How to make your own diy zero waste toothpaste

[@debbiemiller9762]

As a dental hygienist I personally say skip the fluoride. Our goal is to brush and floss away plaque to prevent decay. You do that and you don't need fluoride.

[@lillyprice2587]

I really appreciate how you took the time to really educate yourself and share the knowledge on your video along with the recipe!!

Thank you for the toothpaste info! I'd like to add that we all should discover that these catch phrases like "zero waste" are not what we're told they mean. I've been researching this for several years and have found that what's happening with our garbage (the trucks all have "zero waste" printed on them) is that they're "telling us" that the garbage is not actually being dumped onto the land taking up more and more valuable land. The garbage is actually being broken down by natural processes where it converts to methane gas, the primary component of natural gas. Methane naturally rises and they pipe it into the natural gas system from deep underground (where it's being broken down) and it rises on its own through the natural gas piping system. The pressure is likely boosted as it travels to our homes. My theory sounds crazy to most people, but if you do lots of independent research and apply logic, you may see that this makes logical sense. The bottom line for the gas company is huge since they're getting free raw material (our garbage) which we pay the garbage company to pick up.

I live in Sweden and where I live we have to divide our household waste in to 8 bins. One of them is food waste and that goes to making biogas that buses run on. Some paper, like newespaper, paper towels, and the paper trash bags used for food waste, go in there to. The Gov is very open about this and even if you live in a single family home, you must divide out your food waste so that biogas for public transport can be made. So your theory doesn't sound one bit crazy to me. I'm living it in real time and it's great 👍And I'm sure there are other countries doing this to so it's very much a real thing, since like decades or so 😊

Plastics take forever to break down. Not sure if landfills process it somehow to make it break down faster,but that would also take more energy to do. 🤔

I'm from India and here in olden days we used neem sticks to brush our teeth and it has lot of benefits

[@BottegaZeroWaste]

That's super interesting! I have heard neem has amazing properties but didn't know you could use them as toothpaste:)

[@SuperEnchantedone]

@@BottegaZeroWaste hehehe those neem sticks are both toothbrush and toothpaste

[@leonorriosmorales1374]

I made the recipe yesterday, great!!! really lov it!!

[@MemoryPallace]

Good recipe is cinnamon, powdered egg shells, clove, and when your done coconut oil. Most essential oils are fake unless you know the farm or make then yourself. Organic or not at all.

[@shanalee3866]

Just want to add that in addition to being an abrasive, charcoal is also packed with minerals that are great for teeth.

[@MyCraftyMind4U]

I was just considering making toothpaste thank you so much perfect timing also the bloopers were great thanks for the information very informative I’ll be doing some more research. I’m really glad I found your channel.

[@Ilinca924]

Hey, Marta. Do you think it is ok to use vegetable glycerin instead of coconut oil? What do you think about glycerin, is it ok for the environment? :)

[@garciabreu]

I am a dentist and i use fluor free toothpaste, so its fine.

[@MOAB-UT]

Great video. No to any fluoride. No to charcoal. Yes to coconut oil EVCO. Do you have any alternatives to abrasive baking soda? Just something to thicken it up. Using the much smaller amount is a great tip. I don't want to use bentonite clay because it often has elevated levels of lead according to the FDA so that's a No. Good tips on the essential oils- probably best avoided completely. Also, do you refrigerate this or leave it out on the counter? Also, probably would help to use a dark glass jar to protect the shelf life of the ingredients.

[@zenaasura1769]

Duuuuude why don't you sell your soaps online????? Personally I'm a full time electrician and I have no desire to make anything at home I'd rather support you and buy my shampoo bars etc

[@mdgolamazamrotun6993]

Thank you for your recipe.

[@portabjoan]

Thanks for the recipe! I was thinking, there is stevia powder that looks just like the xylitol. Could we do the toothpaste without that ingredient?

[@v.j.l.4073]

Don't skip the xylitol. It is one of the best ingredients in this for tooth health. Search youtube for info.

[@Stravv8erry]

How do you harden the paste? Looks a bit too liquid.

[@shubhraagarwal9250]

I used charcoal toothpowder for around 5 months, and my saliva constantly had a noticeable smell. Is there something I did wrong? What's the correct way to use it so that my mouth doesn't smell?

[@Your_Danka]

Hi, I am from smaller country and it is hard to find calcium bentonite clay, but i found one that is just bentonite clay with minerals like Fe and Al, it is white powder, can I use this one, or it is only for external use?

[@BottegaZeroWaste]

Hi Dani, please check with the supplier if it's suitable for internal use!

[@corablomberg7883]

Is it possible to use peppermint extract instead of essential oils?

