Our Premium Ingredients
Chicle Gum Base
Chicle gum base, the backbone of our formula, gives our gum its body and texture. Made from the sap of the Sapodilla tree, harvested deep in the Mayan jungles, it is all natural, plastic free, and biodegradable. Harvested from living trees, this ancient, sustainable, practice preserves the local way of life and keeps the jungle trees standing. The Maya would chew chicle to freshen breath, clean their teeth and curb their appetite during long journeys. A time-tested tradition dating back over 2000 years.
Hydroxyapatite
Hydroxyapatite is a naturally occurring mineral made of calcium and phosphorus. It is the primary mineral that makes up human tooth enamel and bone, giving them their hardness and structure. With particle sizes of roughly 2 to 10 microns, our Hydroxyapatite matches the particle size commonly used in oral-care products, without containing nano-particles. Unlike other companies, we import our food-grade Hydroxyapatite directly from our European supplier, who maintains strict purity and particle size standards. 58mg per piece.
Xylitol
Xylitol is a natural sweetener derived from plants like birch trees and corn fiber. With fewer calories than sugar, it is a popular choice in modern dental-friendly products. Unlike sugar, xylitol isn’t readily used by the oral bacteria that cause cavities, making it a great alternative for those looking to reduce sugar intake and improve their oral health.
