Learn how to make a healthy, whitening Homemade Charcoal Toothpowder! It's simple, quick and only requires a handful of ingredients.

If you're anything like me, a new DIY challenge is always accepted. I would make just about everything myself if I had the time and means. However, there are some things that I carve out time to make myself because I know it's better for my health.

Once I started making Homemade Charcoal Toothpowder, I never turned back. It can be hard to find a clean toothpaste or powder in my small town. So, I dedicated some time to create my own. It's surprisingly easy and much better for your health! Click here, to learn more about holistic oral care.

NATURAL INGREDIENTS & HOW THEY WORK

BENTONITE CLAY

Bentonite clay is the base of this Charcoal Toothpowder. It is packed full of minerals, which remineralize your teeth! It's also mildly abrasive, which gently removes plaque and tartar.

ACTIVATED CHARCOAL

Activated charcoal is great when it comes to keeping your mouth clean and your teeth white! It has absorbent properties that pick up toxins, bacteria, plaque, tartar and food particles, leaving a squeaky clean mouth and the pearly whites shining bright.

ALUMINUM-FREE BAKING SODA

Baking soda is commonly known to be beneficial for oral care. It's also abrasive, removing plaque, tartar as well as stains, and it helps prevent tooth decay by neutralizing cavity-causing acids

HIMALAYAN / SEA SALT

Natural, unrefined salts are very high in minerals, so the salt, like bentonite clay, helps to remineralize your teeth, keeping them strong and healthy.

CINNAMON

Cinnamon contains natural antifungal and antibacterial properties that can help prevent tooth decay as well as bad breath!

WINTERGREEN ESSENTIAL OIL

Wintergreen essential oil not only adds that minty freshness, but also has antibacterial properties that help prevent tooth decay. On top of that, it has analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties and is often used for pain relief, making it a great addition if you have sensitive teeth!