[@sofiavelez7840]

hello! I am very eager to make this but have recently discovered that the production of xylitol is not eco friendly and has a negative environmental impact. is there an eco substituted for this? :)

[@maricarol85]

You can use xylitol that's made from non GMO corn, instead of using xylitol made from birch.

[@giulia1204]

I loved the bloopers haha That's me all the f*cking time.

[@BottegaZeroWaste]

Ahaha 😂 it was so funny I had to share

[@saratorvi2619]

Il fluoro è fondamentale per la salute dei denti ^^ un dentifricio fluorato andrebbe utilizzato sempre, almeno due volte al giorno, a meno di non trovarsi in determinate zone del mondo in cui viene fluorata l'acqua (per esempio in America) per garantire l'apporto di fluoro minimo

[@kims8363]

No metal when it comes to activated charcoal is what ive heard... but not sure it thats true or not. Thank u for this recipe.

[@namieschowgurow4779]

If I use bentonite clay there's no use using calcium powder?

[@letstalkaboutlife493]

thank you for recipe

[@debbiewittig7478]

Fluoride is poisen!

[@dataed5335]

Can we use calcium minerals vitamin d supplements for paste?

[@Jaysus117]

i have the same teaspoons!!

[@thenewclever]

love the bloopers!! HAHA!!

[@amykent2369]

Do they foam?

[@BottegaZeroWaste]

I added 2 tabs of solid toothpaste so it foamed and had fluoride in it too!

[@FreakyHorsesmiles]

All that then you add FLUORIDE!! WHAT!!! Dear God

[@corvidae2741]

Perfect timing, I was just looking into this!

[@g.0-generationzerouk691]

♡ Great tips!

[@joannamarinas2713]

I am inspired by this!

[@joannamarinas2713]

hi mam! will it be harmful if I am going to add a little more of xylitol to make it more sweet?

[@jothianandjothi9971]

Thanks to you

[@marcellac978]

If you can't use metal with bentonite clay, will the bentonite react with my amalgam fillings in my teeth?

[@BottegaZeroWaste]

I think it should be ok, worst that can happen is that the charge of the clay is not as "strong" but there is debate around whether this is actually true at such low concentrations.

[@Ms.AnnThrope]

Adding a dental tablet with FLUORIDE in it defeats the purpose of making a homemade toothpaste.🤦‍♀️ You might as well add the other harmful chemicals they put in.

[@camillavolpini2730]

Qualche video in Italiano arriverà mai? 😍 comunque io avevo trovato una ricetta per il dentifricio: 1,5 cucchiai di Bicarbonato, 1 Cucchiaio di olio di cocco e 5/7 gocce di olio essenziale. Ma mi hai fatto venire dei dubbi sulle quantità di Bicarbonato e di oli essenziali 🤔

[@BottegaZeroWaste]

Hai ragione! mi piacerebbe fare tipo una serie in Italiano :D Allora secondo me questa ricetta ha troppo bicarbonato e oli essenziali, diminuisci un pochino perchè il bicarbonato è abrasivo, troppo potrebbe impattare lo smalto dei denti. E anche gli oli essenziali terrei massimo 2-3 gocce!

[@camillavolpini2730]

Bottega Zero Waste grazie mille del consiglio! E io approvo al 100% la serie in italiano 🤣

[@Yohao88]

1- ci ho messo troppo a capire che eri italiana (anche se ho visto il nome del canale). 2- grazie mille per le ricette!!!!!! le più facili e stress free che ho visto finora! 3- visto che stavo cercando queste ricette, ho visto un post di un dentista che consigliava l'uso dell'olio di anice anziché menta perché è più leggero contro i batteri "utili" che ci dobbiamo tenere in bocca. Peccato che l'anice sia MOLTO particolare come gusto. :/

[@BottegaZeroWaste]

Ahah mi fa piacere! Hai ragione l'anice non piace a tutti, io non la amo particolarmente :)

[@thenewclever]

Does Bentonite clay not have aliminium in it ?

[@jeniferarokiaraj4615]

Really amazing dr.... love frm india...

[@julieluckey3559]

What about the mouthwash recipe? 😻

[@BottegaZeroWaste]

I will publish it next week just to make this long video a little lighter :D

[@suchismitagupta]

Yes few essential oils make the tummy hurt

[@bornfreealways1199]

@Bottega Zero Waste Fluoride is a poison

[@kevontrotman9008]

Fluoride is bad period

[@megan_beveridge]

Ma troppo bello sentirti parlare in italiano! 😂

[@BottegaZeroWaste]

Aahah! Non sapevo parlassi in Italiano! Stavo parlando con il mio ragazzo Jacopo comunque che è sempre a fianco a me a lavorare mentre faccio questi video :D

[@megan_beveridge]

@@BottegaZeroWaste si, mio marito è di Milano, ma viviamo in Australia! Parliamo solo italiano con i nostri bimbi 😊
