 Making homemade toothpasteMaking homemade toothpaste
http://www.tammysrecipes.com/homemade_toothpaste We made our own toothpaste!!! It was fun, easy, frugal, and tasty! I'm totally hooked. I have been wanting to make some more natural toothpaste, but all of the recipes I had seen online called for glycerin or other ingredients that I didn't have on hand. When I came across Julie's post about making toothpaste, I was excited! Here is how I made my homemade toothpaste: 2 tablespoons coconut oil 3 tablespoons baking soda 1/2 small packet of stevia powder 20-25 drops of peppermint oil* 1. Mix all ingredients together in a small bowl, using a fork. *Add about half of the amount of peppermint oil to start, and test the toothpaste to see how much you want/like. I used NOW brand peppermint oil, and ended up stopping at 25 drops which is still not as strong as I am used to, though it does taste nice and minty! Julie noted in her instructions that using part spearmint oil will make the toothpaste not as "hot" as using all peppermint oil. _________________ In loving memory of my son Chris April 12 1985-June 19 2007 I don’t think it’s a matter of “is it coming.” I think that it’s already here, it’s just a matter of perspective. From one perspective, our frog friends are telling us that we should be grateful that the “spa” is hot and luxurious. From the cook’s perspective… another 10 minutes and we’ll be dinner. |

Re: Making homemade toothpaste Cool beans! Looks like I got a project for the cub scouts and the brownies.

Re: Making homemade toothpaste I'll have to look for peppermint oil and try that, I have everything else.

Re: Making homemade toothpaste Cool, can you buy coconut oil at a health food store? I have everything else and would like to try this! Also, does coconut oil go rancid quickly or would storing it in a fridge help out? Or, could I just use olive oil?
