How I Created Infusion: The Story Behind My Magnesium Tallow Lotion

If you’ve ever visited my booth at the markets, you already know I love talking about skincare, ingredients, and why I make the products I do. But over the last few months, something interesting kept happening. Every single week — without fail — at least a handful of new customers would ask me the same question:

“Do you have magnesium lotion?”

At first, I didn’t. But after hearing that request over and over again, I realized it wasn’t a trend — it was a need. So I started digging.

Why Magnesium?

I knew magnesium was important internally, but I wanted to understand why people were so excited about using it topically. After some research, I learned that magnesium applied to the skin may support:

• Muscle relaxation

• Reduced tension and soreness

• Better sleep quality

• Calming restless legs

• Improved skin hydration and barrier support

Magnesium chloride (the form used in topical products) absorbs well through the skin and can deliver benefits without upsetting the stomach the way oral magnesium sometimes can. It’s simple, natural, and effective — no wonder people kept asking for it.

So I thought: What if I could combine magnesium with my tallow lotion?

That’s when I hit my first big problem.

The Challenge: Magnesium Is Water‑Based — Tallow Is Oil‑Based

Magnesium chloride flakes dissolve in water, creating what’s basically a magnesium brine. My tallow lotion, on the other hand, is made from oils and butters.

And as we all know:

Oil and water do not mix.

At least… not on their own.

So I went back to researching. I wanted a way to keep magnesium water and tallow oil blended together in a smooth, stable lotion that wouldn’t separate.

That’s when I discovered the missing piece.

The Solution: Emulsifying Wax

Emulsifying wax is a natural stabilizer that acts like a bridge between oil and water. It allows them to combine into a single, creamy, unified lotion.

Here’s how it works:

• Magnesium chloride flakes dissolve fully into distilled water

• Tallow and oils melt together into the oil phase

• Emulsifying wax binds the two phases together

• When blended at the right temperature, they form a stable lotion that stays smooth and creamy

Once I understood that, everything clicked.

I spent weeks experimenting — adjusting ratios, testing textures, refining the feel, and making sure the magnesium stayed evenly distributed. I wanted something that absorbed quickly, felt luxurious, and delivered real benefits.

And finally… I had it.

Introducing Infusion

After all the testing, tweaking, and learning, I created what I truly believe is the best lotion I’ve ever used.

Infusion is a magnesium‑infused tallow lotion designed to:

• Melt into the skin

• Soothe muscles

• Support relaxation

• Nourish deeply

• Leave no greasy residue

• Deliver the benefits people kept asking for

It’s rich, creamy, and incredibly effective — a perfect blend of old‑fashioned tallow nourishment and modern magnesium support.

And honestly? I’m proud of it.

Infusion exists because of you — the customers who kept asking for magnesium lotion, who pushed me to research, experiment, and create something new.

So thank you. And I hope you love Infusion as much as I do.
