The classic toothpastes sold in the supermarkets contain chemical ingredients that it is best to avoid ingesting, although they are found in many commercial cosmetics! If you want to make your own natural toothpaste, here are 4 recipes that are very easy to make at home. If you prefer to buy your toothpaste, go for organically produced ones. 

1) Clay and mint home-made toothpaste

Here is the list of ingredients you will need:

  • 2 dessertspoons of green clay
  • 1 dessertspoon of bicarbonate of soda
  • 2 to 3 cloves
  • 2 drops of mint or organic lemon essential oil
  • 1 glass of water

Mix all of the above ingredients with an infusion of herbs or hydrosol (flower water), for example using the glass of water with the essential oil, until you obtain a toothpaste like texture. You can add two drops of grapefruit seed extract in order to conserve the toothpaste for more than 2 days. 

2) Natural clay and chamomile toothpaste

For the following ingredients, go for clays that are marked “superfine”:

  • 1 teaspoon of white clay
  • 6 cloves reduced to a powder
  • 1 teaspoon of chamomile reduced to a powder
  • 1 pinch or organic ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon of bicarbonate of soda or iris root powder

Mix the ingredients and keep the powder in a clean jar. When you go to brush your teeth, put a small amount of this powder on your toothbrush, dampen it under a trickle of water and use it to brush your teeth, rinsing afterwards as normal.

  • 2 dessertspoons of organic coconut oil
