Magnesium "oil" (also referred to as transdermal magnesium, magnesium hexahydrate) is a colloquial misnomer for a concentrated solution of magnesium chloride in water. It is oily only in the sense that it feels oily to the touch, but unlike a true oil it mixes freely with water—as it must, being an aqueous solution.
