Homemade Toothpaste

Today, I tried my hands in making a homemade toothpaste. Homemade toothpaste is good because it is chemical-free.

The best part of it is that I did this homemade toothpaste together with J.

Verdict of the toothpaste: J loves the toothpaste because of the Orange flavour. It smells so sweet.

Here are the main ingredients:

Main Ingredients for Homemade Toothpaste.
Added Teatree Essential Oil.
 
- 1/3 cup Coconut Oil
- 1 Tbsp Baking Soda
- 1 Tbsp Bentonite Clay
- 1/4 tsp Stevia
- 1/2 tsp Himalayan Rock Salt
- 10 drops Orange Essential Oil
- 5 drops Peppermint Essential Oil
(Can add more but it might be too spicy for J. Hence, I added 5 drops.)
- 2 drops Teatree Essential Oil
(Can add more but J was not used to the smell.)

  1. Combine coconut oil, baking soda, and bentonite clay. Mix thoroughly.
  2. Add in the remaining ingredients and mix.
  3. Store in a jar or put in a squeezable toothpaste.
NOTE: 
When mixing bentonite clay, please use a wood or plastic spoon. Bentonite clay should not come in contact with metal because it deactivates the clay.

This toothpaste isn't meant to be stored long-term, so it is recommended to make small batches frequently.
