When you are allergic to BOP, it's really hard to find a toothpaste that doesn't contain vanilla, mint or cinnamon. So, enter in the idea to make your own toothpaste. After a little searching, I came across a homemade recipe in which I can omit the flavoring.
Homemade Toothpaste
2 Tablespoons Coconut Oil
3 Tablespoons Baking Soda
Mix ingredients and store in airtight container.
Now, I tasted this one and admittedly, it tastes AWFUL! I was hoping that with the use of coconut oil, the taste would somehow be better and I wouldn't miss the mint or cinnamon flavorings, but not so. We'll have to tweak this one a bit. For now, I can at least rest assured that I'm cleaning my teeth with something that won't aggravate my allergies.
