Notes
When using bentonite clay, you want to avoid contact with metal bowl and spoons. This specific type of clay has the ability to bind to heavy metals and draw them out of our bodies. If it interacts with a metal bowl or something similar before, the effectiveness may decrease.
If kept air-tight, the toothpaste will last for a while, but not forever. Always use your best judgement.
