Magnesium bisglycinate

What it is

Magnesium Bisglycinate is a powder that dissolves in water. In this compound, magnesium is held by two molecules of glycine, the simplest amino acid. This chelated form is gentle and dissolves fully, which makes it convenient for clear products. This listing is a raw material for topical cosmetic products; choose a cosmetic grade and confirm purity on the CoA.

It is part of our cosmetic actives catalog. For bath soaks and body care it is often blended with magnesium chloride, and in foot creams with urea for a smoother look of rough skin.

Cosmetic uses

Magnesium is a popular mineral theme in bath and body care. Typical formats are mineral face masks, bath soaks and bath salts, spa products, body lotions and body sprays. Mineral-rich products tell a story of a calm, pampering ritual and soft, comfortable-feeling skin. Keep product wording about the experience and how the skin feels.

How to work with it

Dissolve the powder in the water phase. It suits clear gels, sprays, lotions and powder bath blends. Check the final pH and the effect on viscosity in thickened products. Use the level given on the CoA.

Range ideas

A bath soak, a body lotion and a mineral mask can share magnesium bisglycinate and a relaxing spa theme. Lavender and chamomile scents and a soft, non-sticky after-feel strengthen the ritual.
