Why Make your own?
Because there are dangerous chemicals in store bought toothpaste such as :
sodium fluoride, triclosan, sodium lauryl sulfate, and hydrated silica
I'm going to let you do a little research on your own about these very toxic ingredients
Most of you are reading this blog because you're already on your way to a cleaner life so I'll just get to this amazing recipe !
This recipe tastes an smells so good !
...please remember it's a much different texture and doesn't foam
... is a wee bit salty from the baking soda.
...it's so worth it to your health to get used to the switch
...each individual family member has their own jar
...put your toothbrush right in it and scoop just a pea size
Tools:
A 1/4 cup mason jar
Teaspoon
Ingredients :
1 teaspoon of baking soda
a little less than 1/4 cup of coconut oil

10 drops of Young Living Peppermint Essential Oil
10 drops of Young Living Orange Essential Oil
