Plastic and artificial sweeteners are the primary ingredients used in store-bought gums. The mysterious "gum base" ingredient you see on the back of every pack of gum is often a mix of synthetic plastics, rubbers, softeners, emulsifiers, and flavor modifiers. These ingredients cost just tiny fractions of a penny. In fact, the most expensive piece of store-bought gum is often the packaging. These gums serve no real purpose and offer no benefit to our mouths or the planet.
Our chewing gum is made of natural ingredients like chicle, mastic, and spruce saps. These natural saps can only be harvested at specific times throughout the year. Only a small amount of these potent saps are taken to prevent damage to the tree. However, nurturing these trees is a year-round effort that requires immense manual labor. High-quality ingredients and the labor associated with obtaining them add to the final cost of the gum.
While big gum brands have the luxury of fully automated processing, our production process requires a large human component. Much of our production must be done by hand and relies on the experience of farmers, foragers, and crew dedicated to making the best gum in the world.
Each one of our ingredients serves a purpose and was selected for its beneficial properties.
You will not find any filler ingredients used simply because they are cheap to source. We only use real ingredients.
Our gum is made with the very best natural ingredients for people who value alternatives to the disturbing amount of artificial products in our lives.
