Kaolin i expect is same as bentonite sticks to teeth? Unless you have found a miracle formula. With regards to getting more than you expect in return in South Africa…hmmm i doubt it.

calcium carbonate is sold as chalk - if you can find food grade chalk, that’s your best bet

also, diatomaceous earth tends to be very abrasive, personally I’d be very wary about using it in a toothpaste

Thanks Bill
“2um” or whatever you call it the right particle size for abrasiveness?
I have contacted about 20 + chemical companies, chemists etc. Not sold in less than 25kg’s which seriously sucks. 
There are many toothpaste formulas out there most contain calcium carbonate, some do not.

Our oceans are dying, sea water is too acidic.

We know that everything we use in our homes and factories go down the drain, and guess where that ends up?

I believe that the oceans give us life. We need nature, nature does not need us

“SLS is not expected to bioaccumulate or persist in the environment, which is a good thing, but it is known to be toxic to aquatic organisms as noted in the International Chemical Safety Card (ICSC) Database. So, considering it’s getting rinsed down our drains from several personal care and cleaning products we use every day all over the world, this is something to consider.”

Can not use DM if my toothpaste is that acidic… :* Possibly try to find a better quality…

• Is it possible to whiten/ lighten DM “naturally”?
• Does ph change when mixing a powder with water?
• Is there a website which can help me find a product to up the ph?
• Shea butter/ butyrospermum parkii in toothpaste, what would this be for? I wonder.

I have a last option which is even more “herbal / natural”. I have so many ingredients by now ha ha

Thank you  <3

Now that I think about it. I wonder if 4 is a normal ph for DM. Is it not supposed to be neutral to alkaline?…

Aaagh thank you for your reply.   

On the topic regarding Diatomaceous earth. The colour is a medium poo-colour >.< Is there such a thing as white DM? (Mine is food grade). My product is also now a PH of around 4…depending on what I can find to “double” the ph I might have to look into using Zeolite. 

Not sure what the ph is of Zeolite…?
