I've been using it for about two weeks. Honestly, I didn't expect much, but I wake up far less often from the tingling in my feet at night. I used to wake up every two hours and felt sleepy all day, so this is what I'm most grateful for. I also love that it isn't greasy. With other creams I hated putting my feet under the covers, but this dries in seconds so I can go straight to sleep. Five stars. I recommend it.
About the product & full ingredientsadd
A nighttime body cream made with magnesium chloride. Each jar is 120 g — about a month's supply for both calves. It has a soft lavender scent, spreads like a lotion, and dries within seconds once rubbed in.
Full ingredients: Water, Glycerin, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Ethylhexyl Palmitate, Magnesium Chloride, Dimethicone, Ceteth-20 Phosphate, Glyceryl Stearate, Beeswax, Shea Butter, Lavender Oil, Olive Fruit Oil, Tocopherol, C20-24 Alkyl Dimethicone, Ceteth-2, Niacinamide, Stephania Tetrandra Root Extract, Taraxacum Officinale (Dandelion) Leaf Extract, Saururus Chinensis Leaf/Root Extract, Hydroxyacetophenone, 1,2-Hexanediol, 3-O-Ethyl Ascorbic Acid, Allantoin, Sodium Hyaluronate, Xanthan Gum
Why apply it to the skin?add
Average daily magnesium intake in Japan is 247.1 mg, while the recommended amount for adults is 280–380 mg (Japan National Health and Nutrition Survey, 2019). Oral supplements often upset the stomach, and many people can't stick with medications that make them drowsy. MELAO goes directly onto the skin of your calves and shins instead of through your mouth. Since it bypasses the gut, you can use it right before bed.
How to useadd
Before bed or after a bath, apply mainly to your calves and shins, and to the soles of your feet too. A cherry-sized amount covers both legs. It dries within seconds once rubbed in, so you can get straight into bed. Tip: focus on the areas that hurt and massage it in as you spread it.
If applying only to the soles of your feet didn't work for you, try your calves and shins instead. Skin absorbs through the pores, and the soles of your feet have almost none.
Will it sting?add
We use a cream base for people who've had irritation from magnesium oils or sprays. Avoid cuts, rashes, and freshly shaved skin.

「The nighttime tingling stopped」
For two years the soles of my feet burned and tingled, and it got worse as soon as I got into bed. I couldn't stay on the medication because it made me drowsy. I started using this half-doubting it would work, and now my feet no longer take over my nights. If this lets me sleep, I'll keep using it even if it costs a little more.
A.K.verified購入者「For my husband」
I bought this for my husband, who couldn't sleep because of numbness in his feet. Before bed I massage it into the soles of his feet, then he goes to bed. He no longer wakes up from the burning, and he was most surprised by how he felt waking up the next morning.
M.S.verified購入者「For my 81-year-old father」
My father is 81. After his surgery he suffered from numbness and cold in his feet, and the medication from the hospital didn't agree with him. He says the nights he uses this, he sleeps soundly until morning.
T.N.verified購入者「I can't go without it now」
On nights I forget to apply it, I wake up from the tingling in my soles. I can't go without it now.

Frequently asked questions
When and where should I apply it?add
Before bed or after a bath, apply mainly to your calves and shins, plus the soles of your feet and your toes. A cherry-sized amount covers both legs. Focus on the areas that hurt and massage it in as you spread it. If applying only to your soles didn't work, try your calves and shins instead.
Is it greasy?add
Greasiness is the #1 reason people give up on magnesium products, so we use a low-oil cream base. It dries within seconds once rubbed in, and won't stick to your sheets.
Will it sting?add
It's formulated for people who've had irritation from oils or sprays. Avoid cuts, rashes, and freshly shaved skin.
Can I use it with medications or pain patches?add
Since it isn't taken by mouth, many people use it alongside other treatments. If you're seeing a doctor or taking medication, please check with your physician.
How long does one jar last?add
Each jar is 120 g. Applied to both calves every night, it lasts about a month. People sharing with a second family member usually choose the 3-pack.
How long does shipping take?add
We're currently taking pre-orders for the October 7 restock. Once stock arrives, orders ship in the order they were placed, and we'll email you a tracking number. You can cancel anytime before shipping for a full refund (no fees).
What if it doesn't work for me?add
If it's not right for you, contact us within 60 days. We'll refund the purchase amount minus a 50% return fee (return shipping is paid by the customer). Opened or partly used jars are fine.
How is it different from other magnesium creams?add
There are three differences. (1) Time on your skin: oils and sprays dry within minutes and they're done, but MELAO leaves a thin layer of shea butter and beeswax that stays until morning, in contact with your skin for the full 6–8 hours you sleep. (2) Formulated not to sting: high-concentration gels and oils tingle, so people tend to use less. MELAO calms irritation with stephania, allantoin and niacinamide, so you can apply a generous cherry-sized amount to both legs. (3) Full transparency: we publish all 25 ingredients along with our EU, UK and US cosmetic registration numbers.
Why is it lower in concentration than 25% or 35% gels?add
MELAO contains 5% magnesium chloride. How much gets absorbed through the skin depends not just on concentration, but on how long it stays on your skin and how much area you cover. A high concentration that dries in minutes, versus 5% that stays on your skin until morning. MELAO is designed to absorb over time — and because it doesn't sting, you won't cut back on how much you apply.
