Simply gum is proudly female and AAPI Founded. The owner, Caron, started Simply in 2014 after she discovered that regular chewing gum was made of a synthetic plastic base which can also be found in white glue, car tires, and water bottles. She started making batches of gum using a tree sap (chicle) base & sold the first Simply Gum products in stores throughout NYC. As Simply continues to expand, they bring their commitment to good ingredients and delicious taste to the development of each of their new products. Their gum is dairy-free, soy-free, nut-free, gluten-free & wheat-free. All of their products are vegan, Kosher & NON-GMO. They source the highest quality ingredients always and none of their products contain any artificial flavors, colors or sweeteners like aspartame. Packaging for both the gum and mints are recyclable.
