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 Oil
Zechsal Magnesium Oil
Zechsal magnesium oil – also known as magnesium oil – is not actually an oil, but a 31% magnesium chloride solution designed for topical application on the skin. The saturated solution consists of magnesium chloride salt and crystal water as well as the natural trace elements of the Zechstein sea. The solution owes its name to its oily consistency, which gradually dissipates as it is absorbed into the skin; any salty residue can also be washed off with water. The spray nozzle is ideal for quick and direct application.
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.
Application
Application
Apply 1–2 pumps to the palms of the hands and massage into the desired areas of skin in the morning or evening. Let the oil work for 10–20 minutes, then rinse off with water.
Note: The product can be used for 36 months after opening.
Warning
Cosmetic product for external use only. May cause a slight tingling sensation on sensitive skin. Avoid contact with open wounds and the eyes. Keep out of reach of children.
Storage

Ingredients: Aqua (Water), Magnesium Chloride (31%).
How much pure magnesium does Zechstein Magnesium Oil contain?
1 litre of Zechstein Magnesium Oil contains 310ml of magnesium chloride (31%). This corresponds to a pure magnesium content of 25.55%.
One litre of magnesium oil therefore contains 1000ml x 31% x 25.6% = 79ml of pure magnesium.
With a density of 1.3kg per litre for the saturated magnesium chloride solution, this equals 79ml x 1300mg / 1000ml = 103mg of pure magnesium.
