toothsoap....and other things.

So I made my own toothsoap. With my hypothyroidism, excess fluoride might not be such a great idea.
Tom's toothpaste is ridiculously expensive, and I had all the ingredients to make toothsoap. First impression- it's soapy. Go figure. Not minty enough either, but my teeth feel clean. So, here is what I did:
I mixed 4 tablespoons of coconut oil, 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 1 tablespoon of baking soda, and 2 tablespoons of Dr. Bronner's peppermint castile soap. Then added a few drops of peppermint essential oil. Just dip brush and use.

Next time, less soap.
Stay tuned for my adventures in deodorant, laundry detergent, and dishwasher detergent.
