Try making your own toothpaste, it`s easy, cheap and very effective.
All you need is 3 parts baking soda, 1 part sea salt and a little essential oil for flavor (opt.). Put a couple tablespoons of the salt into a coffee/spice grinder and zap it a few times to make it fine, add six tablespoons of the soda and about a dozen drops of your oil,if useing,(I use peppermint)and zap it a little more to mix. Keep your toothbrush in a small glass of hydrogen peroxide, go right from there into the powder and then brush. This stuff cleans and whitens.
You can also make your own soaps, it`s really quite easy. Use coconut, palm, and olive oil. It`s great for your hair and works well in a shaving mug.
