Homemade Tooth Powder Without Baking Soda: Natural, Remineralizing Recipe
By Roslyn
November 19, 2025
"You’ve likely heard of using baking soda to brush your teeth. And while it may do a great job, I personally can not handle the taste of baking soda. Some also find it’s abrasiveness can be hard on their gums. So, when I wanted to start using a homemade natural toothpaste or tooth powder, a must have for me was for it to be baking soda free.
Not only is this tooth powder a great alternative to a baking soda toothpaste, in my opinion it works better as well. It’s packed with mineral filled ingredients that help to naturally balance the acids in your mouth, and naturally remineralize your teeth.
In this post, you’ll learn how to make tooth powder with #BentoniteClay and #CalciumCarbonate."

Xylitol-free version [uses Stevia] How to Make #ToothPowder
Medically reviewed by Cristian Macau, DDS
Last Updated: March 10, 2025
"Things You'll Need
Many of the key ingredients in toothpaste can be purchased in stores and mixed together to make a homemade tooth powder. Making your own tooth powder is easy and the results may even improve the health of your teeth. Keep in mind that any homemade tooth powder will not contain fluoride, which replaces minerals, fights bacteria, and strengthens tooth enamel."

Remineralizing #ToothPowder Recipe
By Merilin Vrachovska Posted on
June 24, 2021
Updated on April 15, 2026
"Creating your homemade tooth powder is one of my favorite DIYs. It’s affordable, effective, and gives you full control over what goes into your oral care routine.
Plus, it promotes remineralization – a natural process that helps repair and strengthen enamel to prevent decay.
In this guide, I’ll show you how to make a simple and sustainable DIY remineralizing tooth powder, why each ingredient matters, how to use it, and answer common questions based on my personal experience.
Unlike conventional toothpaste, this one contains no fillers, foaming agents, or unnecessary additives. It’s pure, natural, and effective.
Ingredients & benefits
Bentonite clay
Bentonite clay is naturally mineral-rich (calcium, magnesium, silica) and gently abrasive. It raises your mouth’s pH and binds to toxins and bacteria, making it perfect for oral detox. It’s not abrasive enough to damage enamel and helps reduce bad breath.
Always use food-grade bentonite clay from a reputable source. Because it’s sourced from the earth, it can absorb heavy metals if not tested properly. Avoid using metal utensils when handling them – use ceramic, glass, or wood instead.
Alternatives: Kaolin clay is also effective if you don’t have bentonite.
Where to buy plastic-free bentonite clay: Zero Waste Bulk (the US), A Drop In The Ocean (the US), All Things Being Eco (Canada), Zero waste store (Australia).
Baking soda
Baking soda is an antimicrobial powerhouse. It gently polishes teeth, helps neutralize acids in the mouth, and supports enamel remineralization.
Studies have shown that brushing with baking soda reduces plaque and enhances stain removal without increasing tooth sensitivity.
Also, baking soda is actually one of the least abrasive options out there – it scores low on the RDA scale, which means it’s much gentler on your teeth than most commercial toothpastes. That’s why it’s perfect for a tooth powder recipe.
Plastic-free baking soda: The Good Fill (the US), The Source Bulk Foods (the UK)
Tip: Use soft-bristled brushes and avoid applying heavy pressure to keep abrasiveness low.
A curious fact: An article in a leading dental journal from 1911 described baking soda as “the ideal tooth powder”, capable of “giving a high polishing to the teeth, without the danger of scratching them.”
Xylitol
Xylitol is a must for cavity prevention. This natural sweetener (often from birch) not only improves the taste, but also fights the bacteria that cause plaque, gum disease, dry mouth, gingival inflammation, and tooth decay. It helps maintain a healthy oral environment and even stimulates saliva production, which supports remineralization.
Essential oils
- Peppermint oil – Soothes toothaches, kills odor-causing bacteria, and adds a fresh flavor.
- Cinnamon oil – Antioxidant, antimicrobial, and known to fight bacteria responsible for cavities.
- Clove oil – Antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory. Effective for gum issues and oral pain.
Allergy warning: Always patch test essential oils before use. If you’re sensitive, you can skip them and add extra xylitol for flavor.
Homemade tooth powder recipe
4 tbsp bentonite clay (53g)
4 tbsp baking soda (57g)
4 teaspoons xylitol (17g)
8-9 drops of peppermint essential oil
3 drops cinnamon essential oil (optional)
Instructions
1. In a clean glass jar, combine the bentonite clay and baking soda using a non-metallic spoon.
2. Add the xylitol and mix thoroughly.
3. Drop in the essential oils, then mix again until well mixed.
4. Seal with a plastic-lined or non-metallic lid."

[Thread] So, I started using #Toothpowder instead of toothpaste a while back. I would love to eventually start making my own. The brand I currently use is Simply Sooney Fluoride Free Remineralizing Toothpaste Powder. It does NOT have fluoride, but that's not an issue for me. It contains birch xylitol, calcium carbonate, betonite clay, magnesium, Himalayan salt and organic peppermint essential oil. I'm posting a few recipes for homemade toothpowder -- some with baking soda, some without.

