It depends on the source. Some people prefer virgin coconut oil, or no glycerine at all. You can also make some with just bentonite clay, sea salt, backing soda and peppermint. I do my best at keeping natural, but I know I'll never please everyone ;)

I've been meaning to start making my own natural products so I will def add this to the list! Thanks!! :)

[BeyondVitality]

[BeyondVitality]

@sefrot Glad you enjoyed.

Bentonite Clay can also be used...

Another point to mention: If you're going to use glycerine, make sure to use vegetable glycerine. (the stuff in the pharmacy is pharmaceutical glycerine which is from animal and/or petroleum-based oils)

I've noticed you didn't use hydrogen peroxide. I've seen so many variations, I'm just trying to figure out what is most used. One guy used a single drop of grapefruit seed extract and baking soda, nothing else. I'm going to try a couple of different ways, but I was just curious why you don't use hydrogen peroxide.

isnt glycerine a laxative?

[MsHobbitism]

Where did you get your Stevia? I'm trying to find it in a non-processed form. The organic brands are all processed/bleached

[BayleighVII]

Is there a healthier substitute for glycerin? I read it promotes tooth decay

The Egyptians (Kemites) made toothpaste from powdered pumice stone and strong wine vinegar that they brushed onto a chew stick. This was much different from the early Roman toothpaste that was made from human URINE(!), which the Romans also used as a mouth wash. In fact, Roman physicians around 100 AD claimed that brushing w/ urine whitened teeth and fixed them more firmly in the sockets. wealthy Roman women paid dearly for foreign urine, especially Portuguese urine. so much for roman greatness

Maybe you should do some research on what glycerin does to your teeth..
