If you see the term “Gum Base” written on the back of your pack of gum, that’s code for potentially many different chemicals, including the same synthetic plastics used in white glue, car tires, and water bottles!  We don’t like chewing on synthetic plastic, so we use a tree sap (chicle) as the base of our gum instead! We also leave out artificial flavors, colors and sweeteners like aspartame. We only use the highest quality ingredients in our gum.
