The “Dr Bronners Peppermint Liquid Soap” that’s advertised as good for washing body, clothes, hair, shaving and toothpaste actually DOES work as toothpaste!!!
It was late and I had no toothpaste, late night desperation often leads to questionable judgment and decisions but in this case all worked out well!!
At first you get a very slight soapy taste and texture and think “holy god what have I done? I’ve got soap in my mouth!!!” But just then. The peppermint kicks in and the soap essence goes away and it’s all fine (well… If you’re used to the gritty and thick texture of toothpaste, the soapy/foamy texture of this stuff will confuse your brain for the duration of the experience).. The trick is to use a TINY TINY drop otherwise you foam like a rabid dog. Think of the smallest drop you can drib onto the tooth brush, cut it by 2/3s.
Good on the Dr Bronner people for making a compact, high quality, cost-effective product. I don’t know the how’s or why’s of the product, but have to give them their due for making such an awesomely daft product with so many uses in this day where we’re indoctrinated to believe we need specialized products for each task (to which Dr Bronners proudly and without boastfulness proclaims “NO!”).
