shoulders—anywhere that needs a little tension release. It’s non-greasy, absorbs easily, and feels like a small act of care at the end of a long day.
If you’ve been feeling more tired, anxious, restless, or having trouble sleeping—magnesium deficiency might be part of the picture.
The good news? It’s something you can support with a few minutes of intentional self-care each day.
