Wondering about Melt Pain Away? 


Why is topical magnesium better than a pill?

  • Aborbs faster Magnesium is more rapidly absorbed through the skin and into the bloodstream, elevating low or depleted levels of magnesium much more quickly into your body than pills or supplements.
  • Targeted relief — Apply right where it hurts (knees, shoulders, calves). Pills act systemically; this goes where you need it.
  • Bypasses the gut — No swallowing a large tablet. Magnesium is known to have a laxative effect when taken orally.  Many people struggle with stomach discomfort.  Avoid the digestive dram with topical magnesium.  
  • Pain relieving boost —  Melt Pain Away contains capsaicin – an FDA approved pain reliever – that provides warming pain relief.  Magnesium pills don’t do that! 
  • Skin care built in — Our shea-butter base moisturizes, so your skin is soothed as muscles relax.
  • Easy to make part of your routine — Lotion-like application feels familiar and is simple to use daily.

What if I’m new to capsaicin?
Capsaicin comes from chili peppers and is an FDA-approved pain reliever that creates a warming sensation as it soothes pain. Some people are sensitive to it when they first use it. Start with a small area to see how your skin reacts.

What if I’m new to topical magnesium?

Topical magnesium can sometimes cause a slight stinging sensation until your body builds a tolerance to magnesium, so you may want to start with a little and avoid sensitive areas until you see how your body reacts.


Is it safe during pregnancy?

Yes, it is safe to use during pregnancy, however, we recommend consulting your physician before using magnesium while pregnant. Taking magnesium during pregnancy is important as it supports building of bones, regulates insulin and blood sugar levels and the functioning of enzymes. During pregnancy, appropriate levels of magnesium help to keep the uterus from contracting prematurely. Moreover, it is also helpful in reducing leg cramps.


Can children use it?
Yes, but children’s skin is more delicate. Always consult your pediatrician and patch test first.


Is it good for menopause or perimenopause?
Many customers find it helps with sleep, mood, and cramps during menopause. Magnesium is known to support hormone balance and calms cortisol levels. Read more in our specific perimenopause and menopause blogs.

Looking for some pro tips?

🔥 Pro Tip #1: Use Capsaicin Consistently

Capsaicin (from chili peppers) is not a “one-and-done” solution—it works by training your nerves to be less sensitive to pain over time. With regular use, it reduces substance P (a key pain messenger), meaning fewer pain signals reach your brain.
👉 Consistency is key: apply daily to maintain relief and prevent flare-ups.


Pro Tip #2: Apply Magnesium Where It Counts

Magnesium isn’t just for relaxation—it helps your muscles release tension and reduces cramping. When applied topically, it bypasses the digestive system, making it a great option for people who can’t tolerate high-dose pills.
👉 Focus application on tight muscles, restless legs, or cramp-prone areas for the best results.


🌀 Pro Tip #3: Massage for Maximum Effect

Think of magnesium as the “muscle relaxer” and capsaicin as the “pain silencer.” Together, they deliver a one-two punch against soreness and nerve tension.
👉 Massage the body butter into the skin for at least 20–30 seconds—this boosts absorption and increases circulation for faster relief.


🛏️ Pro Tip #4: Make It Part of Your Routine

  • Before bed: Helps restless legs and supports deeper sleep.
  • Post-workout: Speeds up recovery and calms muscle tightness.
  • Daily aches: Knees, back, shoulders—apply where you feel tension building.
