Naka Platinum Soothing Magnesium + MSM Cream with Castor Oil, Helps Soothe Tired and Overworked Muscles, 120-240ml

NAKA Platinum Soothing Magnesium + MSM Cream Details

NAKA Platinum Soothing Magnesium + MSM Cream is a rich yet fast-absorbing topical for everyday muscle comfort and relaxation — magnesium chloride and MSM in a base of coconut, mustard seed and castor oils, with menthol for a cooling finish. The 240 ml jar is made to be massaged into the neck, shoulders, back and legs, and helps soothe the feeling of tight, tired or overworked muscles while leaving skin soft and hydrated.

This is a topical, not a supplement: no serving size, no dose to count, nothing to swallow. You use it where it aches, as often as the day calls for — after a workout, through a long afternoon at a desk, or as the last step of an evening wind-down. The texture is the quiet selling point: a cream heavy enough to massage with that still absorbs without leaving a greasy film. Made in Canada.

Quick Facts

Who This Magnesium Cream Is For

• Active adults who want something to work into tired muscles after training rather than another capsule
• Desk workers and drivers with the neck-and-shoulder tightness of holding one position all day
• Anyone who likes a magnesium step in an evening routine and would rather rub it in than drink it
• People who find magnesium oil sprays too slick or tingly and want a cream base over a larger area
• Anyone who wants a muscle cream that doubles as a moisturizer — castor and coconut oils leave skin conditioned

Who this product is NOT for: Anyone trying to raise their magnesium intake. How much magnesium crosses skin is not established and we will not put a number on it — if intake is the goal, an oral form with a stated dose is the honest answer, such as NAKA Platinum Magnesium Bisglycinate 200mg. It is also not a joint supplement: a cream works only where you rub it in, so for support over time see NAKA Platinum MSM 1000mg. And the menthol here is a gentle cooling note, not the full capsicum-and-wintergreen heat treatment.

Vitamart's Take

We stock this because it fills a space most magnesium topicals miss. One side of the shelf is magnesium oil sprays — quick to apply, slick, prone to tingling anywhere freshly shaved. The other is heat rubs built on capsicum and wintergreen, loud and smelling of a physio clinic. This is neither: a proper cream you can massage with, scented only by the menthol, that disappears into skin instead of sitting on it.

What we will not do is make the claim this category usually makes. Naka's own copy is careful and so are we: this soothes the feeling of tight, tired and overworked muscles and moisturizes skin, and it promises nothing about how much magnesium gets through the skin barrier. A large part of what helps is the massage itself — the cream gives you something worth massaging with, and the menthol lends a cool note that reads as relief. At 240 ml it is a generous jar, too, for a cream used on large areas.

How This Magnesium Cream Compares

Topical magnesium comes in three shapes. The differences are texture, coverage and what rides along.

• Versus a magnesium oil spray: NAKA Platinum ConcenTrace Topical Spray is a supersaturated mineral solution with a stated 100 mg of elemental magnesium per millilitre. It is precise and fast, but slick, and it can tingle. A cream covers a shoulder or calf more comfortably and leaves skin conditioned.
• Versus oral MSM: NAKA Platinum MSM 1800mg Powder and the 1000mg capsules raise sulphur intake body-wide. This puts MSM on one area — a different job, and plenty of people use both.
• Versus plain castor oil: NAKA Platinum Castor Oil is the raw ingredient alone, thick and slow to absorb. This builds it into an emulsion with magnesium, MSM and menthol — easier to spread, quicker to vanish.

What Each Part of This Cream Is Doing

The ingredient list is short enough to read straight through, and its order explains the product. Water comes first, then coconut and mustard seed oils — so this is an emulsion, oil suspended in water, held together by the cetyl-stearyl alcohol further down. That matters because the actives have opposite chemistry: magnesium chloride is a water-soluble salt and travels only in the water phase, while castor oil and the emollients belong to the oil phase. A cream carries both, which is why this is not an oil or a spray.

Magnesium chloride is the form nearly every topical uses, for a specific reason: it is hygroscopic, holding water so strongly that it stays in solution and in contact with skin rather than drying to a powder and flaking away. MSM is methylsulfonylmethane, a small sulphur-bearing compound widely used in products aimed at muscle and joint comfort. Castor oil brings richness and skin conditioning, and vegetable glycerin draws moisture into the surface layers — together why the cream leaves skin soft rather than tight. The menthol is the sensation: it acts on the skin's cold-sensing receptors, so the area feels cool within a minute — a nerve response rather than a temperature change, and the part most people describe as the soothing.

How To Use

Apply a small amount of NAKA Platinum Soothing Magnesium + MSM Cream to the area you want to work on — Naka suggests the neck, shoulders, back and legs — and massage it in until absorbed. Use it after exercise, through the day, or before bedtime; it is designed for everyday use as needed. For external use only. Avoid contact with eyes. If irritation or rash develops, discontinue use. Keep out of the reach of children.
