DIY Xylitol Toothpaste

Helen
This is the BEST toothpaste recipe I've EVER tried at home! It resembles commercial toothpaste in taste and texture and uses simple ingredients. Best of all it uses xylitol, known for its oral health benefits.

Prep Time 10 minutes

Equipment

  • 1 spoon, spatula, fork, bowl, measuring spoon and small spoons.
  • 1 glass jar or empty toothpaste tube

Ingredients
  

  • 4 tbsp Calcium Carbonate
  • 2 tbsp Powdered Xylitol
  • 1 tsp Extra Virgin Coconut Oil
  • 3 tsp Distilled Water
  • 2 drops Peppermint Essential Oil (optional)
  • 1/2 tsp Baking Soda
  • 1 Probiotic Capsule

Instructions
 

  • Add calcium carbonate to your bowl, powdered xylitol, bi-carb and the probiotic tablet. Mix all ingredients together with a fork until well incorporated.
  • Add 3 teaspoons of distilled water. If the mixture is still dry, add an extra 1/2 tsp of water at a time until it forms into a paste. Be careful not to add too much water or your toothpaste will turn out runny. Mix until no lumps remain.
  • Add your coconut oil and finally your peppermint oil. Place into your jar or toothpaste tube.

Notes

Lasts for approx. 1 week or 2 weeks when stored in the fridge.
Make sure to spit out your toothpaste in the trash to protect sink pipes from clogging due to coconut oil.
