I really need to be in bed. So sleepy but so much information.
Thank you. My wife and I have been buying non fluoride tablets for awhile now but I figured there had to be an easy way to make our own.
Glad I was able to help!
gracias ! lo probaré me pareces fantásticas esas pastillas 😊
This is way to cool!
Hi! If I use SCI instead would I use the same amount? It comes in a powder, not liquid. Thanks!
What are your thoughts on Hydroxyapatite? My husband has been using it but I have not made the transition yet.
If I were to do a "MIY" project, would "Calcium Hydroxyapatite" be ok to replace it?
Thanks for all your videos. I have been a fan for a very long time. I'm so happy to see your face and voice in the videos.
I have Calcium Citrate powder at home. Can I use it instead of Calcium Carbonate powder?
Hello im working on a similar project and i would like your help
Hello, we need help for our business project. We tried your recipe, and in the dryinh process it's just sticking out of the mold, do you think what other ingredients to make it a solid tablet? Or should the water not be included in the ingredients?
Hi ,been watching ur videos and am a student wanting to develop a mouth herbal spray using mint ,but I really need help if it’s ok with you ,plz I need ur guidance .thank u
Thank You for this video it was great. Where do you buy the Sodium Cocoyl Glutamate?
I live in Spain and buy online locally. I've bought it from cremas-caseras.es and other places have also had it here. You'd have to do a local search of cosmetics supply companies that may have it. SCI is another option if you can't find it. I tried it myself after someone else asked about it. (I've also seen it listed in toothpaste ingredients before.)
hi, if i wanted to use fluoride, how much would i need to add or which ingredient would i need to swap out ? also these essential oils, are they the same ones we use for diffusers? thanks!
If you are using a quality essential oil made by distillation or cold pressing (NOT a fragrance oi), yes, you can use the same ones that you use in a diffuser. (Some diffusers are sold with fragrance oils or oils labeled as EO's that aren't true essential oils!)
As for the fluoride- I don't know. My family has avoided fluoride for the last 20 years and haven't had a cavity since. (Ours were all from when we still used it.)
What source of fluoride are you using? You'd have to check the dosage instructions of whatever you bought and add it as specified. I'm not sure what form they would sell fluoride- you'd have to play with the recipe and adjust, as needed, depending on the format sold.
Hii, can i substitute sodium cocoyl glutamate by Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate (SCI) or SODIUM COCO-SULFATE (SCS)? And what do you think about add a preservative like sodium benzoate?
They should both be fine. I'd personally choose SCI over SCS. It's often used in toothpaste too, actually, and I tried it and has a mild flavor so it works well. 🤣🤣
I don't think it needs the sodium benzoate. Sodium benzoate on its own isn't really a full spectrum preservative anyway. I'd have to re-research it to know at what pH it works and what microbes it does protect against, but my guess is that it wouldn't provide much benefit at this pH anyway. (I could be wrong here- that's a guess- so don't quote me on that. 🤣🤣🤣)
@@Thethingswellmake Thaank you, SCI is more easier to find here in Brazil, i will try to make some tests 😄😄
Hi! First I want to Thank you for making this video. Secondly can you use coconut oil instead of the glycerin. I like to incorporate oil pulling while brushing my teeth.
If you use oil, the tablets won't dry and get hard. You could make a toothpaste with the oil instead of the glycerin, though.
Does the sodium cocoyl glutamate need to be food grade?
All the ones I see are for bath products nothing about toothpaste.
Can I use the powder version?
No. They probably would never label them food grade because you aren't meant to ingest it. (In this case, you should spit it out.) I've only used surfactants I've seen used in commercial toothpastes, though, and it should be cosmetic grade.
This is used in a very small amount. Any remaining surfactant in your mouth is negligible.
Yes, you can use either liquid or powdered versions. The powder will be more concentrated, so you won't need to add much. Adjust your water accordingly to get the desired texture.
Thanks so much!
where did you purchase your pink silicone mold. Thank you. Great video!
I bought in from Amazon here in Spain. They have similar molds at their .com.
Here's an example: amzn.to/3VObKaR
You can also check for silicone ice chip molds online!

Can we replace the water with coconut oil? Will it still dry out?
With oil, it would turn into a paste. I highly doubt it would dry.
@@Thethingswellmake thank you for getting back to me! I made a few attempts yesterday and yes the coconut oil never turned solid. I used SCI and water and it turned out perfect! Thank you!

Mine never dried and it's been more than 36 hours. 😩
Did you add oil or glycerin to it? (They would keep them from drying.)
You want to use only water for this recipe so that it properly dries. (You can add a few drops of essential oil for flavor, but don't want much.)
Where did you find the sodium cocoyl glutamate?
Sorry- missed this. I live in Spain, so I probably have different sources than you. I got the liquid version from a place online cremas-caseras.es. The solid version was for sale at another online local shop.
@@Thethingswellmake thank you. You live in Spain…how nice. I looked into surfactants and found that SCI could be used. It was easy for me to get, so I bought that.
@@27kjh Yes, it's also used in toothpastes and I also tried it and it's mild in flavor too- so also good here!
