Wait... What's Gum Made Of?

It's one of those everyday products most of us have probably never thought much about.

Many conventional chewing gums simply list “gum base” among their ingredients. That base can contain synthetic polymers and other substances that give gum its familiar stretchy, chewy texture.

Simply decided to take a different route.

Their gum is made with chicle, a natural latex harvested from trees in Central America that has a long history of use as a chewing gum base.

It gives Simply Gum its distinctive chew without relying on a conventional synthetic gum base.

What Is Chicle?

Chicle is a natural tree sap traditionally harvested from the sapodilla tree.

Simply sustainably sources its chicle from Central America and combines it with candelilla wax and citric acid to create the natural base for its chewing gum.

It's a wonderfully old-school answer to a surprisingly modern question:

What exactly are we chewing?

Real Peppermint, Subtle Sweetness

Simply keeps the flavor just as straightforward.

Natural peppermint oil gives the gum its fresh mint flavor, while organic raw cane sugar provides a touch of sweetness without artificial sweeteners.

The result is refreshing rather than overwhelmingly sweet—perfect for popping a piece after coffee or lunch or before heading into a meeting.

Meet Simply

Simply began in 2014, when founder Caron discovered that conventional chewing gum could contain far more artificial ingredients than she expected.

She began experimenting with making gum in her New York City apartment, eventually selling the first Simply Gum products in stores throughout Manhattan.

That apartment project grew into a female-founded company with a simple philosophy: make familiar everyday treats using ingredients people can actually recognize.

Ingredients

Simply recently added tapioca starch to the formula to improve the manufacturing process and provide a cleaner taste; the rest of the formula remains unchanged.
