More Than A Mineral
Where are you getting your magnesium? Your food? Skin? Or an oral supplement?
Obviously food is the best place to get any vitamins and minerals. Sadly, at least 50% of Americans aren’t getting the magnesium their bodies need through food alone. This is largely because soil is not as mineral rich as it used to be causing less nutrient dense foods.
So you’re supplementing with magnesium vitamins? Magnesium is absorbed in the small intestines, once it makes its way through your digestive system and reaches its absorption point, it has already been stripped down. What gets absorbed is a fraction of the amount originally taken.
Our skin can often be overlooked as a way to take in minerals but it’s our biggest organ. There’s a reason we feel so much better on the beach. Your nervous system is regulated, your skin is glowing, your muscles have relaxed. It’s not just the vacation vibes. There’s actual science behind it. Magnesium is one of the most potent minerals in seawater and one of the most important minerals for our bodies daily function. Swimming in the ocean provides magnesium while bypassing improper absorption during digestion.
Growing up on the coast of Maine was more special than I realized while living there. I practically lived at the beach and the cold water never stopped me. Still, when I go back to visit the first thing that reminds me I’m home is the salty, coastal, mineral rich air. As soon as it hits my face I feel better.
Moving to the Blue Ridge Mountains obviously has its perks but living without the ocean, my body really started to freak out. I felt it in my joints, my muscles, my anxiety spiked, and I struggled with sleep. I didn’t realize that I left one of my most important daily supplements 600 miles away on the beach. Making this connection was only the beginning of the journey.
Our magnesium spray was created to serve as your connection to the ocean. Renewing, restoring and regulating just like the seawater. Developing this spray was my way of bringing Maine to Virginia and bringing the benefits of being a beach bum back into my life.

The Herb Of The Sun
Calendula
When we think of the sun we think of life, light and warmth. Calendula flowers are known as the “herb of the sun” carrying all those same healing elements in its bright beautiful blooms.
Calendula’s power comes from its ability to increase blood flow and oxygen levels. This encourages the body to produce new healthy skin tissue aiding in wound healing, decreasing inflammation, soothing eczema, minimizing dermatitis and fighting cancer causing cells.
Combining calendula and grass fed tallow creates a golden healing butter our ancestors have been using for thousands of years to heal burns, wounds and different skin issues. Calendula's benefits aren't only skin deep, its used in herbal tinctures for liver function, lymph support and hormone balancing. This isn’t a bandwagon….if anything you're late to that party.

Fragrance Chemicals & Endocrine Disrupters
THE SWEET SCENTED DEVIL
Let’s talk about the toxins hidden throughout our daily routine!
There are plenty of enemies on the ingredient lists of our favorite products but today’s big villain is FRAGRANCE!
The word “fragrance” or “perfume” is a blanket term for a combination of chemicals that create a certain scent. This list of harmful chemicals is protected as a “trade secret” leaving consumers blind to what they are truly being exposed to. These chemicals can be found in body spray, lotion, shampoo & conditioner, feminine wash, laundry soap, fabric softener, candles, room sprays and more. Fragrance chemicals are endocrine system disruptors that have been proven to cause hormone dependent cancers like prostate and breast cancer, falling sperm counts, nervous system damage, hormone imbalances and problems during foetal development, and fertility problems in women, and even linked to mental health concerns.
2 Seeds was created to make natural products and knowledge about harmful chemicals more available to consumers. Our products are all made 100% fragrance chemical free! We use only organic essential oils to formulate our scents. Swap the cancer causing products for ones that are intentionally crafted with the health of your body in mind!
The photo to the right is a sign posted in a fertility office in the US. If simply wearing perfume to a fertility office can damage developing embryos, what harm is it causing when we are putting it directly on our bodies and clothes?
