why it works
why it works
the magnesium your body has been asking for
most of us are magnesium deficient and do not know it. magnesium is essential for over 300 biochemical reactions in the body, including the ones responsible for relaxation, sleep quality, muscle recovery, and nervous system regulation. the problem is that oral magnesium supplements are difficult for the body to absorb through digestion. much of it never reaches the cells that need it.
nightcap solves this by delivering magnesium transdermally. applied to the skin, magnesium chloride is absorbed directly into the body, bypassing digestion entirely. the result is faster absorption and more efficient delivery to the muscles, nerves, and tissues where it matters most.
the essential oils were chosen for a reason
kelly is a certified aromatherapist. the essential oil blend in nightcap is not decorative. cedarwood, lavender, and vetiver were selected specifically because each one has properties that support rest and recovery. cedarwood is grounding and promotes a sense of calm. lavender is one of the most well-studied essential oils for relaxation and sleep support. vetiver is deeply soothing and helps quiet the mind. together, they create a scent that signals to the nervous system that it is time to slow down.
the base matters too
nightcap is not just magnesium in a jar. the cream base includes coconut oil, olive oil, and shea butter, all of which nourish and moisturize the skin while carrying the magnesium into the body. glyceryl stearate and cetyl alcohol provide a smooth, lightweight texture that absorbs quickly without feeling heavy or greasy. natural preservatives (gluconolactone and sodium benzoate) keep the product stable without synthetic chemicals.
what is not in it
- no synthetic fragrances
- no parabens
- no formaldehyde
- no hormone disruptors
- no fillers

I use this product every night! Can't get over how good it smells. If I do not use it, I feel like I wake up throughout the night. The perfect way to moisturize your skin and get a restful sleep.
Best thing ever! Use every night and cannot sleep without it! Even pack it when I travel!
I started using this product because I was being awakened every night with leg cramps. This product immediately helped me and I slept like a baby! I failed to put it on one evening and was again woken up with leg cramps. Needless to say, I do not go to sleep or travel without my night cap!
Within 10 minutes of putting Night Cap on the bottom of my feet, my eyelids get heavy and I am immediately in such a deep sleep. Multiple times I have woken up even after only 4-5 hours of sleep feeling completely rested. I love how fast this relaxes you and helps you fall asleep. My boyfriend now requests he gets to use it every night too!
I have been sleeping like a rock since I added this to my nighttime routine. Came back for more and gifted to a friend!
