EVOH is a water-soluble polymer and lines all BetterYou Magnesium Flakes resealable pouches. Its biodegradable properties allow our pouches to be 100% recyclable. The first of their kind.
Unlike other pouch linings, BetterYou pouches do not contain chlorine, dioxins, toxic gases or harmful metals but are composed of carbon, oxygen and hydrogen. They are even more efficient as our linings have a 10,000 times greater gas barrier than standard LDPE film hence preserving Flake freshness while helping to reduce waste.

The BetterYou Source
BetterYou Zechstein magnesium chloride comes from a natural source, deep inside the Earth’s crust. It has been protected from man-made pollutants for over 250 million years, ensuring quality and purity.
Our lavender and chamomile essential oils are sourced from crops grown in the UK.
Formulated in Great Britain, Made in the USA.
against animal testing.
The magnesium chloride we use is a solution mined in Veendam in the Netherlands. It is mined from an ancient seabed that has been condensed and purified for over 250 million years. To mine the magnesium chloride, spring water is carefully pumped down to dissolve the seam and the solution is brought up to the surface. This solution is the foundation of our Magnesium Body Sprays, Lotions, and Flakes.
Our magnesium products have been developed to be applied directly to the skin, so we do not recommend taking them orally.
There are no contraindications with any of our transdermal magnesium products.
Transdermal magnesium is perfectly safe to use during pregnancy with no restrictions on dosage levels during this time.
All our Magnesium products are suitable during pregnancy and breastfeeding.
No. You do not need to worry about overdosing when using transdermal magnesium as upper limits are only set when using the product orally.
Large doses of oral magnesium can have a laxative effect due to it being a natural relaxant, however this is avoided when using magnesium applied to the skin.
Toxic symptoms from increased magnesium intake are not common as the body eliminates excess amounts, unless there are serious problems with kidney function.
