I am all about making my own everyday, all-natural products at home. Making my own mint coconut toothpaste seemed like the next big step in my homesteading journey. It was a great way to ditch store-bought toothpaste and switch to something homemade with ingredients I trust and know the source.
This simple recipe uses only a few ingredients. It’s all-natural and made with coconut oil, baking soda, and peppermint.
Follow these easy steps to create your homemade toothpaste.
