Green activist Claire Sancelot tries to stay away from packaging, whether it’s a body product or a household cleanser. She also makes personal care products such as toothpaste, the way she likes it, which is flavoured with peppermint.

The toothpaste takes only five minutes to make. However, it is liquid at room temperature but it can be kept in a jar in the fridge so that it stays like a paste.
