Room temp coconut oil if you live in Florida! Otherwise, warm it slightly before mixing. Other oils can work if peppermint is strong for you (wintergreen is nice). Also add a little sea salt to help fight bacteria. And use a pea size amount. Has worked well for years for me.
I like to learn to make homemade deodorant anti perspirant.
Can this be used for dogs? I would think so.
I would not use this for your dog…they may have an aversion to the peppermint oil. I would look up a dog specific toothpaste…I’ll try to find one and see if I can help!
