Homemade Remineralizing Toothpaste Recipe [1]
Wellnessmama.com - 11/5/13, Katie Wellnessmama
GFP Commentary: Mixed up a batch of this this morning. Works very well. Tastes good, makes you mouth feel good, and doesn't irritate sensitive teeth. Coconut oil moisturizes and cleanses mouth and xylitol is a good anti-bacterial. This recipe gets an A++. Happy Smiling!
Toothpaste Ingredients:
- 5 parts Calcium powder [2] or Calcium Magnesium Powder [3]
- 1 part Diatomaceous Earth (optional- contains trace minerals and silica. UPDATE: A reader noted that DE can be abrasive and is not needed with the baking soda, so if you don’t have DE… no worries!)
- 2 parts Baking Soda
- 3 parts Xylitol Powder [4]- This ingredient is not completely necessary, but just keeps it from tasting bitter.
- 3-5 parts coconut oil [5]to get desired texture
- Optional ingredients: Essential oils for flavor (mint, cinnamon, and orange are all good), Grapefruit Seed Extract, Myrrh and Trace Minerals
