Loving how you are so honest with transitioning to zero waste, your videos have inspired me to begin to go zero waste, and you make feel less bad about sometimes having things that are not Zero waste. Love from Australia..
this is an awesome idea! i am by no means an expert, but i would recommend making this fresh each time i use it, instead of making it in bulk and storing it in the cabinet or fridge. it only takes half a day for a tap-water-based, homemade product to become populated with pathogens...! finally, i love essential oils! they are so powerful!! which is why you should remember to RINSE YOUR MOUTH AND SPIT THIS OUT after you use it, like normal mouthwash! essential oils, even FDA-approved "GRAS" oils like mint and melaluca/TT, are not safe for everyday consumption
We've been loving this recipe! I want to switch up the flavoring each time I make it. SO far I've tried peppermint and spearmint. Which essential oil would you use?
Ohhhh... I’m SOO going to try this out!!! I love using my essential oils!!! They’re amazing!!! & I have tons of glass bottles! Every time I go thrifting, the first place I head to is the glass bottles! Awesome video!!!
I know tea tree is great. Im afraid to have it in the house though because its very toxic to cats. Im afraid that I will use it for something and forget and accidently get some on them. :(
As I think I commented before, I've been using an oil based mouthwash and oil pulling. I was thinking I might use an old kombucha bottle to start storing it in because the dark glass is similar to the dark glass bottles that essential oils come in to protect them from light damage. Is that a sound idea?
I only had tee tree n lemon , added a little sea salt n 1/2 teasp. Honey was too salty lol so added more water n must say refreshing I did have other ingredients. Thanks
Do you think that maybe a food extract like a peppermint extract from the spice aisle would be a good sub for edible essential oils? Or would that have some adverse effects on the quality?
Looks amazing, would love to try this! Can I use normal tap water(I don't have any way or purifying/filtering it)? Can I use peppermint extract instead of essential oils(are essential oils safe to use?)
Definitely going to try this! doTerra is really expensive! I would definitely buy it to use in mouthwash tho. What brand do you use in your diffuser? I want oils that won't lose their smell/affects before it's time to refill the tank. Any suggestions?
I thought I'd try one of those (because that's what most usually are) but then I thought of cinnamon (like the big red gum) and might try that if it even exists. I didn't know that there were different grades of oil and have to look for the right kind (I think I used the wrong kind in a diy deodorant recipe and caused myself irritation)..
you are a really fun girl to watch and your name is beautiful and I am enjoying this video and I love these kind of videos because there fun to watch and I like to see a makeup tutorial or a get ready with me and a giveaway and you are beautiful and I can't wait to see more videos like this keep up the wonderful work on your videos
Just made this. It's actually not very good sorry Shelbi. I find it just like soda water. Doesnt freshen your mouth at all and I actually used more peppermint accidentally. Very bland. Gutted because i hate buying plastic. Have any of you had the same experience?. Glad it works for you and Madison tho..
No ma'am. I think I'll leave that to the experts haha but I have been trying some more sustainable options. I'll let ya'll know soon if I find a good one (:
Shelbizleee I Actually Asked To Share Mine. Same Way You Create The Mouthwash. Use coconut oil to replace the water. Of course measurement are differ. .
I have a mouthwash recipie put tooth paste into a water bottle ot something u can shake in pour in water and then close the container or water bottle then shake for a while till foamy done easy mouthwash and u can use kid tooth paste or any I don't why but I love kid toothpaste but sadly I can't use anymore cause I old now and it not strong enough now the reason they have sizes for toothpaste are because so u can have the right amount of strongness example:3-5not strong adult one strong Plz like this took me a very long time to write
Although this would probably make your mouth feel fresh and maybe kill some germs, I think the alcohol and fluoride in store bought mouth wash are the more important ingredients for tooth health and preventing cavities. It's important to note that this cutesy DIY recipe is inferior in that regard, and it's probably better to consult your dentist before making the switch.
Well it's good that your dentist is aware and ok with this option for you, I just think it's important to note that not everyone's dentist/teeth would agree. For example, some people with deeper molar grooves need extra fluoride in mouthwash to prevent cavities. And in since only~75% of the U.S. has access to fluoridated water, people who aren't keeping up with their dental health or following a dentist's instructions might damage their mouth in switching from store bought mouthwash to this DIY version.
Jesus loves you, he died on the cross for you so you may have eternal life God bless you Now, brothers and sisters, I want to remind you of the gospel I preached to you, which you received and on which you have taken your stand. 2 By this gospel you are saved, if you hold firmly to the word I preached to you. Otherwise, you have believed in vain. 3 For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance[a]: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, 4 that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures, Only Christ saves Not works, Faith..
Man, this is a video about mouth wash, you're on the internet with people from around the world with various cultures and religions.. dafaq you're on about here?
Add 10 drops of grapefruit seed extract also known as GSD to make it antibacterial and not be growing molds.
Also Use distilled water .
You could totally use an old glass maple syrup container :)
Toni Alvarez what a cool idea!! 😍
I have an empty one that I didn't know what I was gonna use it for, but I'm totally going to use it for this!
@@LifewithLowe im gonna use my left over Mason Jar :) i guess it doenst matter as long as it gets the job done:)
That is what I was going to say!

