I was having trouble finding toothpaste that wasn't made by a company that tests on animals. My mom suggested making my own toothpaste so I did! I used 3 parts baking soda (the cleanser and sweetener) with one part salt (the abrasive). I then added a touch of vegetable based glycerin (3 tsp for every one cup of powder) and a little water and vuala, toothpaste. I didn't have anything in my house to flavour it (peppermint, etc) except coconut extract so I used that. I smells soooo yummy but tastes terrible. I've never put something so salty in my mouth before. My mom keeps telling me you get used to the flavour but so far I don't believe her (sorry Mom). But its either have a salty flavoured mouth that smells like coconuts, or have fuzzy teeth and gross morning breath for the rest of my life. I think I'll go with the salty coconut.

Hi, I know how hard it is to find vegan toothpaste, but arm and hammer toothpaste are vegan.
Where i live, i could NEVERR find, so whenever i travel to NY i pick up like 3 tubes and bring back home with me.
if you can't find arm and hammer by you, try ordering it online or something? :)
As Arm & Hammer may be vegan in it's ingredients, it is not cruelty free. Arm & Hammer test on animals. There are companies out there that are animal friendly, unfortunatly they are quite expensive which is why I prefer to make my own.
