✨ Simply Gum: Plastic-Free Dental gum, made with a chicle base from tree sap.

🌱 Ingredients: Plant-based xylitol, chicle base (chicle tree sap, candelilla wax, citric acid), organic vegetable glycerin, gum arabic, organic rice flour, natural flavor oils.

📦 Packaging: Uncoated paper, recyclable with your paper waste.

✨ Hippiekit Take: Almost every chewing gum lists “gum base” on the label, and that base is usually polyvinyl acetate, a synthetic plastic. You chew it, spit it out, and it never breaks down. This one uses chicle, the tree sap gum was originally made from. Every ingredient is plant or mineral derived, and it is sweetened with xylitol rather than aspartame.

✨ Simply Mints: Assorted breath mints: two tins each of Peppermint, Cinnamon and Ginger. Three ingredients per flavor.

🍃 Ingredients (as listed by Simply Gum): Peppermint: cane sugar, peppermint oil, calcium stearate. Cinnamon: cane sugar, cinnamon oil, calcium stearate. Ginger: cane sugar, ginger oil, calcium stearate.

✅ The Good: Flavored with real peppermint, cinnamon and ginger oils, with no artificial sweeteners or colors.

💚 Progress Over Perfection: These do contain cane sugar (under 1 g per mint). Calcium stearate is a mineral-and-fat compound that stops the mints sticking to the press; Simply Gum doesn’t say if the fat is from plants or animals.

📦 Packaging: Metal tins.
