So much of the swelling has gone … now to work on my fingers!
I love the Magnesium Oil spray! I use it every night and it has helped me sleep deeper. It's also helped with my restless legs 🙌🏻 I love that it is unscented as I am sensitive to a lot of smells.
I love these products very much. I suffer from nerve pain in my feet, toes and hands and this is the only thing that helps with this. And when I rub it on the bottom of my feet I get a good night's sleep. Would recommend this to everyone. Thank you Koa team you are wonderful. Orders are very quick getting out.
I am currently going through chemotherapy and have found using Koa magnesium body butter with lavender has made the journey easier. I have used it for helping to get rid of headaches and aiding in going to sleep at night.
Ngā Mihi Nui Koa.

Thank you so much for a beautiful product
I love these! I get sore ankles and feet and massage my feet at night before bed. Relieves tension and smells amazing.
I ran out recently and felt the difference of not using the magnesium until my order arrived - i will make sure I never run out again.

Thanks for passing on the good news!
I’ve had recent ankle surgery. I rub in the magnesium body butter to deal with swelling at the end of the day. It is soft to put on and quickly absorbed. I also use it for arthritis pain in my other foot. Best Magnesium cream I’ve used so far and I’ve tried a lot of brands.
What a blissful way to soak and relax after a busy shift or walking with friends. Also sleep so well after using 💤
This makes the perfect Xmas pressie 🎅🏻
I alternate between the beauty aroma of Sweet Orange Oil and Peppermint Oil for sleep, sore lower back and menopause symptoms 💛
These will be on my Secret Santa List 🎅🏻
Have put some many of my friends onto the magnesium cream, so good I put it in bed I go to sleep and have the best sleep ever due to me having a chronic illness. Thank you for the amazing product 😊
I have used the oil on my lower back & hips & it definitely takes the ache away. Beautiful citrus scent but not overpowering. Doesn’t stay oily on the skin. I have used the oil on my back at the same time I have used the magnesium & Kawakawa with lemongrass butter on achy legs as they both have a citrus scent - go well together.

This is the perfect use for Peppermint Magnesium - well done!
Love this product!! It works & it smells amazing not over powering at all. The butter is a soft mousse like texture and goes a long way. I use it after the gym & have noticed I am definitely no where near as sore the next day using this.
Was able to buy 2 small ones so it would be handy during travels.. was able to use it after long hours of walking during vacation in Japan.love how relaxing the smell as well as my muscles .highly recommended!!!
