Homemade Zero Waste toothpaste: how to make it in 3 steps

How to make a homemade Zero Waste toothpaste in 3 steps? Here’s a recipe that is easier and faster than you would think. The only thing we’d like to highlight is that our homemade Zero Waste toothpaste is a powder, which has a texture and a flavor that are completely different from mass production toothpastes, but of course it’s as much effective as the other ones. It may take a day or two to get used to the flavor and to the absence of foam – which is not a cleaning agent, but just a placebo for our minds. Said so, we don’t know if this recipe is easier, faster or cheaper: actually, the three of them!

How to make your homemade Zero Waste toothpaste

It only takes 3 ingredients:

• 3 spoons of white clay (it’s important to use wooden or clay spoons and cups, NO METALS, as they alter the clay)
• 1 spoon of baking soda
• 20/25 drops of tea tree oil

Simply mix them and store them in a small jar with a secure seal. Generally speaking, if we want to make more or less, the important thing is to keep the proportions. These quantities are enough for more than a month. Do you have some more Zero Waste suggestions and solutions? Write us! We’ll be happy to add it to our list and inspire always more people.
