Step 1. Put the 1 tablespoon of coconut oil in a small mixing bowl.  I left mine in solid form and did not melt it as you want to form a paste. However,  you can soften the oil if you find that the ingredients are difficult to combine.

Step 2. Add the 1 tablespoon of baking soda and 1/2 teaspoon of the activated charcoal powder to the bowl.  Be careful with the activated charcoal powder as it's a fine black powder. It can cause a mess if you are not careful with it.

Step 3. Mix the ingredients thoroughly until a paste is formed. Add a few drops of the essential oil of your choice.  I would use a peppermint essential oil as it would have a mint flavor similar to toothpaste.

Step 4. Store in the small storage container.
