Ingredients
- 1 cup virgin organic coconut oil (solid form)
- 20 drops essential oil of your preference optional
- Hand mixer
Coconut Oil Toothpaste Recipe/Scrub
- 1 cup virgin organic coconut oil
- 1 cup baking soda/ sodium bicarbonate
- 3-5 drops peppermint essential oil (for toothpaste only)
Instructions
- To make homemade toothpaste using coconut oil, first, place the solid coconut oil into the hand mixer.
- Put the mixer on the highest setting and thoroughly whip the oil for 5-6 minutes. The texture of the oil should gradually become fluffier and increase in volume.
- If using the essential oils, add them to the whipped oil at this point and then whip the mixture for another 10-20 seconds to thoroughly mix the two.
- Store the whipped mixture in an airtight container and store in a dark, cool and dry place when not in use. This will increase the shelf life and lower the risk of the oil becoming rancid.
Coconut Oil Toothpaste Recipe/Scrub
- Follow instructions above to make whipped coconut oil, but do not add the essential oils.
- Once the whipped product is made, mix in the baking soda (this does not require a hand mixer).
- Then add the peppermint oil (for toothpaste only).
- Store this in a small airtight jar, away from excess heat, light or moisture.
