Can magnesium chloride absorb through the skin and be taken up by tissue cells inside the body?
Yes, for thousands of years cultures around the world have been practicing balneotherapy, which is soaking in mineral waters or hot springs to absorb minerals through the skin and alleviate degenerative conditions such as arthritis.  In the last century magnesium chloride and magnesium sulphate (Epsom salts) have been harvested and used for baths and foot-soaks at home.  Magnesium oil, which is a solution of magnesium salts and water, was also used to spray on to muscles and joints for pain and cramps alleviation. 
 
In 2009 Elektra Magnesium Cream, the first of its kind, was created as a natural skin conditioner and more ‘user-friendly’ supplement to deliver magnesium transdermally. Its rich complex lipid structure help transport magnesium ions through the epidermis, whilst keeping the skin in great condition with a more youthful and hydrated complexion.
Can I get too much?From the skin (epidermis) the body takes up what it needs via the tiny capillaries of the dermis under the skin. This process is self-regulating and the body does not overdose itself (like a tree does not take up more minerals from the soil than it needs).  Unlike drugs or herbs, you cannot overdose this way… i.e. ‘Nature’s way.’  If you are very deficient the body will take up the nutrients quickly.  If you are not as deficient, it will take up the nutrients more slowly.  The skin in this way acts as a nutrient reservoir.
The skin absorbs up to 30x more than the gut. Products available: Skin care creams, body lotions, oil spritz and bath flakes/foot soaks.
