There's a secret to this special bodywash (which you don't have to use on your entire body). It's a great way of building a sun-buffer into your skin for the summer.  Use in the shower -- just a dime-size amount on forearms or chest or balding scalp -- and rinse off.  The jojoba oil floats the zinc oxide into your skin, where it starts to build up. Use every day or every other day.

Note: This product, combined with regular use of magnesium cream, can really improve skin strength for those who are aging and experience frequent bruises and cuts. This is our experience, selling both products to people over the years. (We discontinued the bodywash because of the cap clogging, but now there's a new cap on the bottle!)

A new product in the ION line, designed to keep skin healthy and protect it from environmental toxins. Also helpful for skin showing oxidative stress and thinness from aging.  The manufacturer writes: ION* Skin Support has been shown to boost glutathione levels in skin cells. FYI, glutathione is often called "the body's master antioxidant."

Our tip: Mix with high-quality witch hazel and apply with cotton balls.  Great as a face or forearm spray -- can be used anywhere on the body.  Dr. Zach Bush's original product, now called ION, can be used topically as well, but this spray form is created specially for your skin, so give it a try!

3.4 ounce spray  $32

A natural country-style laundry product made from castile soap flakes, baking soda, borax and washing soda. No additives, leaves no residue in your washer; softens, brightens and deodorizes clothes and linens. Great for whites or colors; can be used in HE, front- and top-loading machines. Only one tablespoon needed for ordinary loads (use more for large or soiled loads).  Named after and tested by our friend Wiley who lives on a farm complete with dogs and mud. Your clothes will come out nice and clean!

Our body needs magnesium as much as it needs iodine (see Health tab). An electrolyte that serves as a mediator in many biochemical processes, magnesium also relaxes tissues, alleviating muscle and joint pain. Essential for proper neurological functionality, the most effective uptake method for magnesium is transdermal, or through the skin.

This particular magnesium cream contains rich and penetrating emollients. Made with magnesium chloride from the ancient Zechstein sea, it doesn't sting (as does saturated magnesium oil), and it feels wonderful and rich on the skin. Use liberally, on sore joints and muscles - or anywhere - and your body will appreciate it. (With grapeseed and coconut oils, shea butter, beeswax and 14% magnesium chloride.)

Simply formulated using a natural cellulose as the gel base, this 33% magnesium-chloride concentration  contains no oils and can be used topically for magnesium supplementation, as well as to relax muscles and combat stiffness and pain.

3-ounce tube  $11

Popular as a pain-relief remedy for sore muscles and stiff joints, magnesium chloride "oil" is a non-greasy 33% brine (saturated solution) that also transfers essential magnesium into your body. A great way to supplement oral magnesium, and topical/transdermal application also delivers magnesium's muscle-relaxing effect exactly where you want it. Anti-microbial, you can also use this as an inexpensive and extremely efficient underarm deodorant (will sting on the days you shave)!

8-ounce bottle $15

A very basic, very effective way to control odor and supply vital magnesium to your body! Magnesium chloride is anti-microbial, unscented and non-staining, and applied under the arms works fabulously as a deodorant. Over time, users report "not smelling at all," as regular use changes the underarm biome such that odor-causing bacteria simply stay away!
