I have been making my own toothpaste for a little over a year now, and I must say that I like it so much more than conventional toothpaste. I got the idea from Susy over at Chiot’s Run.
I love the way this toothpaste works. I have always appreciated toothpaste with baking soda, but I never thought about making some myself. If you are used to a foaming toothpaste, it may take you some time to get accustomed to this kind, because it doesn’t foam, but it makes my mouth feel cleaner than a store bought toothpaste that foams. I find it difficult to use other toothpastes now because they seem too foamy.
The ingredients are very simple: baking soda, vegetable glycerin, salt, and essential oils.
To make the toothpaste, simply mix together the following ingredients:
- 1/2 cup baking soda
- 2 teaspoons sea salt or mineral salt
- 4-5 tablespoons vegetable glycerin
- 20 drops peppermint oil
- 20 drops citrus oil (orange, lemon, tangerine, etc)
- 10 drops eucalyptus oil
You should be able to find glycerin at any health food store, but you can always order it online. I just ordered this kind from vitacost. If you don’t want to use the vegetable glycerin, you can just omit it for a powdered toothpaste.
That usually makes me enough toothpaste for 2-3 months. I keep mine stored in a mason jar with a lid and leave in a little spoon to put some in my toothbrush.
I love it! – Drew and I will definitely be trying this. I have been reading all about homemade face wash and shampoo, but I never thought about toothpaste. It is good to know you have used it for a year and still love it. Thanks for the tip!

I’m gone to say to my little brother, that he should also visit this web
site on regular basis to take updated from newest information.

I might check things out. I like what I see so now i’m following you.

I am currently fhnisiing up my BA in Child Development and Family Studies and thus far I have only work with children from 2 weeks to adolescent while helping support their families. The Physician that I would want to work under is an Obstetrics (OB) because they are in direct contact with pregnant women and their children during pregnancy. I would choose this particular specialty for a variety of reason such as having the opportunity to see individuals become parent for the first time, seeing how much love is surrounded in the process, being there to help the mothers while there in a vulnerable state. One of my main reasons is because I think that the whole birthing process is fascinating and to be able to be a part of family’s lives while going through this process, I imagine to be extremely rewarding.A of physician specialty that I would least want to work with would be a psychiatrist. Although I believe that psychiatrist do some spectacular work and help a lot of people through difficult situations I personally believe that this job would be to emotionally draining and overwhelming for me. This makes me question whether or not I would be able to handle it. When I set out to do a job my goal is to do the best that I can and I don’t feel that I could successfully do this job to the best of my ability.
