DIY: How to make your own Toothpaste

If you search the internet for household products you can make at home, I’m sure you’ll find a lot.  In fact, I even put together 18 household products you can make at home. One of the ways I save money is to make my own toothpaste. DIY toothpaste is number 2 in the list. I don’t use it all of the time, but I like to switch it out every now and then my store bought toothpaste.  I am more concerned now with the chemicals I use.  When I make my DIY toothpaste, I know exactly what is in it.  I’ll show you how to make your own toothpaste.

It is very easy and economical to make your you own toothpaste.  You only need a few ingredients.

For this DIY toothpaste, you’ll need some baking soda, coconut oil, mint oil, and optional sweetener like Stevia of Xylitol.
