I've been trying to find a toothpaste recipe that I can try out at home if there's any suggestions let me know! When I find one I've tried I'll post it.
Well it's been 3 days and I don't stink ...(there are people around me who would let me know) I'm very surprised how well it works! You have to get use to using it the coconut oil that holds it all together, it melts with skin contact, so you don't need to put as much on as you do with store bought deodorant . so if you want to try it (and you should): 1/4 c. baking soda 1/4 c. cornstarch and 10 drops tea tree oil (it's cleansing) you can just use that in a powder or add 2 + Tab. of coconut oil for a stick ( I melted my coconut oil in the microwave) mix it all together smash it in to an old deodorant container... Coconut oil is hard at room temperature so you can let it sit and it will firm up or.. I put mine in the freezer for a few min. to make it hard. if you don't live some were hot you can keep it in your bathroom if you have a problem with it being to soft keep it in the refrigerator... I hear you can use lavender oil as well. I have not tried it yet but...
There are a few things you can use to brush your teeth. I really like plain baking powder. I've also used aloe gel (the 100% stuff, not the green kind you put on a sunburn). In the 19th century they used tooth powder that was mint flavored. So I was thinking there had to be a way to flavor baking powder with mint... Crushed mint leaves? Anyway, to make the paste, I put some baking powder in my hand and wet my toothbrush and dab it in the powder. It's also a gentle abrasive for whitening. :-) Not much of a recipe, but I thought I'd pass it on!
