Easy DIY Cardamom Toothpaste Recipe
An all natural refreshing herbal toothpaste using cardamom, baking soda, coconut oil, and salt
Ingredients
- 2 TBSP baking soda
- 3 TBSP coconut oil
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp ground cardamom
Instructions
- In a clean, dry bowl, start to combine the dry ingredients. Combine the baking soda and salt. Add the ground cardamom to the mixture.
- Gradually add the coconut oil to the dry ingredients. Mix until you have a smooth, creamy toothpaste. Don’t melt the coconut oil all the way when combining, or the dry ingredients may settle to the bottom once the coconut oil re-solidifies.
- Once your cardamom toothpaste is well mixed, transfer it to a clean container with a lid.
- To use, simply scoop a small amount of the cardamom toothpaste onto your toothbrush and brush your teeth as you would with regular toothpaste. Spit out as you normally would.
- Store the toothpaste in a cool, dry place. Coconut oil may solidify in cooler temperatures, so if it becomes too firm, you can warm it slightly to make it easier to use.
Notes
Store toothpaste at room temperature in an airtight glass container. Coconut oil, one of the ingredients, may solidify in cooler temperatures, so storing it at room temperature is generally ideal. If the toothpaste becomes too firm, you can warm it slightly to make it more pliable.
