Plastic Free Toothpaste

Yes, you read correctly. Make your own plastic free toothpaste with ingredients you probably already have at home. It is easy, cheap and eco- friendly.

You Need:

  • 4 Tablespoons of organic coconut oil
  • 2 Tablespoons of bentonite clay (food grade)
  • 20 drops of peppermint oil or any other preferred essential oil

Method: 

  • Add all the ingredients in a bowl and mix well until you have a firm paste an put it in an air tight jar.
  • Wet your toothbrush, press it into the paste and brush your teeth. 

Fun Fact: Before fluoride was introduced to toothpaste, people brushed their teeth with baking soda because it is a mild abrasive that both polishes and withes the teeth.
