3 tablespoons of extra virgin coconut oil
3 tablespoons of white clay
Why Opt for These Ingredients?
Baking Soda: Celebrated for its bacteria-fighting and teeth-whitening capabilities, baking soda is an economical and effective choice for oral care.
Essential Oil (Mint or Lemon): Infuses the toothpaste with a refreshing flavor and possesses antibacterial properties to keep your mouth clean and fresh.
Coconut Oil: Known for its potent antibacterial effects, coconut oil curtails the growth of Streptococcus mutans, a common culprit behind enamel erosion.
White Clay: Serves as a gentle yet effective cleanser, purifying the teeth without damaging the gums, thanks to its neutral pH level.
Preparation Method
In a bowl, combine all ingredients until you achieve a uniform paste consistency.
To use, simply wet your toothbrush and apply the mixture.
For storage, keep the toothpaste in a sterile glass container. Be mindful that coconut oil may solidify under cooler conditions, so it's advisable to prepare small batches for use within a week.
By integrating this homemade toothpaste into your daily routine, you not only enhance your oral hygiene regimen but also take a step towards a whiter, more vibrant smile.
