Description
There are a lot of questionable ingredients found in commercial toothpastes. Instead, make your own homemade baking soda toothpaste!
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 tablespoons coconut oil
- 2–4 tablespoons baking soda or a combination of baking soda and sea salt
- up to 1 tablespoon xylitol powder (optional)
- 20 drops cinnamon or clove essential oil (optional)
- 20 drops peppermint essential oil (optional)
- small glass jar
Instructions
- Place coconut oil container in a bowl of hot water to liquefy it (depending on your room temperature, this may take up to 15 minutes).
- Measure all ingredients into bowl and stir until completely blended.
- Store the finished product in a lidded glass jar.
Notes
Adding more baking soda helps keep your paste firmer in warm weather. Adding less baking soda makes it less firm, which makes dispensing it easier in the winter if your house is cool.
