Recipe for a raspberry-flavored solid toothpaste for children

The basic ingredients

  • 250 g calcium carbonate
  • 50 g sci surfactant
  • 250 g stearic acid
  • 250 ml vegetable glycerin
  • 10 ml organic coconut vegetable oil
  • 2 ml natural cosmetic fragrance with raspberry
  • 2 g sweet potato plant pigment

Basic utensils

  • a mini whip
  • a precision balance 0.01g/2 ml measuring scoop
  • set of 5 measuring spoons
  • a 10 ml graduated pipette
  • a silicone mold for the shape of your toothpaste

Let's get our hands dirty! Put on gloves, an apron, and clean your work surface thoroughly.

Heat your calcium carbonate with the stearic acid, the sci surfactant, and the vegetable glycerin in a bain-marie. The stearic acid should have completely dissolved.

In a small bowl, mix the coconut vegetable oil with the sweet potato coloring. You can preheat the coconut oil slightly beforehand to help the coloring blend in more easily.

Mix your pink coconut oil with your liquid in a bain-marie. Smooth out the texture of your concoction before pouring it into your mold.

Place the mold in the freezer for half an hour before removing from the mold. Allow the product to air dry for 2 days before using.

And there you have it! The whole family is ready for a zero-waste, natural life!