+Rachel Riley happy to hear Rachel ❤️😊 everyone has to start somewhere
I just love how you are doing a good thing for the environment while saving money at the same time keep up the good work❤️
Just made mine! :) I used an old maple Syrup glass jar! :)
Is it comparable to Listerine?
This would be awesome with an orange flavored essential oil 🍊

Clara Rose Lane how much baking soda/ water would you suggest for someone who wants to make a daily mouthwash?
We've been loving this recipe! I want to switch up the flavoring each time I make it. SO far I've tried peppermint and spearmint. Which essential oil would you use?
I'm going to try this with wintergreen. That's my favorite and thank you for this recipe, looks so easy
Shelbizleee I'd try somting citrus!
Shelbizleee cinnamon
lemon and orange would be good. Lemon and maybe peppermint? Idk why that sounds good to me.
Shelbizleee can you please do a video on eco-friendly gift ideas?
I've made it several times, love it!
Ohhhh... I’m SOO going to try this out!!! I love using my essential oils!!! They’re amazing!!! & I have tons of glass bottles! Every time I go thrifting, the first place I head to is the glass bottles! Awesome video!!!
I’ve been waiting to run out of mouthwash to try this recipe c: thank you!
Thanks so much for this recipe! This is my second time making it and I love it.
Awesome! I've been looking for new ways to use my essential oils! I also love DoTerra!
This is awesome!
Also, I'm loving your new filming background :)
I know tea tree is great. Im afraid to have it in the house though because its very toxic to cats. Im afraid that I will use it for something and forget and accidently get some on them. :(
joy marcy I have to be very careful with it too bc I have a hedgehog. I didn't know about cats tho. Thanks for the info!
Thanks for this! I'm tired of buying mouthwash. I'd rather make my own so i'll never run out.
Definitely going to try this out! Thank you shelbi.
You can use a peppermint oil for baking
How do you store yours? Do you keep it in the fridge or leave it out? :)

That is a great idea!
What kind of lashes do you have on..they are beautiful! Thank you for sharing the recipe
I only had tee tree n lemon , added a little sea salt n 1/2 teasp. Honey was too salty lol so added more water n must say refreshing I did have other ingredients. Thanks
and why would you put honey, a sugar , in mouthwash? that's how bacteria thrives in the mouth, you new age nut case
Can you please do a video on eco- friendly gift ideas?
do you need to use the essential oil’s?
Do you think that maybe a food extract like a peppermint extract from the spice aisle would be a good sub for edible essential oils? Or would that have some adverse effects on the quality?
I'm deffenitly going to be trying this!!!
Got a new subscriber
I love this channel ❤️
shelbi u have to do more videos like this please please please. love u ❤️❤️
Not much different from the peppermint + tea tree oil mouthwash I already use! Guess I could just make it myself and reuse the bottle :o
Looks amazing, would love to try this! Can I use normal tap water(I don't have any way or purifying/filtering it)? Can I use peppermint extract instead of essential oils(are essential oils safe to use?)
Technically yes, but you can just buy a bottle of spring water.
I would definitely use extract instead, essential oils are NOT safe to consume and are very poorly regulated.
check out a thing called leaf republic they are making biodegradable leaf plates
You look gorgeous :3 thanks for the recipe :)
I thought essential oils needed a carrier oil for safe dilution?
Definitely going to try this! doTerra is really expensive! I would definitely buy it to use in mouthwash tho. What brand do you use in your diffuser? I want oils that won't lose their smell/affects before it's time to refill the tank. Any suggestions?
Shelbi, how you deal with kicken waste without plastic bag??? Help
You could store plastic bags in PET bottles, heavily compacted and use them as a bricks.
I hope this help you.
Btw, excuse my bad english.
I thought I'd try one of those (because that's what most usually are) but then I thought of cinnamon (like the big red gum) and might try that if it even exists. I didn't know that there were different grades of oil and have to look for the right kind (I think I used the wrong kind in a diy deodorant recipe and caused myself irritation)..
is it okay if I dont use essential oil ?
Hi, how long is it good for?
you are a really fun girl to watch and your name is beautiful and I am enjoying this video and I love these kind of videos because there fun to watch and I like to see a makeup tutorial or a get ready with me and a giveaway and you are beautiful and I can't wait to see more videos like this keep up the wonderful work on your videos
How does this compare to sole mouthwash? I.e. salt water. Do they both kill bacteria, is one better than another?
Great video.
Totally random, but you sound perfectly like meg from family guy
Where did you find those beautiful measuring spoons?
Pro tip: the essential oil from Aldi is super cheap €1,99 I think and its safe to use in a mouthwash ;)
Just made this. It's actually not very good sorry Shelbi. I find it just like soda water. Doesnt freshen your mouth at all and I actually used more peppermint accidentally. Very bland. Gutted because i hate buying plastic. Have any of you had the same experience?. Glad it works for you and Madison tho..
Wondering if i can do this without essential oils
Can I use any essential oil? I have 100% Peppermint oil
Put essential oil in your mounthwash could be very dangerous.
You do know you don't actually need mouthwash most dentists will tell you it's a total scam
Just Honey you can use mouth wash to clean things like retainer or tooth brush head 2-3 times a week just to keep a nice scent
Do you have to use essential oils
Do you also make your on toothpaste ?!
No ma'am. I think I'll leave that to the experts haha but I have been trying some more sustainable options. I'll let ya'll know soon if I find a good one (:
Shelbizleee I Actually Asked To Share Mine.
Same Way You Create The Mouthwash. Use coconut oil to replace the water. Of course measurement are differ. .
Okey dokey wokey

No

+yourchildhoodneighbor I didn't do it bc it's "cutesy." My dentist knows, and there is fluoride in the water ✌🏽️

I sure would like to see some citations that do show a difference between those who use fluoride and those who don't.
