Non-Toxic Toothpaste?

by amy lee

I went into my bathroom cabinet today to look at the ingredients in my toothpaste.  I was surprised at what I was using.  I came across ingredients in my ‘organic toothpaste’ like sorbitol, sodium lauryl sulfate, xylitol, and fluoride. I then went to my local health food store, and surprisingly all of the toothpastes had an ingredient in it that I do not want to put in my mouth.  So I started doing some searching.  I came across some great homemade recipes, yet this one is my favorite…

Homemade toothpaste recipe:

Mix together:

3 parts baking soda

1 part sea salt

Sounds bland doesn’t it?  It is.  You can add:

cinnamon

dried citrus peels

anise

dried peppermint

A perfect way to store this toothpaste is in a salt shaker.  If you have any other ideas please comment and let us know!
