Brightening Tooth Powder
This DIY brightening tooth powder whitens without the harsh, irritating chemicals thanks to a few simple, natural ingredients.
Yield: 1 cup
Cost: $10
Equipment
- Small bowl
- Glass jar with lid
Materials
- ¼ cup NOW® Solutions Bentonite Clay Powder
- 2 tablespoons baking soda
- 1 tablespoon NOW® Calcium Carbonate Powder
- 1 tablespoon NOW Real Food® Xylitol finely ground in a coffee grinder
- 20 drops NOW® Clove Essential Oil
- 10 drops NOW® Myrrh Essential Oil
Instructions
- Combine all ingredients in a small bowl and stir together with a plastic or wooden spoon (metal is said to deactivate the clay, and while I’m not sure if that’s actually true, it's better to be safe than sorry).

- To use, sprinkle a little on a wet tooth brush and brush your teeth like normal.
Notes
Store tooth powder in a cool dry place and use within 1-2 months.
