The Best Tip for Making Homemade Whitening Toothpaste!

Toothpaste is essential for good oral hygiene. In fact, it cleans teeth well in addition to freshening breath. Commercial toothpastes are certainly effective, but they contain several chemical agents that some people prefer to avoid.

Fortunately, it is possible to make your own toothpaste, using natural products.

What you need to make whitening toothpaste:

  • 200 g unrefined extra virgin coconut oil
  • 100 g of vegetable charcoal
  • 50 g of sodium bicarbonate
  • Airtight container (if possible in dark glass)
  • Optional: 20 drops of peppermint essential oil for internal use

Instructions

  1. Melt the coconut oil in a double boiler if necessary. (It liquefies with heat and hardens with cold; to mix with the other ingredients, it must be liquefied.)
  2. Then add the activated charcoal and bicarbonate to the oil.
  3. Make a very homogeneous mixture.
  4. Peppermint essential oil is added last, in a mixture at room temperature to keep all its properties. Mix well.
  5. Finally, put the toothpaste in a container that you can seal tightly.
