The difference up to 100 gr is calcium carbonate in the recipe? If I add up the grams given, I don't reach 100! Thanks! Can tenside SCI also be used in toothpaste for foaming?

I have been using this recipe for several months. I am happy with it. I tried at first to make the recipe without the essential element of lime, but it was noticeably lacking in the composition. All the ingredients are indispensable.

Hello! Glycerin and propolis extract can be added, in which case no preservative is needed. Aloe vera gel is sensitive to microbial growth, and without testing we cannot recommend its inclusion in such a formula.

Hello! Without coconut tenside the tooth powder won't lather and will be harder to clean off the sink and toothbrush.

Hello! The two powders have different properties, but you can practically make the substitution. Possibly prepare a smaller test amount first.

Hello. Thanks for the recipes, wonderful ingredients and giveaways! To this recipe, I would like the addition of 3 grams of propolis powder, with the corresponding subtraction of siwak powder. What is your opinion? Thanks!
