Money Report: While Butter Me Up Organics Magnesium Lotion is not the least expensive option, it is actually very reasonable when you consider the magnesium dosage. However, worth noting that many of these lotions just list roughly how much magnesium is in a ‘grape sized portion’ or ‘1 tsp’, without a real listing on its packaging, so we need to just take them at their word.

We're on a mission to reduce our personal carbon footprint with small, hopefully easy, changes in our home to fight against climate change. This means we're looking for products that may be all natural, ideally zero waste, reusable or compostable -- while still being affordable!
