    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!

    THIS RECIPE IS...


    • Whitening
    • Mineralizing
    • Antimicrobial

Thanks to the warming notes of cinnamon and allspice, it's great for those chilly mornings. However, it’s the rich vanilla flavour that makes it so irresistible!

Especially when using @javasistersvanilla Vanilla Extract. It comes with the bean in, which gives it a stronger, more robust flavour, almost like you are using the bean itself! So. Dang. Delicious 👏

Add some extra lavishness and warmth to your smoothie by topping it with a sprinkle of cinnamon, and you will be in heaven ✨

    2022, it's been a slice ✌️ As each year bring 2022, it's been a slice ✌️

As each year brings, 2022 brought many moments to be grateful for, a few new skills and lots of growth through both the struggles and triumphs. 2022, for me, was truly a year of tuning out to tune in. And I’m so excited to see what this next chapter brings.

    What’s your must-have holiday cookie? For me, b What’s your must-have holiday cookie?

For me, being a sucker for those warming spices, Gingerbread is at the top of that list. A close second to my Gran’s shortbread (which I still have yet to master a healthified version 🤞).

But, at least for now, I can count on these crunchy gingerbread cookies to satisfy my festive cravings.

Traditionally spiced with just the right amount of crunch, they taste just like the real deal. But, without the refined sugar, gluten and dairy ⛄️
