Ingredients

½

 

c baking soda

¼

 

c hydrogen peroxide (you can add more or less, depending on the consistency you like)

1–3

 

drops peppermint essential oil

1–2

 

drops tea tree oil

Directions

    I've been using the following recipe for homemade toothpaste for over six months now, and I love it! So easy to mix up, very effective, and there’s not a harmful chemical in sight.

    If you want a smoother feel, you can add vegetable glycerin, and for a sweeter taste, you can add powdered stevia. It may take a little getting used to, but it’s so cheap and easy, and it allows you to avoid the fluoride and additives found in conventional toothpastes.
