I tried this on my myself for a month and I noticed some changes in my mood and went to sleep a bit better at night. I was a little resistant at first to use it but got used of the application. Will purchase this product again in the future
We have been really pleasantly surprised with how well Salt Labs kids magnesium oil spray has worked for our growing children. We began using the product about a month ago and have been using it daily by spraying it onto the soles of their feet and down their legs before bedtime. Our children are all very tall and have suffered quite a bit over… Read more
the years with growing pains. We have found the magnesium oil has really helped to ease their pains, especially when they are going to sleep at night. They seem to be more relaxed and are falling asleep quicker than they usually do. We have found it to be really beneficial and will continue to be using it in the future.
I've been using the Salt Lab Kids Magnesium Oil Spray on my toddler as part of her bedtime routine, and it’s been such a lovely little addition! A few sprays on her feet before bed and she’s so much more relaxed. It’s helped calm her busy mind and even eased those little “growing pain” leg aches she sometimes gets after a big day of play. It… Read more
tingled a tiny bit the first time we used it, but now she doesn’t even notice. I love that it’s gentle, natural, and Aussie made — plus it fits so easily into our nightly wind-down. The bottle also seems to be never ending, after using it for a few months it still doesnt look like we have used it!
It’s definitely become one of our bedtime staples.

I recently started using the Salt Lab Magnesium Oil for both kids and adults and I’m honestly impressed! This gentle rest & recharge spray has been a great addition to our bedtime routine. It helps relax tired muscles, calm the mind, and promote better sleep especially for my little one who sometimes struggles to wind down at night. What I… Read more
really love is that it’s non-sticky, absorbs quickly, and feels soothing on the skin. Plus, it’s made with natural ingredients that are safe even for kids. I also use the Salt Lab Magnesium Oil for Adults after a long tiring day at work to relieve tension and it works wonders!
Highly recommend this if you’re looking for a natural way to improve sleep quality and relaxation for the whole family.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (5/5)
Our son often complains of leg pains, especially after sport days at school, and this can affect his sleep quality. This is why he was excited to try this Salt Lab magnesium spray. Even though he found the spray mist a little ticklish and sticky once applied, he said that he appreciated that it didn't have any odour and he felt that the magnesium… Read more
oil did help him to sleep better, as it calmed his restless legs and helped take away the pain. He recommends this magnesium spray to other kids his age, especially if they have trouble sleeping or have painful legs like him! Thank you so much to Salt Lab and Mouth of Mum's for allowing us to trial this product.
My daughter sprays it on her feet before bed & didn’t like the sensation at first but persevered night after night. Then I suggested spraying it on her stomach at night when she got period cramps and it actually helps. Pain was way less and she actually slept better. It was good to introduce as part of her nightly routine, dries fast, not sticky,… Read more
no weird smell, all natural & Australian Made. Sometimes the smallest changes make the biggest impact.
We’ve been using Salt Lab Kids Magnesium Oil Spray as part of my toddler’s bedtime routine for about a month now. The spray is super easy to apply, we find we only need 1 spray on his small feet each night. Unlike other magnesium oils it is fast absorbing and didn’t leave my hands feeling rubbery when I massaged it in. I’ve found the magnesium… Read more
oil really helps him to wind down and relax of an evening. Bedtime can be stressful in our household with a reluctant sleeper but he now jumps into bed and asks for his feet to be sprayed. Although he still often wakes through the night, we have noticed he falls asleep much ‘easier’ than before using the magnesium oil.
We were absolutely thrilled to be given the chance to review the Salt Lab Kids Magnesium oil spray. This is something I had already wanted to try but hadn't yet purchased- safe to say we will be buying this again & again ! We are a mostly low tox household so this is the perfect product for us. From the product to the packaging this is premium &… Read more
high quality. The kids love to line up their little feet and receive their sprays before bedtime- I love the little giggle each night as I spray ❤️ We instantly noticed a difference at bedtime with our 5 year old who gets growing pains and is quite fidgety, spraying this before bed has helped calm those little legs so much. We have moved up from feet to spraying ankles & calves which has helped even more. So grateful for the opportunity to review this one. Salt lab has done something so special ❤️
My daughter is always energetic when it's time for bed so I sometimes find it difficult to get her to sleep. When we started using this spray, i noticed on nights we used it she fell asleep faster and did not wake up much during the night. This is now part of our bed time routine and my daughter asks for a spray always!
I've always been quite a sceptical person around children's sleep and what will actually help them sleep. This is absolutely a game changer, I've trialled this now with my two and a half year old for just over a month and have been thrilled with the results. It's certainly not a claim to be a miracle that makes your kid sleep though the night (but… Read more
hit me up when you figure that out) but it most certainly has made a significant positive impact on her sleep. Finding it easier to wind down of a night, enjoying the routine of getting to spray her feet, getting to sleep easier and when she does wake in the night she is calm and heading back to sleep with ease. I'm extremely grateful to trial the Salt Lab Magnesium spray for kids it has made night time better tenfold!
Sweet dreams start here kid-friendly magnesium spray helps support calm, relaxation, and a restful night's sleep naturally. Perfect for little legs, growing bodies, and busy minds. Show details

