My Thoughts on - ‘Toothpaste #3’

Tonight i tried the last toothpaste recipe on this post: Toothpaste Post

I used regular sugar instead of stevia and ended up using 1/2 teaspoon (it probably could have used a bit more)

I also used peppermint extract instead of ‘oil’ and i don’t know if they are actually different or basically the same thing.

It did end up very salty tasting and only slightly minty. But the up side is that it does not leave any after taste so you don’t have to keep on tasting that salty flavor… which is good.

It seems to work well, although this is only my first time using it. My true test will be having my husband, who is really picky, try this. I think it would be something i would continue using. The salt taste is standable, and i believe that could lessen with more sugar and more flavorings.

At Wal-Mart in their craft/wedding section i bought some containers that almost look like old cafe ketchup bottles. I used that to put my homemade toothpaste in and i think it worked very well (although i had to prop it upside down).

I’ll write more after i get more info and opinions on it.
