Make Your Own Toothpaste
Make your own toothpaste.
If you're worried about all the chemicals, preservatives, and other questionable ingredients you can't even pronounce that are found in many commercially produced toothpastes, why not make your own? It's easier to do than you probably think, in fact here's a recipe I found over at Care2:

Homemade Toothpaste
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp sea salt, finely ground
1 drop peppermint, spearmint, sweet orange, clove, or cinnamon bark essential oil (for flavor)
A few drops water
Mix the ingredients together in a bowl until a smooth, thick paste forms (if the paste is too runny it won't stay on your toothbrush).
Done! Now just use it as you would regular store bought toothpaste. Any ideas for handy storage/dispensing?
