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
Can I take this gum through airport security in my carry-on without it counting as a liquid?
Yes. Chewing gum is a solid, so it is exempt from the TSA 3-1-1 liquids rule. You can pack SIMPLY Gum in your carry-on, personal item, or even your jacket pocket and walk through security without any liquid-related hassle.
Is the packaging durable enough to survive camping, hiking, and hot car trunks?
The pouches are designed to be resealable and travel-friendly, so they hold up well in a backpack, gym bag, or glove compartment. For extreme heat, we recommend storing the pack out of direct sunlight, but normal outdoor use is no problem.
Will the flavor hold up during a long hike or bike ride?
Yes. The peppermint essential oil flavor is naturally robust and tends to last longer than artificially flavored gums. Many outdoor users report that a single piece stays flavorful across an entire trail or ride.
Is this gum safe to chew while trail running or doing high-output outdoor activity?
Chewing is a personal preference during high-output activity, but the gum contains no stimulants or caffeine, so it will not raise your heart rate. Just stay hydrated, especially since xylitol is a sugar alcohol that can have a mild laxative effect if overconsumed.
Does this gum work well for post-workout breath at the gym or trailhead?
It is one of the most popular gym-bag staples we see, because it freshens breath quickly without sugar, aspartame, or artificial ingredients. The chew also gives your jaw something to do during the cool-down stretch.
I want a single gum that travels from car to trail to dinner. Is this it?
Yes. SIMPLY Gum was designed to be portable and versatile, and the slim 15-piece pouches slip easily into a jacket pocket, running belt, or crossbody bag. The clean peppermint flavor transitions naturally from outdoor adventure to evening plans.
How does SIMPLY Gum compare to bringing mints on a camping trip?
Mints dissolve quickly, run out fast, and often contain artificial sweeteners, whereas SIMPLY Gum lasts longer per piece and offers a real chew. For multi-day trips, a three-pack delivers 45 pieces of fresh breath without the bulk of a tin of mints.
Is this a better outdoor choice than a traditional plastic-based gum like Orbit or Trident?
For outdoor use, the natural chicle base is a significant advantage: if a piece is accidentally dropped on a trail, it breaks down far more readily than synthetic plastic gum. You also avoid chewing microplastics while breathing hard on a hike.
Will chewing this gum dry out my mouth during long outdoor activities in the heat?
Xylitol actually stimulates saliva flow, which is one reason dentists recommend xylitol gum. In hot or dry conditions, that extra saliva can be more comfortable than a dry mouth, though you should still drink water alongside chewing.
Is the resealable pouch reliable enough for a kayak or paddleboard dry bag?
The pouches are designed to be resealable and travel-tough, so they hold up well inside dry bags, suitcases, and backpacks. For full submersion protection, we recommend placing the pouch inside a small zip-top bag first.
I camp in bear country. Is xylitol gum a concern around wildlife?
Like any gum, sweetener residue can attract wildlife, so it is best practice to pack out all used gum and wrappers, regardless of brand. The natural chicle base is more biodegradable if dropped, but you should still follow Leave No Trace principles.
Will this gum freeze or get ruined if I leave it in my car overnight in winter?
Chewing gum tolerates cold storage well, and freezing does not harm the pieces or pouches. Once it warms up in your hands or pocket, it returns to a normal chewable texture.
I commute by bike. Will the pouch stay sealed and clean in my saddle bag?
Yes. The resealable pouches are designed to stay closed during normal jostling, and the slim format fits easily into a saddle bag, jersey pocket, or hip pack. Many cyclists keep a pouch there for post-ride breath refresh.
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.
