I am throwing the toothpaste back to the chemical gods!
New recipe - with xylitol, aluminum free baking soda and vitamin e.
Soap for your teeth in a lip balm style container. Why the lip balm container? I have found that it's perfect for travel and much more sanitary and easy to dispense.
This toothpaste soap actually started out as a custom order. After researching the 'said' benefits of using handmade soap to clean your teeth I thought I'd better give it a try for myself. I'm so glad I did. My teeth feel DO feel cleaner, I could actually feel the difference after my first brushing! And, I feel a lot safer using soap that I've made and with ingredients that I can actually pronounce! Although I'm going to have to get used to the taste (it is in fact soap). I feel so much better using a natural toothpaste, umm I mean soap. I've already thrown my shampoo and conditioner to the wind and am very thankful for my custom pearly white teeth order that has opened my eyes.
Here's a few things I've found out about using traditional toothpaste.
Fluoride is: toxic, once used as a rat poisoning and insecticide, a pollutant made of aluminum by products, can actually cause your teeth to crumble in large doses!

Glycerin is: great for your skin, but leaves a coat on your teeth that prevents natural re-enamelization.
For some more fun-filled reading trying searching out the benefits of brushing your teeth with soap verses using fluoride laden and teeth-coating glycerin filled toothpaste.
What's it taste like?
My tooth-brushing soap does taste good (for soap!), it's only handmade soap with a bit of extracts and a very small amount of essential oils. Did you know, you can brush your teeth with any handmade soap? Although I don't recommend using a fragrance oil soap.
Peppermint, anise, cinnamon, orange & lemon extracts with orange, spearmint and peppermint essential oils all blended together to make one herbal minty soapy taste.
A lip balm size tube will last me right around 3-4 weeks. I'm not a greedy person, but I don't recommend sharing.
Directions: Wet your toothbrush and swipe the soap tube a couple of times. You wont need much, rinse about 3 times.

Essential Oils... Maybe you are wondering if essential oils are right for you. Along with skin loving goodness my soap may also contain essential oils. Although they are all natural and used in low dilutions they are not recommended for pregnant women, children, or anyone with existing medical conditions. Please use your best, wise judgment and research essential oils, their properties, effects, benefits and cautions when using them. There's a great wealth of information online and it's just a click away. Enjoy (-:
