Note: This recipe is for tooth powder, but it makes a great toothpaste too! The color of your finished product may vary depending on the color of your clay and the essential oils used. To make toothpaste, once the tooth powder is complete, gradually add in water and more coconut oil, blending as you go, until you reach the desired consistency. * No matter what allergies you may have, there’s a carrier oil that’s right for you. You can use any, or a combination of these: Avocado, Fractionated Coconut, Grapeseed, Jojoba, Sweet Almond. ** Essential oils are great for oral health and these are some of our favorite blends: ● Lime (3 drops), lemon (4 drops), grapefruit (3 drops) ● Orange (4 drops), clove (3 drops), peppermint (3 drops) ● Cinnamon leaf (3 drops), clove (2 drops), orange (5 drops) ● Chamomile (5 drops) and wintergreen (5 drops) ● Frankincense (5 drops) & myrrh (5 drops)
TOOTHPASTE
INGREDIENTS
1/4 cup coconut oil
2 Tbsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. Stevia
15 drops clove bud essential oil
15 drops cinnamon essential oil (or peppermint)
For a KidSafe version, omit clove and cinnamon/peppermint oils and substitute 20 drops total of spearmint essential oil.
INSTRUCTIONS
Melt the coconut oil in the microwave or in a double boiler until it either liquifies or is soft enough to mix in the other ingredients.
Add the baking soda and Stevia to the melted coconut oil and stir to combine. Then add the essential oil(s) and stir until all ingredients are well-combined.
Pour or spoon mixture into a small jar (a 4oz Mason jar works great) and let cool completely. For best results, place toothpaste in the fridge while cooling to speed up the process and stir once every 10-15 minutes to keep ingredients from separating.
