How are we different?
The former region of the Zechstein Sea in the Netherlands is home to some of the purest natural deposits worldwide. This natural blend of magnesium chloride deposits and trace elements are absorbed exceptionally well by the skin, making these Zechstein magnesium flakes remarkably mild.
The Zechstein mine is located above a mineral-rich brine deposit that stretches from Northern England to the Netherlands, across Germany to Russia. In the sea, which dried up 250 million years ago, the various layers of brine were deposited on top of each other in particular regions. Today, a significant layer of magnesium chloride is located below the Netherlands at a depth of roughly 1600–2000m, far from any form of environmental pollution. The 31% saturated magnesium oil has been extracted by deep drilling and water extraction methods since 1982.
Zechstein magnesium oil, which is obtained directly from the soil, can be used immediately without chemical purification on account of its exceptional quality – a major advantage over magnesium chloride obtained through salt water evaporation. Regular laboratory tests guarantee the high quality of each batch.
Magnesium Gel
Zechsal Magnesium Gel
Zechstein magnesium gel consists of approximately 30% magnesium oil and a natural gelling agent made from plant-based starch. Its unique consistency makes it particularly suitable for use in skincare, relaxation or fitness massages. Gently massage the gel in and leave it to work on the skin for at least 15 minutes. Massage improves the soothing effect on the skin. Any sticky residue remaining can be rinsed off with water.
Nourishes the Skin
Magnesium is widely known as an essential mineral for overall well-being, but it is also an exceptional ingredient for skincare. Applied directly to the skin, pure Zechstein magnesium brine offers a variety of nourishing properties and is the ideal addition to your daily body care and massage routine.
Supports Skin Hydration & Moisture Balance
When applied topically, magnesium supports the skin's natural barrier function. Regular application helps the skin retain moisture more effectively, counteracts dryness and provides a smooth, nourished feeling.
Calms & Relaxes Stressed Skin
The gentle, oily texture of the concentrated brine offers exceptional glide for massages, which in turn helps relax stressed skin – especially after exercise or physical activity – and promotes calm, balanced skin.

Ingredients: Aqua (Water), Magnesium Chloride (30%), Hydroxypropyl Starch Phosphate (Gelling Agent From Plant Starch).
How much pure magnesium does Zechstein Magnesium Gel contain?
1 litre of Zechstein Magnesium Gel contains 300ml of magnesium chloride (30%). This corresponds to a pure magnesium content of 25.55%.
One litre of magnesium gel therefore contains 1000ml x 30% x 25.6% = 77ml of pure magnesium.
With a density of 1.3kg per litre for the saturated magnesium chloride solution, this equals 77ml x 1300mg / 1000ml = 100mg of pure magnesium.
