    Hi everyone,

    I’m just a little die hard DIY lover, it doesn’t bother me if they separate eventually.

    But I do have to say I have two tubs that I made over 12 months ago (I don’t use i just wanted to see what happened to it) and it is still exactly the same as the day I made it.

    I don’t know if it has something to do with the large amount of shea butter and oil to magnesium oil ratio? Which is 75% butter/ oil to 25% magnesium oil. I just blend it for about 5-10 minutes and it ends up a lovely texture.

    I also have one other question about the magnesium oil in products.

    So if I leave magnesium chloride flakes out in an open bowl, after about 12 hours they melt to a liquid. Obviously react with the moisture in the air and turn to a liquid state.

    If I was to use that in my magnesium cream instead of making up magnesium oil, I understand I still need to use a preservative but does this make the cream potentially more stable and at less risk to attack because of the very minimal water content?

    Thank you for your help and time :)
