I looked into a lot of recipes and did some experimenting until I found one that I LOVE. It took a bit of getting used to, because it is salty, but now I really really love it. I don't like mint or cinamon flavored things, and never liked the taste of toothpaste. I make mine with cardamom, clove, and bergamot oils and I LOVE the way it tastes. Did I mention I love it?
Yet another store-bought item out of my life!
Here is the recipe:
6 teaspoons baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt (for abrasion)
4 teaspoons glycerine
1/2 teaspoon hydrogen peroxide
15 drops of essential oils (for flavor, not an "essential" ingredient)
Mix everything together and dip your brush in!
One caveat -- be sure that the essential oils you use are safe forconsumption!
