Product Info
Junior Mag is a gentle magnesium body butter made specifically for children ages 3–12 — formulated with half the magnesium concentration of our original Soothe Mag so it works with young, sensitive skin without overwhelming it. When your child comes home with achy legs after a long day, wakes up from nighttime growing pains, or can't seem to settle their restless legs at bedtime, Junior Mag gives parents a natural, simple option they can feel good about reaching for. Unscented and clean, it absorbs without fuss and leaves no heavy residue behind.
Not recommended for infants or children under 3. For children under 3, or if you have specific health concerns, please consult your pediatrician before use. Contains arnica extract, which is not recommended for use on infant skin.
What Makes Junior Mag Different
Every other magnesium butter in our line is formulated for adults. Junior Mag is the only one built from the ground up for children ages 3–12. Starting with our original Soothe Mag base, we cut the magnesium concentration in half to create a formula that is gentle enough for children's sensitive skin. No essential oils, no strong fragrance, no ingredients that don't belong on young skin. Just a soft, unscented butter that parents can apply with confidence.
What Junior Mag May Help With
- Growing pains in the legs and calves

How to Use
Scoop a small amount and warm between your palms. Massage gently into your child's calves, thighs, or the soles of their feet. For younger children, apply to the back of the legs and avoid hands to prevent accidental eye contact. Use nightly before bed or after activity for best results. Before first use, we recommend doing a small patch test on the inner arm and waiting 24 hours to check for any skin sensitivity.

FAQ
Is Junior Mag appropriate for young children? Junior Mag is formulated specifically for children ages 3–12, using half the magnesium concentration found in our adult formulas. It is unscented, free of essential oils, and made with gentle ingredients suited to young, sensitive skin. For very young children, children under 3, or children with specific health concerns, we recommend consulting your pediatrician before use. As with any new topical product, we suggest doing a small patch test on the inner arm before regular use.
How is Junior Mag different from your other magnesium butters? Every other magnesium butter in our line — Soothe Mag, Night Mag, Ultra Mag — is formulated for adult use. Junior Mag is the only formula in the line made specifically for children ages 3–12. It starts with our original Soothe Mag base but uses half the magnesium concentration to keep it gentle. It is also completely unscented with no essential oils, which makes it a cleaner fit for kids who are sensitive to fragrance.
When should I apply Junior Mag to my child? Most parents find the best results applying Junior Mag right before bed. Massage it into the calves, thighs, or the soles of the feet as part of a winding-down routine. It can also be applied after sports, school activities, or anytime your child is complaining of achy or tired legs. Consistent nightly use tends to give the most noticeable comfort over time.
Will Junior Mag feel greasy or leave residue on my child's skin? No. Junior Mag is formulated to absorb smoothly without leaving a heavy or greasy feel behind. A small amount goes a long way — warm a little between your palms before applying and it will melt right in. It's the kind of texture that feels comfortable under pajamas and won't transfer all over the sheets.
How much should I use for my child? A small scoop — about the size of a pea to a hazelnut depending on the area — is plenty for most children. Start with a small amount, massage it in gently, and add a little more if the skin hasn't fully absorbed it. Less is more with Junior Mag, and the 4oz jar goes a long way with consistent nightly use.
