Here’s more great info from Hands On Skills Fair instructor Kim Sims. She decided to start making her own toothpaste to reduce packaging, save money and use pure ingredients.
This is the base recipe but when she makes it she puts the dry ingredients in a jar and mixes them with a chopstick. When ready to brush she wets her toothbrush then touches it to the powder.
Tea Tree oil has some antiseptic properties and oils from the mint family give fresh breath.
Xylitol helps prevent tooth decay and sweetens the powder.
Here’s what the finished mixture looks like. Here’s to healthy teeth!
I'd love to hear from you!
