About us
SIMPLY makes sweet treats you can feel good about. When you pick up a SIMPLY product, you know that it’s made with only the good stuff and only what’s needed. Because real ingredients taste better.
We started as a gum company in 2014 when our founder Caron discovered that most chewing gum is made of a synthetic plastic base. She started making batches of natural gum in her apartment using a tree sap (chicle) base & the rest is history!

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the ingredient list actually live up to a minimalist, clean-label standard?
Yes. SIMPLY Gum is intentionally short on ingredients and free of aspartame, artificial flavors, artificial colors, and preservatives. The base is natural chicle tree sap, and the sweetness comes from xylitol, which keeps the panel uncluttered and readable at a glance.
Will the packaging look out of place in a neutral, design-forward home or office?
The packaging uses clean typography and a restrained color palette that fits a minimalist aesthetic. It looks at home on a curated desk, in a neutral bathroom drawer, or inside a canvas tote.
Is this gum a true plastic-free alternative to the mainstream brands I currently buy?
Yes. The chewable base is natural chicle tree sap, not polyvinyl acetate or any other synthetic polymer. That means no plastic in your mouth and no microplastic residue, which is the core minimalist upgrade over conventional gum.
How does the three-pack format support a less-is-more daily carry?
You get three slim 15-piece pouches that are easy to stage throughout your life: one in your work bag, one in your gym bag, and one on your desk. That eliminates the need for bulky packaging while keeping gum within reach in every clean, intentional spot.
Can I recycle or compost any part of the packaging?
The outer carton is widely recyclable, and the inner pouches are designed to be minimal. The gum itself is naturally biodegradable because it is made from tree sap, so it dissolves more cleanly than plastic-based gum if accidentally littered.
I prefer to own fewer, better things. Is this a justified purchase for a minimalist?
If you chew gum regularly, replacing a plastic-based brand with a natural chicle, xylitol-sweetened version is exactly the kind of one-for-one upgrade minimalists value. One well-chosen three-pack replaces the clutter of multiple half-used gum bottles.
How does this compare to chewing a piece of raw chicle or another plastic-free brand like Chicza?
SIMPLY Gum balances authenticity with everyday usability: it uses real chicle and natural flavor, but it is more accessible, better priced per piece, and more widely available than artisanal chicle brands. It also includes xylitol for a tangible dental benefit most raw chicle lacks.
Is this gum better than a high-end natural gum like Glee or Peppersmith for clean-label shoppers?
SIMPLY Gum, Glee, and Peppersmith all avoid aspartame and artificial ingredients, but SIMPLY Gum uses a true natural chicle base and essential-oil peppermint flavor. For shoppers who prioritize a non-synthetic chew base, it is a stronger fit.
Does the gum leave less visual and environmental mess than mainstream brands?
Because the base is natural chicle, leftover gum breaks down more readily and is less likely to leave sticky residue on sidewalks, shoes, or upholstery. The pouches are also designed to be resealable, so there is less loose-wrapper clutter in your bag.
Is the flavor profile subtle enough for someone who dislikes aggressive, sweet gum?
Yes. The peppermint is naturally derived and balanced rather than candied or syrupy, which appeals to people who find most gums overpowering. The flavor also evolves as you chew, starting bright and softening into a clean finish.
I am wary of greenwashing. What is the company's actual sustainability story?
SIMPLY Gum is built around natural chicle harvested from sapodilla trees, supports tree-based small business supply chains, and avoids synthetic plastic bases entirely. The brand is also a transparent female-founded U.S. small business, which aligns with a buy-better-buy-less philosophy.
Will this product look intentional in a curated pantry or wellness shelfie?
Yes. The simple branding and neutral packaging photograph well in a styled kitchen or wellness shelf. Many customers intentionally leave a pouch on display because the design is clean and modern.
I only want to own one gum product. Is this a sensible single-choice upgrade?
For a minimalist who wants one go-to gum, SIMPLY Gum is a strong single pick. It is allergen-free, vegan, kosher, non-GMO, plastic-free, and dentist-friendly thanks to xylitol, so it covers most lifestyle preferences in one product.
How should I chew SIMPLY Gum to get the best texture and flavor?
Start with one piece and chew slowly for about five minutes to allow the natural chicle base to break in. Once it softens, you can add a second piece if you prefer a fuller chew, which is the package's recommended two-piece serving. Avoid biting down hard early on, since natural chicle is firmer than plastic-based gum at first.
How long does the flavor and chew typically last?
Most chewers report a strong peppermint flavor for roughly 20 to 30 minutes and a satisfying chew texture for 30 minutes or longer, depending on how vigorously you chew. The natural chicle base holds up well compared to most plastic-based gums.
Is SIMPLY Gum safe to swallow if a piece goes down by accident?
Like any gum, SIMPLY Gum is not designed to be swallowed and will pass through your digestive system intact. Because it is made from natural chicle rather than synthetic plastic polymers, it is not a microplastic risk if accidentally swallowed, though we still recommend spitting it out like any other gum.
Does this gum fit within TSA, airline, and cruise liquid restrictions?
Yes. Chewing gum is classified as a solid, so it is not subject to the TSA 3-1-1 liquid rule, and it is allowed in carry-on bags, personal items, and checked luggage. It also fits comfortably in cruise ship carry-ons and is a great liquids-free travel breath freshener.
Is SIMPLY Gum compatible with keto, low-carb, or diabetic-friendly diets?
SIMPLY Gum is sugar-free and sweetened with xylitol, a plant-based sugar alcohol that has a low glycemic impact. It fits most keto and low-carb lifestyles when consumed in moderation, and many people with diabetes use xylitol-sweetened gum as a sugar-free alternative. As always, check with your healthcare provider for personal dietary guidance.
What exactly comes in the box, and do I need to buy anything else to use it?
Inside the box you will find three individually sealed pouches, each containing 15 pieces of SIMPLY Gum Peppermint, for 45 pieces total. Nothing else is required to use the product; simply tear open a pouch and start chewing. Any storage pouch or travel tin is optional and sold separately.
Is xylitol safe for kids, pets, or people with specific medical conditions?
Xylitol is widely regarded as safe for adults and children in normal gum-chewing amounts, and it is recommended by many dentists. However, xylitol is highly toxic to dogs, so always store the pouches out of reach of pets. People with rare conditions like SIBO or extreme sugar-alcohol sensitivity should consult a physician before regular use.
Does the gum have a strong smell or scent when the package is sealed?
The peppermint essential oil gives the pouches a mild, pleasant mint aroma when opened, but the sealed outer packaging is low-odor. You can safely store the box in a desk drawer, purse, or carry-on without it overpowering nearby items.
What is the difference between natural chewing gum and conventional plastic-based gum?
Conventional gums are built on synthetic bases like polyvinyl acetate, which is essentially the same family of polymers used in adhesives and plastics. Natural chewing gum uses plant-derived bases such as chicle from the sapodilla tree, which biodegrade more readily and avoid putting microplastics in your mouth. Natural gums also tend to avoid artificial sweeteners, colors, and flavors.
