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
Is SIMPLY Gum a good last-minute birthday gift for a health-conscious friend?
Yes. It is a lightweight, shelf-stable gift that ships easily and arrives looking thoughtful. For a wellness-focused recipient who reads ingredient panels, the clean-label formula and 45-piece three-pack feel generous without being extravagant.
Does this come in giftable packaging or do I need to wrap it myself?
The product ships in a clean, branded three-pack of 15-piece pouches that look presentable as-is. Many givers place the pack into a small gift bag with tissue paper or add it to a larger wellness gift basket, but no extra wrapping is required.
Would this be a thoughtful Valentine's Day gift for my partner who hates mints?
If your partner dislikes mints because of the sugar crash, aspartame, or chalky texture, SIMPLY Gum is a great fit. The peppermint essential oil flavor tastes clean and fresh, the chew is satisfying, and the clean-ingredient story makes it feel intentional rather than generic.
Is this appropriate as a hostess or housewarming gift for someone into clean living?
Absolutely. It is one of those easy upgrades a clean-living host will actually use and appreciate, and the 45-piece count means it lasts well beyond the party. Pair it with a candle or a small kitchen item for an elevated housewarming bundle.
Can I include this in a holiday gift basket without it melting or going stale?
Yes. Chewing gum is shelf-stable and unaffected by typical shipping temperatures, so it holds up beautifully inside holiday gift baskets, stockings, and care packages. It also travels well in a care package to college students or military family members.
Is this a good stocking stuffer for a vegan family member with food allergies?
It is an excellent choice. SIMPLY Gum is certified Vegan, Kosher, Non-GMO, and free of gluten, soy, nuts, and dairy, which makes it safe for most common allergen households. The compact 15-piece pouches also fit perfectly into a Christmas stocking.
How does SIMPLY Gum compare to gifting a tin of mints from a big-box store?
A tin of mass-market mints is generic and usually loaded with artificial sweeteners and colors, whereas SIMPLY Gum offers a real chew, natural chicle, and dentist-recommended xylitol. It signals that you paid attention to the recipient's clean-label values.
Is there a better premium natural gum to gift than this one for someone switching from Peppermint 5?
For someone moving away from Peppermint 5 specifically, SIMPLY Gum is one of the most popular swaps because it delivers a comparable peppermint punch without aspartame, synthetic plastic, or artificial flavors. The 45-piece pack also makes it feel like a substantial upgrade.
What is the price point relative to other natural chewing gums, and does it feel gift-worthy?
SIMPLY Gum sits in the premium natural gum tier, slightly above mass-market gum but on par with or below other clean-label competitors. Given the 45-piece count, the clean ingredient panel, and the female-founded small business story, most gifters find the value gift-worthy.
What if the person I am gifting this to does not actually chew gum often?
Even light gum chewers tend to enjoy SIMPLY Gum because the natural flavor and satisfying chew win over skeptics. If they truly do not chew, the product is still safe to compost the outer packaging, so nothing goes to waste in their home.
I am worried my gift will look cheap. Does this product feel premium enough to give?
The ingredient panel reads like a premium wellness product, and the brand is positioned around clean sourcing and female-founded small business values. Most gifters say the perceived value far exceeds the actual price, especially in the 45-piece three-pack format.
Can I send this directly to the recipient as a gift with a note?
Yes. Many Shopify-based orders for SIMPLY Gum can be shipped directly to the recipient's address. We recommend adding a personal note at checkout if the retailer offers that option, since the pouches themselves are blank inside the box.
Is this appropriate for an office Secret Santa or white elephant gift?
It is a perfect office gift because the pouches are small, the price fits most Secret Santa budgets, and almost anyone can use gum. The clean-ingredient angle is also a fun conversation starter compared to another generic candle or mug.
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.
