Gerald’s Magnesium Cream 60ml

Some days ask a great deal of a body. Gerald’s is for the hours afterwards.

Open the jar and the warmth reaches you first — clove and cinnamon, dark and resinous, turmeric turning underneath them like something earthy and gold. Then the lift arrives: menthol and white camphor, bright and clean, cutting straight through the spice. Rosemary and blue tansy sit somewhere in the middle, herbaceous and a little wild. Lavender draws the whole thing gently closed.

The cream itself is thick and slow. Magnesium chloride whipped through cocoa butter, beeswax and castor oil, with calendula and arnica infused oils folded in until it turns soft and golden. It melts the moment it meets skin.

Take your time with it. Work it in properly — into shoulders that have spent all day at a desk, hands that have been in the garden since morning, legs that walked further than they meant to. The warmth settles in first, the coolness moves through after, and the two stay with you a good long while.

For the end of a long day. Or the morning after one.

Turn the lamp down. Put the day away.
