Silica gel can be made by reacting an acid with sodium silicate, which is sold in drug stores as water glass or egg keep, and is used to paint eggs to seal them from air and prevent spoilage. Drying the resulting gel will get the desiccant, or it can be used wet in toothpastes. 

Glycerol is used for drugs, personal care (including toothpaste), skin, and hair care products (42%), food and beverages (18%), tobacco (13%), polyether polyols for urethanes (11%), and alkyd resins (6%). 

Glycerol is used in nearly every industry. The largest single use is in drugs and oral care products including toothpaste, mouthwash, and oral rinses (Table 3). Its use in tobacco processing and urethane foams remains at a faidy even consumption level. Use in foods and cosmetics is growing. 

The main component (80-90%) is (f )-anethole. Star anise oil and (F)-anelhole isolated from it are used in anise liqueur (Anisette, Sambuca) and anise brandy (Pernod, Ouzo, Raki, Arak), liquorice sweets, toothpaste, etc. It has almost completely replaced the original anise seed oil, obtained from the umbellifer P. anisum.

Make a thick solution with it, not a paste—and brush with that. If you insist upon brushing your teeth with store-bought toothpaste, don t use any that has fluoride in it. All natural toothpaste can be purchased at most health food stores. 

Salicylic acid is a precursor to aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid), a widely used nonprescription drug for pain and fever relief. Salicylic acid is also a key component of a wide range of cosmetic (mostly skin care) products in addition, it is also used as food preservative and antiseptic (e.g., in toothpaste).
