How to make natural peppermint toothpaste

If you're starting with calcium tablets or capsules start by crushing them into a powder or dumping the capsules contents into a bowl.

My husband for a fancy shmancy coffee grinder so I repurposed this small one for myself. 😉 Does a great job!

Combine calcium powder with baking soda and xylitol (this a sweetener that keeps it from tasting bitter.)

Mix well!

Melt coconut oil.

Add to powder mixture. Stir well to combine. This batch came out grainy, I'm going to try melting the xylitol in a double boiler in the coconut oil next time. If you try this and it works let me know!

Add peppermint oil. Not an essential oil! Make sure this is ingestible in case you swallow.

Oila! Enjoy!