How To Make Green Tea Mouthwash
Ingredients:
- 1.5 liters of water
- 7 tablespoons of green tea
- A few tablespoons of dried peppermint (optional)
- A strainer
- A 2L glass bottle
- A large bowl
Instructions:
1. Boil the water in a large saucepan.
2. Measure out the tea and place it directly in the water. If you want your mouthwash to have a minty taste, add the peppermint leaves at the same time. For a strong mint flavor, mix equal part tea and mint.
3. Let the mixture steep for one hour.
4. As the tea steeps, wash out your bottle with hot water and vinegar and rinse well.
5. Place the strainer above your bowl and pour the tea through it.
6. Add 1/2 liter of water and pour into your bottle.
7. Store in the refrigerator.
8. To use, measure out an ounce (30 ml) of the mouthwash, swish around for ten minutes and spit it out."

Another recipe involving Matcha tea written by a dentist who states:
"Green tea mouthwash has been proven to:
- Reduce the sulfur compounds that cause bad breath
- Improve inflammation in gingivitis
- Reduce plaque that causes tooth decay and gum disease"
He also suggests that the mixture, "Can be kept in the fridge or stored on the counter for up to 2 weeks. Just make sure to shake it before you use it."

Related study: Therapeutic effects of green tea as an antioxidant on oral health - A review
November 2021
Abstract: "Green tea has protective effects against various diseases such as malignancies, cardiovascular and metabolic disorders. Green tea has been suggested to promote periodontal health by reducing inflammation, preventing the resorption of bones and restricting the growth of certain periodontal-related bacteria. Green tea has antioxidant, carcinogenic, antimicrobial and non-inflammatory properties. This traditional drink is also used to treat systemic chronic diseases, including carcinoma. Recent studies have shown that host immuno-inflammatory reactions, in addition to microbial activity, are more likely to destroy oral tissues. In such cases, green tea is considered to be a natural preventive and curative agent. The potential benefits of green tea and its polyphenols in oral health is capturing the interest of the researchers; hence, this review discusses the therapeutic effects of green tea in the prevention of periodontal and oral diseases."

#PatHarpell is part of #MaineFibershed, and teaches workshops for #DIY #PersonalCareProducts around Maine. I'll keep an eye out for the next one. #Fibershed also sponsors some pretty cool events that I'll be posting about. Wow!
So, I made up a bottle of this stuff and used citrus oils I had on hand (grapefruit, lemon, orange and lime), and added a few drops of glycerine [suggested by the author]. And it works!!! I would experiment to see how many pumps of spray are needed to be effective [at least four], but if you have a bathroom that doesn't have a fan or window, this is the way to go to eliminate bathroom odors at their source without chemicals! The author writes, "Personally, I plan to experiment further by adding vegetable glycerine or Dr. Bronners Castile Soap to see if the water and oils will mix even better — and create an even stronger 'oil barrier' in the toilet bowl than the rubbing alcohol alone does," and I found glycerine does that very effectively!
How to Make #DIY #PooPourri Spray in 2 Minutes (And Why It Works!)
By Lynnette Walczak
PUBLISHED: June 9, 2024
UPDATED: September 11, 2025
"These are the homemade Poo Pourri recipes that I’ve made myself, and like best:
Sandalwood + Lemon + Lavender
Eucalyptus + Peppermint + Lavender
Peppermint + Lemon
Bergamot + Lemongrass + Grapefruit
How To Make Your Own Poo Pourri Recipe
1. Find a clean 2 oz (or 4 oz) spray bottle.
2. Combine 10 (or 20) drops of Essential Oils and 1 (or 2) tablespoons of Rubbing Alcohol in a small spray bottle first. [I add a few drops of glycerin as well, which helps the spray adhere]
3. Shake to mix thoroughly.
4. Next, add water to the spray bottle, enough to almost reach the rim.
5. Shake extremely well — until you’re confident that all of the different liquids are dispersed evenly throughout."
Spray four times into the toilet bowl before you go!

#RockportME - Make Your Own #PersonalCareProducts Workshop
April 1 @ 1:00 PM – 2:30 PM
"Clinical #Herbalist #PatHarpell will lead a workshop at the #RockportPublicLibrary, teaching participants how to create their own personal care products. This free class, on Wednesday, April 1, at 1 p.m., is part of the Library’s 'Let’s Feel Better in 2026' series.
"Harpell emphasizes that personal care products are simple to make and free from the chemicals found in most store-bought products. During the workshop, participants will learn to make an all-natural lotion and facial cleanser using ingredients that are safe enough to consume. Attendees will take home their creations and receive instructions for making #LipBalm, #shampoo, hair rinse, and more.
"Harpell’s interest in skin care products originated from her research as a clinical herbalist. She encountered persistent, chronic conditions that resisted treatment from both modern and alternative medicine. This experience led her to advocate that the ingredients applied to the skin are just as important to consider as those put into the body. Harpell encourages participants to embrace this knowledge and host personal care product-making parties at home.
"The 90-min. program has a limited capacity of 16 participants. Interested individuals can register by calling the Rockport Library at 207-236-3642."

