homemade toothpaste

i have been looking for a toothpaste recipe for awhile now.  i just made this, and went to do the test brush...FABULOUS!


coconut oil toothpaste

• 3 tbsp coconut oil
• 3 tbsp baking soda
• 20-25 drops essential oil.  (i used lavendar because i am in love with the stuff! but feel free to use peppermint oil)
• 1tsp xylitol crystals
• 2 tsp vegetable glycerin (optional---makes it creamy and easier to spread on the brush)

mix it all together a glass baby food jar (works great for this---AND you are recycling/reusing something-BONUS!).  mix till creamy.  it's as simple as that!  enjoy!