My little guy has ticklish feet regardless of the years I spent holding them, massaging them, threatening to eat his toes because they were SO CUTE when he was younger! I was barely able to swipe on a thin layer of Vicks Vapour Rub at times of… Read more
illness (placebo/old wives tale? I did it anyway). Until we received our Big and Little Bundle. At first there was giggling and kicking, telling me ‘that’s enough now’ and ‘no more please’. I was determined. I was consistent. I was gentle. I was also able to find a way to appeal to his curious mind - I wondered aloud one evening if I should research if there’s a sinus reflexology point that might help with our allergies and recurring sniffles, knowing full well there is. This prompted a shallow dive into reflexology and its benefits as well as the benefits of the application of the magnesium oil (it matters not that I had spoken of this to him previously, it mattered now that I was fanning the flame of curiosity and added visual aids - tell me you are neurodivergent without telling me).
I was kicking myself that I didn’t get a video of his ticklishness to compare to how relaxed he is during the process after a few weeks. Now he will read to me while I massage his feet at bedtime and then is ready to lay down for a few minutes of me reading to him, without fuss. What used to be an hour + of laying in bed with him, promoting breath work, meditation playlists, white/pink/brown noise/binaural beats, reading or singing to him until my voice went hoarse, cuddles and falling asleep myself is a distant memory. Being consistent with the addition of the magnesium oil spray ritual to our bedtime routine is helping to promote comfort and connection as well as having a very positive impact on sleep overall.
Follow-up · In response to some follow up queries... The spray bottle is easy to handle and it's got a locking mechanism. The product absorbs into the skin and we haven't noticed any residue but we do let it soak in a few minutes before putting socks on. The product is neutral with regard to scent; we are sensitive to perfumes and the like and don't associate any type of scent with using the product. I hope this helps =)

My little girl had been waking a lot during the night and struggling to get back to sleep, so I thought we’d try the magnesium spray and I think it’s actually working! She’s definitely not waking up as much, and when she is she goes back down after… Read more
a few seconds. She even loves to try and help spray her own feet which is pretty cute. We pop it on maybe an hour before bed and pop socks on her feet so it doesn’t rub off
Follow-up · The texture is just like water really, it’s not bitty or anything like that. No reactions for my daughter, she’s taken really well to it. I used one spray on each foot and rubbed it in. We’ve now moved onto applying it to her whole body
Change in my kid's body gets him grumpy. He's grumpy from the body aches due to physical growth. He's grumpy from having anxiety due to mental growth. He was grumpy when I first use it on him. But after a few nights of using it, he seems to realise… Read more
he has less aches, or that he is less anxious in general. Therefore there's less resistance from him when I use the spray, which leads to a better sleep and then rolls over to a good morning after.
Follow-up · I sleep better so I am not as moody or grouchy in the morning. I don't feel as lethargic so it's easier and able to wake earlier. Base of my feet is usually the main place I'll spray on. There's literally no smell to the spray.
In-depth reviews
My children are tall (a genetic trait that unfortunately skipped me). Unfortunately with height comes quick growing and those dreaded growing cramps/aches. When my daughter was little we used a holistic approach including hot/cold packs, OTC medicine, and magnesium sprays. All helped during the ‘growing phase’ of going from an average height… Read more
toddler to that of being above the 99th percentile in height. As she has recently entered her pre-teen years those growth spurts have resurfaced. The cramping, aches and pains which keep her up at night have returned. We introduced the KIDS Magnesium Oil Spray into her post night time shower routine by using the spray and coconut oil directly on her calf muscles. Over time we noticed a dramatic decrease in the extreme, unmanageable pain. There were nights we did miss out on the spray (if we were out) and that seemed to coincide with the pain returning. After a few weeks we stopped using the coconut oil as a barrier and haven’t looked back. I do think it helps with the aches and cramps whilst also helping her get a deeper, more restful sleep. Definitely something we will continue to use as a whole family.
Good Relaxing Spray For Kids Overall, I would get this product again. It was easy for both me & my child to use and I did feel it helped them to relax in the evenings in preparation for bedtime. Packaging - Clear information on both the box and the bottle which articulates what the product does, ingredients and how to use it. - The bottle is a… Read more
simple and fairly compact spray bottle which goes with almost any bathroom decor. - The plastic bottle relieves any stress associated with dropping and shattering glass bottles.
Use - The product is easy to use and mess free for both of us (very important haha). - I usually sprayed 1-2 squirts on my hands, then rubbed into the bottom of the feet, then I put socks over the top. My child was spraying once directly on the bottom of either foot. Both methods seemed effective. - The product was fast absorbing and non-sticky. - I found there was no strong or unpleasant scent associated with the product. - I did notice my child was more relaxed the evening I used it.
Other Good Points - Vegan, natural & non-toxic - Formulated & made in Australia

