Plastic free toothpaste!



Your typical toothpaste comes in non-recyclable plastic tubes. Did you know you can make your very own teeth-whitening, breath-freshening blend right at home in a reusable container? Plus, the ingredients are super simple to find at your local stores and online, ready to order. That’s something to smile about!!
Here’s what you need:
- 1 ½ tsp baking soda*
*Note: you can alter the amount of baking soda to your preference. For deep cleaning, add an additional ½ teaspoon. Or, if you have more sensitive teeth, use just 1 teaspoon. - 2 tbsp coconut oil
- 1-2 tsp peppermint extract (or experiment by adding other extracts in your favourite flavour, like orange, vanilla, or cinnamon!)
- A small reusable container. This is a great chance to upcycle your jam jars!
Here’s how you make it:
Step 1:

Place all the ingredients together in your reusable container.
Step 2:

Mix until you create a smooth paste.
Step 3:

Apply a small amount of natural toothpaste to your toothbrush and brush away!
Step 4:

SMILE!
