You could try doing a thinner recipe??<br /><br />Anonymous- You can try stevia. The reason we use Xylitol here is due to its cavity and bacteria fighting properties.valley view farmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05156554441530464240noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8316212742488434385.post-19669639215405688572010-03-18T09:49:53.789-07:002010-03-18T09:49:53.789-07:00Hi there,

Do you suppose I could find xylitol and glycerin at my local health food store? Also, I read somewhere that someone was using an old hand soap pump as a toothpaste dispenser, and I thought that sounded like a great idea (and much more sanitary). Do you think your toothpaste is of a consistency that that might work? It looks like it might.<br />Thanks!!!<br />AlissaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8316212742488434385.post-83895765867729673122010-03-02T10:23:24.924-08:002010-03-02T10:23:24.924-08:00Curious: I wonder if there is a way to use Stevia...Curious: I wonder if there is a way to use Stevia Leaf in place of the Xylitol?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8316212742488434385.post-55842667540805370292009-07-17T13:46:23.368-07:002009-07-17T13:46:23.368-07:00Awesome recipe!

Although the baking soda taste is a little strong for them, they can handle it because of the sweet taste of glycerine and xylitol. I flavored mine with orange oil. Just an idea for you or others that may be interested - I put my mix in a pastry bag and piped it into a "lotion" squeeze bottle. (An inexpensive storebought, never used, empty lotion bottle found in cosmetic section)labeled it, and made it look "fun" for the kids. I'm a big fan of homemade and glad the toothpaste is so easy to make!HillsofAcademehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07323846451052041742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8316212742488434385.post-43003095716449085322009-03-28T07:05:00.000-07:002009-03-28T07:05:00.000-07:00Thanks honey, I used it last night.
