In a medium bowl, combine the coconut oil and baking soda. Mix thoroughly.
Add the remaining ingredients and mix.
Store in a jar and scoop with a small spoon (to prevent bacteria from entering the container). For a squeezable toothpaste, use a squeeze bottle.
Note: When mixing bentonite clay, please use a wood or plastic spoon. Bentonite clay should not come in contact with metal because it deactivates the clay.
The consistency of this recipe can vary depending on the temperature where the toothpaste is stored due to the nature of coconut oil.
