Beauty Recipe: How to Make Your Own Herbal Toothpaste (or rather your own tooth powder!)—using all natural ingredients!

With permission granted by Mountain Rose Herbs, I am very excited to present to you a video on how to make your very own teeth cleaner! With just a few ingredients you can clean your teeth without having to buy expensive toothpastes in the store. The ingredients that you will be using can be used for other beauty recipes and they store for a very long time, so no worries on the ingredients going bad quick.  Also these ingredients are all natural and organic, and there are no petro- chemicals or any bad substances in this tooth powder.

Many teeth cleaners (toothpaste) and including the so called natural toothpastes that you buy in the market are filled with harmful ingredients. Some of these ingredients include Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (same ingredient used in garage floor cleaners!–isn’t that gross?), artificial sweeteners (such as saccharin), preservatives, colors or flavors, amongst other dangerous substances which I will not list as that is meant for another post.  All you have to do is to look at the ingredient list on the toothpaste and you’ll see a whole list of bad stuff. Doing a bit of homework on what is in your beauty products, you’ll quickly find out that a lot of beauty products are loaded with cancer causing bad stuff!

Enough of the “bad” stuff! Let’s get to the “good” stuff! An instruction video on how to make your own teeth cleaner! Mountain Rose Herbs carries all the ingredients you need for this recipe, OR you can go on a hunt for these items, but to save time and energy I will using Mountain Rose Herbs. I trust what they stand for (being all organic and from quality sources, etc.).

Just in case you are not able to see the video I have written down the ingredients and instructions below:
Ingredients:

1/4 cup White Kaolin Cosmetic Clay

1/4 cup Baking Soda

1/4 cup Dead Sea Salt (or other good quality sea salt)

1 tablespoon dried organic Sage (off of your spice rack is fine too).

30 drops Spearmint Essential Oil

Small storage jar with lid

Instructions:

Mix the white kaolin clay, baking soda, and sea salt together in a bowl (you can use your clean hands for this). Grind sage down to a fine powder using a mortar and pestle  or you can try using a coffee grinder. Add sage to the mix and then add 30 drops of the spearmint essential oil mixing together well. Pour into your clean storage jar.

Just shake a small amount of this powder into one of your hands, wet your toothbrush and pick up the powder in your hand with the toothbrush.

Have fun with your teeth!!