@deepmud So, not only is #BiggsAndFeatherbelle soap excellent quality, they sell their seconds! I love it!!! They have been the closest soap to our own hand-made soap!
1 LB OF SECONDS
"Skip the package waste and show some love for the odd cuts, slivers and edges in a simple paper bag.
Each bag contains a full pound of one soap variety in perfectly usable, slightly imperfect cuts. The recipe is the same, the value is better. Great for everyday use, slicing into smaller pieces, or filling up the soap dish without the fuss."

#HairStraightening Products Containing #Formaldehyde
Updated January 2018
"Formaldehyde in hair straightening products is still a common problem affecting the health of both stylists and their clients. Despite the public attention this issue has gotten, there has been no subsequent regulation of these products in the United States, and numerous potentially harmful products remain on the market here. (In contrast, dozens of brands have been banned in the European Union, Canada and Australia for containing excessive (and illegal) levels of formaldehyde.)
"In response to continued demand, we have updated our list of hair straightening products that contain formaldehyde which we have posted on our website since 2014 (link to information published in 2014).
"While there has been limited testing conducted on these products in recent years, there has been some greater attention on enforcing compliance with safety data sheet laws. In response manufacturers are more frequently admitting both the presence and hazards caused by the formaldehyde contained in their products.
"In the last year, we conducted a survey of hair straightening products, asking manufacturers for their safety data sheets (SDSs). In some cases, the manufacturers would not provide these documents to us, while other others offered them freely on their website or sent us a copy after a simple request. Below is the information we have compiled on products currently available in the U.S. market. NOTE: Products not mentioned on this list should not be assumed to be formaldehyde-free – they are products for which we could not obtain or confirm information about their formaldehyde status."
#Formaldehyde And Formaldehyde-Releasing Preservatives
Formaldehyde and formaldehyde-releasing preservatives (#FRPs) are used in many #PersonalCare products, particularly in #shampoos and liquid #BabySoaps.
"These preservatives release small amounts of formaldehyde over time. Since low levels of formaldehyde can cause health concerns-at levels as low as 250 parts per million and even lower levels in sensitized individuals-the slow release of small amounts of formaldehyde are cause for concern. A 2015 study determined that longer storage time and higher temperature increase the amount of formaldehyde released from FRPs and could ultimately lead to more severe health concerns.
"#Quaternium15 is the most sensitizing of these FRPs and is found in #blush, #mascara, #lotion and #shampoo.
"#DMDMHydantoin is found in lotion, #sunscreen and make-up remover and is one of the least sensitizing of the FRPs.
"#ImidazolidinylUrea, #DiazolidinylUrea, and #polyoxymethylene urea, are found in shampoo, conditioner, blush, #EyeShadow, and lotion and are all known human #allergens. #Imidazolidinyl urea is one of the most common #antimicrobial agents used in personal care products and is often combined with #parabens to provide a broad spectrum preservative system. #Diazolidinyl urea releases the most formaldehyde of any FRP.
"Sodium #hydroxymethylglycinate is found in shampoo, moisturizer, conditioner, and lotion. Animal studies have shown that sodium hydroxymethylglycinate has the potential for sensitization and #dermatitis.
"#Bromopol is found in #Nail Polish, #makeup remover, #moisturizer and #BodyWash. Bromopol is considered safe in concentrations less than 0.1%, but cannot be found in formulations with the FRP amine. Mixing bromopol and amines produce #nitrosamines which have been found to penetrate the skin and cause #cancer.
"#Glyoxal is found in conditioner, lotion, nail polish and nail treatment. CIR Expert Panel has declared that glyoxal is a skin allergen.
Regulations
"Banned from use in #cosmetics and #toiletries in #Japan and #Sweden; in the #EU, restricted in personal care products, and labeling is required in products that do contain these chemicals; concentration restrictions in Canada. The EU allows the use of Quaternium-15 up to 0.2% as a preservative in cosmetic products.
How to Avoid?
Read labels and avoid products containing the following ingredients: Formaldehyde, quaternium-15, dimethyl-dimethyl (DMDM) hydantoin, imidazolidinyl urea, diazolidinyl urea, sodium hydroxymethylglycinate, 2-bromo-2-nitropropane-1,3-diol (bromopol). In addition, choose nail products that are labeled formaldehyde-free or “toxic-trio-free” (formaldehyde, toluene and DBP). Skip hair-smoothing products—especially those sold in salons, as salon-based products are exempt from labeling laws. Don’t use expired cosmetic products or store cosmetic products in the sun because this can cause more formaldehyde to be released."
