Hello! Who are you and what are you working on?

Hi! I’m Caron, the founder and CEO of Simply Gum, which makes natural chewing gum and mints.

Our flagship product is our line of natural chewing gum. Most people don’t realize that conventional chewing gum is made of plastic. It’s also filled with synthetic substances like aspartame and BHT. Consumers are kept in the dark because the FDA allows brands to hide synthetic ingredients in the catch-all term "gum base" on the label.

Instead of plastic, we use chicle, a sap that’s sustainably harvested from a tree. And we don’t use any synthetic ingredients. We also make all of our gum at our own factory in Brooklyn, New York.
