Equipment

  • 1 Little glass container/ Silicone reusable travel tube.
  • 1 Spoon to mix
  • 1 Bamboo brush

Materials

  • 1 tbsp Cold pressed coconut oil extra virgin (melted)
  • 1 tsp Baking soda
  • 1/8 tsp Allum stone powder
  • 1 tbsp Bentonite clay
  • 1 tsp Xylitol (optional)
  • 2  tsp cacao unsweetened (optional)
  • 10-15 drops Peppermint essential oil (optional)

Instructions

  • First, mix all the dry ingredients together like baking soda, bentonite clay, xylitol and cacao.
  • Add peppermint essential oil in it or any other flavor you would like to add.
  • Add coconut oil little by little until you reach the desired consistency. Now fill it in a re-usable silicone tube or in a little glass container.

Notes

  • Make sure you avoid contaminating it with water and bacteria by not dipping your toothbrush into it. Nor let any water go inside. Instead, either dispense the toothpaste from re-usable silicone tubes or scoop out just enough for one use with a clean and dry spoon.
