How do they make toothpaste?

Can I make my own toothpaste?

  • I make a lot of things on my own and I do a good job saving money! Is it possible to make your own toothpaste? Are the ingredients in toothpaste sold to the public?

  • Answer:

    Hey girl how you been?? Hows the hubby doing... hope he is safe and well as well as your family. Now to answer your question. http://www.mizar5.com/toothpst.htm This website has a recipe that looks good to try. ALSO I head of this book called clean house clean planet by karen logan Its about making hose hold cleaners safer for the environment and your children. You never think about this but it was the talk with the book. KIDS how many kids lick windows. I know its gross but toddlers have been known to put things in their mouth as well as lick windows. So instead of using windex thats harm full you can make a vinager lemon water cleaner its safe and leaves a streak free shine.

Pour a half of a cup (110g) of baking soda into a mixing bowl . Baking soda has a natural cleansing ability and can even be found in some commercial toothpastes. It's non-toxic and will help polish your teeth. Some recipes call for table salt, in which case you should mix three parts of baking soda with one part of table salt. Add three teaspoons (15g) of glycerine for every 1/4 cup (55g) of dry mixture. This is optional; it acts as a sweetener. An alternative is stevia. Add 1/4 cup (60g) of household hydrogen peroxide and one drop of peppermint oil. Hydrogen peroxide naturally disinfects your mouth and will also help whiten your teeth. If you don't have it around, use water. The drop of peppermint oil will leave your mouth feeling fresh. Hydrogen peroxide breaks down very quickly in the presence of UV light, so it is necessary to store the toothpaste away from sunlight. If you're not into the peppermint flavor, some alternatives are ground cinnamon, vanilla extract, fennel, ginger, and almond extract. Whatever it is, make sure it doesn't have sugar added or that it isn't strongly acidic, since acids will produce a fizzing reaction with the baking soda. Mix the hydrogen peroxide and baking soda until it is a paste . If you need to, mix in more hydrogen peroxide until you get the right consistency. Store the toothpaste in a small plastic container where it won't dry out. You can also purchase a small, empty lotion bottle so that you can squeeze out the toothpaste onto the toothbrush more easily, rather than dip it.

take baking soda put it in a dish and then wet down your toothbrush and rub into the baking soda. I do this every so often but not daily because it usually makes my gums sore, but makes my teeth very very clean
