Easy and Inexpensive DIY Toothpaste
After reading this article on what really is in our toothpaste and how harmful it is (even though we have been using Tom’s brand for years), I decided it was time to start making my own DIY toothpaste and tooth powder. I’ve had a few recipes stashed away for a while and had even purchased the ingredients. What was holding me back?! Well, I finally made some and we are totally thrilled with the results. Bonus: it also remineralizes your teeth.
Homemade Non-Toxic Toothpaste
Equipment
Materials
- 4 Tablespoons Bentonite Clay
- 3 Tablespoons Calcium Magnesium Powder
- 1 Tablespoon Baking Soda
- 1 Tablespoon Cinnamon Powder for flavor optional
- 1 teaspoon Clove Powder also optional, as it has a very strong flavor
- 1-2 Tablespoons Xylitol Powder
Instructions
- Mix ingredients and put into a jar.
- We each have our own jar because we dip our toothbrushes into the powder. Wet your toothbrush and dip it into the tooth powder and brush away. It’s just that easy.
You can find all of these ingredients at a co-op or Whole Foods. If you are having trouble finding the items, they can be ordered online. Click on the links I have provided below.
I also made a paste which was super easy to do….I added coconut oil to the tooth powder until I achieved the desired consistency….same recipe, same jar. My husband prefers paste to powder.
Everyone is happy, and our smiles show it!