We have been trying everything under the sun to help our 5 year old daughter sleep better. So I was excited to be a part of this trial team and give this magnesium spray a go. My daughter was keen to try the spray out and enjoyed me massaging it into the soles of her feet. It was quite the novelty for her The spray applying nicely with the… Read more
trigger spray accessory. The “oil” although not an actual oil rubs in easily and is not oily or greasy feeling at all. It has absolutely NO aroma and it is purely made up of water and magnesium so there are no hidden nasties.
The instructions said to try it out for atleast 2 weeks so that is what I’ve done.
Her sleep has improved slightly and she hasn’t seemed as restless before going to bed.
In about two weeks time, once her body is used to absorbing the magnesium through the skin, we can start applying it to other areas of her body such as the feet and stomach. Looking forward to seeing what other amazing benefits it can have for her.
Positive reviews
Loved trialing this product with the kids. They didn’t love the wet feeling, but it dries down quickly and I felt we had more nights of full sleep while using. I definitely found the adult spray more beneficial for myself, and feel if it helped me that much surely it’s supporting better sleep for the kids too! Really recommend this product, don’t think I can live without it now! Show details
I used the kids spray on both my kids. It helped them sleep better through the night and also put them to sleep quicker than usual. It was really easy to apply, and very gentle on their skin. My son hasn’t complained about growing pains since using the spray and has slept for longer periods during the night. My daughter loves the addition to her bed time routine. It has helped reduce her teeth grinding and has had much better quality of sleep. Show details
I found the Salt Lab Kids Magnesium Oil Spray helped to improve my child’s teeth grinding during their sleep. I also noticed a decrease in my child’s movements during the sleep, which makes me feel they are in deep sleep for longer as they feel more relaxed. Texture was abit sticky but tolerable and not a deal breaker. We will definitely repurchase this product again in the future.
Negative reviews
Kiddo has restless leg and teeth grinding. He was happy to try the oil as part of his bedtime ritual. Luckily the oil dries quickly. But I noticed that his teeth grinding didn't go away or less, after almost two months using the oil. As much as I would like to love this product, it just doesn't work for us.

We’ve been using this spray on our 6 year old for 2 weeks and I cant say there’s been much of a difference so far. If the applicator was easier like a roll on I think it would be easier to use long term. Will definitely be trying it for a few more weeks to see if more improvement is made
My little one has a developed habit of getting up in the middle of the night and unfortunately I've not noticed a difference since using this product. I will continue to use it as part of our bedtime routine and see if it does provide any improvement but at present there's been nothing noticeable.

I actually noticed a difference on both myself and the kids! We have issues with growing pains and poor sleep in our house. I notice a difference in their sleep if I miss a night by accident. Stoked with the packaging - easy use spray bottle and aesthetic packaging which I can keep next to kids beds and fits with my decor. That way I don’t forget to put it on. An established part of our routine now. Won’t go without it!
I’ve been using the Salt Lab Kids Magnesium Oil for a while now, and I’m honestly impressed. It’s super gentle on my child’s skin and no stinging or irritation at all, which is such a relief .

my little one thanks to salt lab which has make a best product for kids to sleep well during night .I also love that it’s made with clean, natural ingredients and specifically designed for kids. The spray bottle makes it easy to apply and no mess just a few spritzes on the legs or feet and we’re done.The texture absorbs quickly and doesn’t leave any greasy feeling.i would highly recommend this product
The Salt Lab kids magnesium oil is a great product to help kids have a better night sleep. For restless sleepers, this spray oil helps to calm and settle them into a deeper sleep. Also great for little ones with growing pains, with noticeably less pains in the legs after using this product.
I received a free trial of this product for review. I was excited to receive it because I have a toddler whose sleep has always been terrible - trouble getting to sleep and many, many night wakings. I was hoping this product might have been helpful but unfortunately, despite persisting with it for a few months, it made no discernible difference.… Read more
It is definitely a lovely quality product and I love that the ingredients are literally just magnesium and water - no nasty additives, and it didn't upset his sensitive skin.
The Salt Lab Kids Magnesium Oil has truly added so much value to my son’s life. It’s helped with his sleep, growing pains, sore muscles from swim training, and overall wellbeing. I started seeing a difference in his sleep within a week. I spray three times on each feet every night, and it helps calm him and wind him down quickly, and eases him… Read more
into sleep. He is less restless and wakes easier with more energy.
I did notice that spraying on his legs makes him a little itchy, so I normally follow this with moisturising cream to soothe it. The spray helps dramatically with sore muscles from his squad training, and has helped ease growing pains.
I found that when I missed a few nights in a row, he would grow a little restless through the night and getting to sleep became harder. It’s truly made a difference and improved our lives and I would highly recommend to everyone for themselves and their children.
I’d tried another magnesium spray before for the kids, but my kids complained it stung and refused to use it. We switched to the Salt Lab kids version and built it up gradually, and they actually like it! It is now part of our bedtime routine. It seems to help them wind down before sleep. Show details
