Water-Dispersible, Magnesium Massage Oil


Performance. Function. Zero Residue.

A first-of-its-kind, magnesium-supplemented massage oil that leaves no residue behind. Designed by a Registered Massage Therapist with nearly two decades of hands-on experience, this oil performs like a dream — offering the perfect glide and effortless cleanup.

Magnesium absorbs best when delivered through the skin’s lipid barrier, so why not make every massage count? This functional blend supports muscle and nerve recovery while adding value to every treatment.

And as if that’s not enough — this oil also washes clean from towels and clothing, leaving absolutely no residue behind.

The Story of MEND

After nearly two decades working hands-on with skin - in massage, clinical aromatherapy, and skincare formulation - I’ve learned what really works (and what doesn’t). MEND was born from the treatment room, created to fill the gaps practitioners face every day with products that need to perform, and support muscle function.

From magnesium-enriched oils that won’t stain your clothes or towels to a pre-taping gel that cools, cleans, and supports recovery - every formula is designed to work as hard as you do!

MEND bridges the gaps in your practice - grounded in experience, driven by function, and made for real people.
