  • Will this toothpaste become disgusting with use?

    Posted by Margaret on October 29, 2023 at 9:43 pm

    I am NOT able to copy & paste the formula, nor does a screen shot work so….

    There’s a formula on the website of the OMYA company which looks interesting BUT I wonder if using it would end up turning it into a gross mess?

    Here’s the LOI (SIMPLIFIED, without the procedure, to save my hands):

    calcium carbonate 45%

    liquid surfactant 3%

    COCONUT OIL!! 20%

    Xylitol 27.2%

    Stevia 0.1%

    Xanthan Gum 1%

    Mint oil 1%

    Green Tea Extract 2%

    HOW TO USE:

    Wet your toothbrush & rub it against the toothpaste to form a lather. Then, collect the foam created on the toothbrush & brush teeth.

    MY QUESTION:

    Would using this stuff as suggested above, make it become disgusting as you transfer your saliva to it with your toothbrush?

    Would storing the toothbrush in vodka (or any 40% ethanol solution) keep the toothpaste free of microbial grossness?
