Naturally found in seawater, mineral springs and the earth, magnesium plays a vital role in supporting the skin's natural functions. From maintaining hydration to strengthening the skin barrier, this powerful mineral helps skin look and feel at its best.
We never use tap water in our formulations. Instead, every ishga product is crafted using locally sourced Hebridean healing spring water and pure, unpolluted seawater from the shores of the Isle of Lewis, bringing naturally occurring minerals, including magnesium, directly into our skincare.
What is magnesium?
Magnesium is an essential mineral involved in hundreds of natural processes throughout the body, including those that help maintain healthy skin. While diet plays an important role in overall magnesium levels, skincare formulated with naturally mineral-rich ingredients can also help support the skin's surface.
The benefits of magnesium for skin
1. Supports the skin barrier
A healthy skin barrier is essential for locking in moisture and protecting against environmental stressors. Magnesium helps support the skin's natural barrier function, allowing skin to retain hydration more effectively while remaining resilient against daily aggressors.
2. Soothes and comforts the skin
Magnesium is often associated with calming properties, making it particularly beneficial for skin that feels stressed or unbalanced. It helps support the skin's natural recovery process, leaving it feeling soothed and refreshed.
3. Promotes a healthy-looking complexion
Healthy skin relies on a balance of essential minerals to function optimally. Magnesium supports normal cellular processes that contribute to smoother, brighter and more balanced-looking skin.
The power of seaweed and magnesium together
Our Hebridean seaweed extract works in harmony with our mineral-rich water to create skincare that deeply nourishes the skin. Hebridean seaweed is naturally rich in vitamins, minerals and antioxidants, while our spring water and seawater provide naturally occurring magnesium and other essential minerals. Together, these ingredients help replenish moisture, support the skin barrier and leave skin looking healthy, balanced and beautifully radiant.

By choosing naturally mineral-rich ingredients instead of ordinary tap water, we're able to create skincare that supports the skin with the nourishing benefits nature intended.
