Let’s Make Homemade Toothpaste

Aim:

To make homemade toothpaste.

Stuff you’ll need:


Baking Soda
Coconut oil
Essential peppermint oil
Water


Do this


Mix a fifty/fifty ratio of coconut oil to baking soda on a plate. Start with a small batch first and then make more as needed. Add a few drops of essential peppermint oil for sweetness and flavor. Mix up and keep in glass container*. Then spoon out or dip your toothbrush into as needed.

* The mixture does not need to be refrigerated but note that coconut oil is liquid at about 76 degrees so the mixture may change consistency with the weather.
Result:
This toothpaste is fantastic! I brushed my teeth with it and they felt really clean. Doesn’t taste quite as good as the commercial stuff but I’m sure I’ll get used to it.
What’s the deal?
Homemade toothpaste is a great science project to do with kids. It’s easy, fun and saves money.


Conclusion

Making homemade toothpaste is easy to do and way better for you! Also it’s a great way to do some science with kids.
