Magnesium Oil with original Zechstein magnesium chloride – from Casida

Our Magnesium Oil Vital Spray is a natural and pure magnesium chloride solution for easy absorption. This Magnesium Oil Vital Spray is a 31% Zechstein magnesium chloride solution for effective delivery of magnesium through the skin. The Vital Spray can be used for massages, skin regeneration and care.

The Magnesium Oil Vital Spray contains high-quality Zechstein Mineral. The Zechstein mineral is named after its ancient and pristine source, the ancient Zechstein Sea, a geological formation in Northern Europe during the Late Permian Era. For 250 million years, the Original Zechstein magnesium salt has been preserved deep in the immaculate Zechstein Seabed 1600-2000 meters beneath Earth’s crust.

The extraction of Original Zechstein magnesium chloride, from the purest and most pristine natural magnesium chloride source in the world, became possible in the Netherlands since 1982.

You have questions about the source of the raw material magnesium chloride? Here is the answer for you.

In this section the source, the origin and the production of magnesium chloride and the magnesium will be explained.

The Magnesium chloride from our products, the Zechstein magnesium, is originated directly in the area near the city Veendam in the Netherlands. The source is explored since 1982. The salt is the debris of the ancient Zechstein Sea, which has been dried out over 250 million years ago. The preserved salt layers over the Zechstein Sea stretches across many countries. Apart from the Netherlands, there are also Zechstein magnesium sources in Germany and Poland.

Most of these salt mines produces edible salts, and in the source in Veendam exclusively pure magnesium chloride is found. There are around ten magnesium chloride sources in the world and Veendam is being considered as on of the purest one! The form of Epsom salt come with high concentration, and the salt extracted has a high magnesium content of about 47%.

The magnesium salt is extracted through a special drilling technique called “Bohrlochsolung”. In this case water from 1600m deep under earth crust will be pumped out through a drill pipe, then the rocks with magnesium salt content will be transported for extraction process.

The temperature of the deep location or “under surface” is about 70 degrees Celsius, and to extract the magnesium salt from the rocks, the water has to be heat up to the boiling point.  The natural brine will be pumped out through another drill pipe and transported through an underground pipe system to processing plant for further processing.

After a number of sophisticated process, the magnesium chloride can also be used for industrial use, such as the important fireproof layer for protective garments, or the isolation material for ovens.
