Which one has epsom salts in it for the magnesium? I saw it on in the background of my morning this am. I didn't get all of the info and couldn't find on the site. It sounded interesting. I have been using a moisturizer and serum that I like . I wish they would offer one without fragrance in the ones offered today. I hate purchasing an item that I cannot use because it is just too 'perfumy'(my word)

@okaywitheasypay - it's today's TS - the giant bottle of body wash and the moisturizer.  I heard them talk about electrolytes being in the mix of the body wash but I quit listening so I don't know about the moisturizer.  Magnesium can penetrate through the skin but potassium and calcium cannot.  That said, I don't know how much magnesium is in the product or how much gets absorbed into the bloodstream.  Not to be a worry wart or anything, but I wonder if it's enough of a concern that one would need to adjust the amount of actual consumed magnesium?  I don't really think so, since the body cleanser is getting rinsed off, but it did come to mind since I have to be careful not to overtax my one kidney.  

@SilleeMee - any thoughts on this?

I heard her mention specifically Magnesium Chloride.  I thought that was the one that often has a GI side effect.  I take Magnesium Glycinate which doesn't have that side effect and, I think, is better absorbed by the body.  

I find it funny when they compare legs.  Of course a leg that has just been washed and buttered up is going to look better than the leg that hasn't.  And I find the washing on-air to be cringe-worthy.  Just my opinion.

The wash also contains epsom salts.

It was interesting to hear that the wash now has Magnesium and Epsom Salts in there, but how much can there be and would it really have any noticeable effect?

The amount of magnesium absorbed from body washes is minimal and not enough to make a significant difference in the amount the body has inside to the point of affecting any health issues.
