Detoxifying Activated Charcoal Toothpaste- A Natural Solution

DIY Detox Toothpaste with Activated Charcoal

What is activated charcoal and why would you put it in toothpaste? It is an absorptive agent that actually binds to toxins, chemicals and poisons, and helps pull them out of your body. Bentonite Clay also helps the body do this and they are both in these easy DIY Detox Toothpaste Recipe! All of the ingredients in this recipe are supportive. Take a deeper look into WHY! It’s amazing- they are not chemicals- YEAH! It may look like Poop– but I am excited to share this with you because it is effective.
