Equipment
- 1 60ml/2oz. glass jar (preferably amber)
Ingredients
1. The Best DIY Remineralising Toothpaste
- 4 tablespoon bentonite clay food-grade, about 60 g
- 1 tablespoon xylitol
- 1 tablespoon calcium carbonate optional
- 3-4 tablespoon coconut oil melted, about 50 g when solid
- 10 drops peppermint essential oil
2. Antibacterial Cinnamon Toothpaste
- 4 tablespoon bentonite clay or kaolin clay, food-grade, about 60 g
- 1 tablespoon xylitol
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 3-4 tablespoon coconut oil or sesame or olive oil
- 5 drops cinnamon essential oil
3. Charcoal Whitening Toothpaste
- 4 tablespoon bentonite clay or kaolin clay, food-grade, about 60 g
- 1 tablespoon xylitol
- ½ teaspoon activated charcoal
- 3–4 tablespoon coconut oil or sesame or olive oil
- 10 drops peppermint essential oil
Instructions
- In a small bowl, mix the dry ingredients first, then add the oils.
- Stir into a smooth paste, adding more oil if needed.
- Store in a sealed, clean jar, ideally out of direct sunlight.
Notes
- It’s recommended to avoid using metal when handling clay and activated charcoal, as it may disrupt their natural electric charge, potentially reducing their effectiveness.
- I always grind xylitol into a fine powder using a high-speed blender before adding it to my toothpaste. This makes it easier to mix in.
