Best Homemade Toothpaste Recipe –

So I have been waiting to share this recipe forever. Best Home made toothpaste recipe that you will have guaranted results with.

This recipe is a naturally whitening recipe with a hint of antimicrobial action.

Determining the “best” homemade toothpaste can depend on personal preferences and specific oral health needs.

However, here’s a recipe for a homemade toothpaste that incorporates effective natural ingredients for oral hygiene:

Natural Whitening and Antimicrobial Toothpaste

Ingredients:

• 4 tablespoons of coconut oil (virgin, cold-pressed)
• 4 tablespoons of baking soda
• 1 tablespoon of activated charcoal powder
• 10 drops of peppermint essential oil
• 1 teaspoon of xylitol (optional, for sweetness)

Instructions:

1. Mix Dry Ingredients:
   • In a bowl, combine the baking soda and activated charcoal powder. Both ingredients are known for their gentle abrasive properties, helping to remove stains and plaque.
2. Add Coconut Oil:
   • Melt the coconut oil if solid and add it to the dry ingredients. Coconut oil is antibacterial and can contribute to a smooth texture for the toothpaste.
3. Add Peppermint Essential Oil:
   • Add 10 drops of peppermint essential oil for a refreshing flavor and additional antimicrobial properties.
4. Add Xylitol (Optional):
   • If you prefer a sweeter taste and want to discourage bacterial growth, add xylitol to the mixture and stir well.
5. Mix Thoroughly:
   • Stir the ingredients until you achieve a smooth, consistent paste.
6. Store in a Jar:
   • Transfer the toothpaste to a small, airtight jar for storage. Store it in a cool place.

Usage:

• Use the toothpaste on your toothbrush as you would with any commercial toothpaste.
• Be mindful that this toothpaste may have a dark color due to the activated charcoal, which can help whiten teeth.

Note:

• Adjust the consistency by adding more coconut oil or baking soda if needed.
• Activated charcoal may be abrasive, so use this toothpaste with care and avoid excessive scrubbing.

I have also shared a recipe that i can vouch for but it is more of Ayurveda based recipe. If you would like to check that out and compare both the recipes and use which works for you more.

I like the Ayurvedic one more since the ingredients are simple and more effective.

Herbal Homemade Toothpaste

While this recipe combines popular natural ingredients for oral health, individual preferences may vary. It’s important to note that homemade toothpaste may not contain fluoride, which is present in many commercial toothpaste brands and is known for its effectiveness in preventing tooth decay. If you have specific dental concerns or conditions, it’s advisable to consult with a dentist to ensure that your oral care routine is tailored to your needs.
