So, I mentioned I'm secret hippie, right? Come with me down the hippie rabbit hole, we're going to talk about making your own toothpaste. It's surprisingly easy and nothing at all like brushing your teeth with a poultice of patchouli and kale, like you would it think might be.
Buying toothpaste kind of sucks. It's expensive, no one tells you the difference between extreme whitening or 3D whitening, and you never know if it's going to one day peel the inside of your mouth off. Standard toothpastes have the unfortunate tendency to scrub away parts of my flesh and natural (or "natural", depending on the brand) don't clean my teeth worth a damn. Seriously, if you buy the Tom's of Maine SLS-free toothpaste, you might as well take lessons from Jessica Simpson and rub your teeth with your sleeve. And some of the ingredients of other brands...I'm not sure how the hell tea tree or myrrh are supposed to clean my teeth. But, I digress. Anyway, so I figured I had nothing to lose when my mom sent me a recipe for homemade remineralizing toothpaste from Everyday Paleo. It could not possibly be any worse than that Tom's SLS-free crap.
