Confused Epsom Lotion

I have been trying to buy Epsom Lotion from CVS but as I am in the UK they are not willing to ship this product, are there similar products that can be bought outside US?

at Amazon UK...
This is the closest I could find:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Cream-Magnes...1003167&sr=1-1

less expensive here:
http://www.shopisraeltoday.com/sea-o...flo-p-521.html

Much less expensive on Ebay:
http://cgi.ebay.com/Natures-Best-Dea...-/140543077393

I can't find how much magnesium is in it tho.

Here is the quality Kirkman cream 100mg/gram
http://www.nutraexpress.com/magnesiu...m-kirkman.aspx
Their shipping says contact us for information, so that implies they might ship to UK which is a common destination.

I have been trying unsuccessfully to order from the suppliers above, I stumbled upon Magnesium Oil, but it is Magnesium Chloride:

Mrs D do you think this will do the same job?

I am not sure the "oil" will work. It is not really an oil. I've not tried this form.

It might work better to apply after a shower/bath, when the pores are open.

You can test absorption, perhaps. Apply to your arm, and wait some hours, and taste the skin. If it is salty, then the mag is on your skin still and not passing thru it.

I have an interesting magnesium story for you. When I was taking generous amounts orally, we'd go upNorth for vacation, and sit around on the shore. Butterflies would come and sit on me...one sat on my arm for a long time and I watched him "lick" me.

So maybe you will notice the butterflies coming to you? LOL
