I am in the process of attempting to eliminating as much “chemicals” as I can from my daily life. Hints why I gave this a try…along with a few other things (laundry detergent, surface cleaner, end dust, plastic containers, etc.)
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons coconut oil
- 3 tablespoons baking soda
- 1 tablespoon aloe vera gel (optional)
- 6 drops lemon essential oil
- 6 drops onguard essential oil
- *1 teaspoon activated charcoal
- * can add in a little stevia or xylitol
Directions
- Mix coconut oil and baking soda together in a small container.
- Add in aloe vera and activated charcoal if using.
- Stir in essential oils.
- *Can use any essential oils you prefer. 10 – 15 drops.
- Use just a small amount daily to brush teeth.
- Store in glass container.
- Dip toothbrush into paste and brush teeth like normal.
My Experience/Suggestions:
- Mix in a large bowl then transfer to the small cute mason jar (found at craft stores)
- I would make again BUT leave out the “activated charcoal” if you are going to use this at your sink vs the shower where I use mine. That black stuff gets EVERY WHERE when you brush your teeth.
- I didn’t use “onguard” oil. I couldn’t find it…not even on Amazon.
- Don’t share with anyone. Make them their own jar.
