Sure, you might say: But why would I make toothpaste when I can buy it at the store?

The answer: because The Descendants star/SIY forest nymph Shailene Woodley does it, and she was kind enough to share her recipe, which is based on one she found on the hippy-dippy site ThreeLilyFarm.com. Also note: The 22-year-old mixes up her own batches of paste (and deodorant and face masks) on top of her day job, which this year includes starring in the movie versions of two YA best-sellers, Divergent and The Fault in Our Stars. And what did you accomplish today?

Directions
Mix everything together in a wide-mouth jar. Note: Do not expect this toothpaste to leave your mouth feeling like you just gargled Listerine or brushed with Crest. IT WON'T.

*The measurement depends on what consistency I want! Sometimes I like it thick and other times thin! So experiment!
