Step-by-step
- Mix all ingredients well in a bowl.
- Using an immersion blender will give you more of a whipped paste.
- Transfer paste to a jar, I love these small jelly jars for all my beauty/cosmetic storage.
- Each family member can have their own jar, but not necessary.
- You can also put your paste into a ziplock bag, cut a hole in the end and squeeze onto toothbrush.
- Or you can put your paste into a BPA-free squeeze bottle.
Commercial toothpastes rely on synthetic thickening agents and harsh detergents to maintain a stable tube consistency, whereas this formulation utilizes coconut oil as a pliable, natural lipid base. Fine cosmetic clays and sea salt provide the necessary mild abrasiveness for mechanical plaque removal without scratching enamel surfaces.
Texture Adjustment and Equipment Techniques
Coconut oil solidifies at room temperature below 76 degrees Fahrenheit, meaning your finished paste will firm up significantly in cooler bathrooms. Incorporating three to five tablespoons of oil requires careful titration; start with three tablespoons and add more only if the mixture remains too crumbly to hold its shape on a brush. Utilizing an immersion blender rather than a manual spoon incorporation shears the clay particles thoroughly, yielding a smooth, whipped emulsion that prevents gritty separation during storage.
Storage and Mineral Dispersion
Trace minerals disperse evenly when blended into the liquid fat phase prior to adding dry powders. Storing the finished paste in small, airtight glass jelly jars prevents airborne contamination and limits moisture absorption over a standard four-week storage window. Avoiding metal utensils when scooping prevents potential reactivity with the clay minerals, ensuring the mixture maintains its chemical integrity throughout use.
