Homemade Whitening Toothpaste

Ingredients

  • 3 Tbsp 3 part Coconut Oil
  • 3 Tbsp 3 part Bentonite Clay
  • 2 Tbsp 2 part Baking Soda
  • 8-10 drops Essential Oils- I do 4-6 drops of Thieves for killing bacteria and 4 drops Peppermint for flavor

Instructions

  • Combine the Bentonite Clay and Baking Soda in small bowl.
  • Melt Coconut Oil separately in microwave for a few seconds or on stove top; stir melted coconut oil into the dry ingredients using a rubber whisk or plastic fork (NOTE: avoid using metal utensils to work with the Bentonite Clay as some research states that it will weaken the effectiveness of the clay).
  • Add Essential oils and whisk until smooth.
  • While mixture is still warm, use plastic funnel to pour toothpaste mixture into a glass jar for cooling and storage. Small glass baby food jars work well for storage, or a glass container like these from Amazon .

You can use the mixture immediately, but it will need about 24 hours to "set" and become solid again. You can use a small plastic utensil or the end of your tooth brush to scrape a small amount of the mixture onto your toothbrush for daily use. Voila!
