Giving Chewing Gum A Refresh. 🌱 Plant-Based 🌳 Gum Base From Tree Sap 🌻 Vegan & Non-GMO 🌎 Synthetic Free

About us

We're on a mission to give consumers a chewing that is only from the highest quality plant-based ingredients. We use chicle, a tree sap for our gum base (no hidden plastic), real colors from fruits and vegetables, plant-based sweeteners, flavors from organic mint, organic Japanese matcha, organic raspberries, and organic cinnamon. Also, no palm oil. The majority of chewing gum brands today use a plastic gum base filled as well as artificial flavors, colors, sweeteners, preservatives, and palm oil. Today, our gum is sold in over 900 stores nationwide. Join our mission and help give chewing gum a Refresh!

    Today marks a special day as it is the two-year anniversary of Refresh Gum’s launch into the world! This journey that began in my home kitchen has now expanded to over 3,000 stores across all 50 states in the US. This year, we were thrilled to partner with some remarkable retailers and introduce three new flavors: Bubble Gum, Peppermint, and Peach. From day one, our goal has been to create the world's best chewing gum using the highest quality plant-based ingredients, while delivering a nostalgic yet guilt-free chewing experience. Our dedication to this mission has only strengthened as we continue to grow and expand our reach. We remain committed to sourcing the finest ingredients our planet has to offer, minimizing our environmental impact, and ensuring that our products meet the highest quality standards. The chewing gum industry has long been dominated by synthetic, plastic-based products filled with artificial flavors, colors, sweeteners, and preservatives. We knew there was a better way and set out to change it for good. From the bottom of my heart, I want to thank our team, partners, retailers, investors, and customers, as none of this would be possible without you! We're immensely grateful for the partnerships that have enabled us to provide a better alternative to consumers. We are excited to see where the future takes us, one piece of gum at a time!

    Two years ago, I embarked on a journey to redefine what chewing gum could be with Refresh Gum. When I found out conventional gum had a synthetic plastic gum base and was filled with artificial ingredients, I made it my mission to change that for good. Today, I'm overjoyed to share our three newest flavors: Bubble Gum, Peppermint, and Peach. Bubble Gum: We're bringing you all of the nostalgia, but without any of the artificial ingredients. Our Bubble Gum flavor is blended with the perfect combination of organic bananas, organic raspberries, and organic cherries to create this nostalgic flavor. It's everything you loved as a kid, reinvented. Peppermint: Capturing the refreshing essence of a crisp, cool wave of pure peppermint. Perfectly balanced with organic mint that’s delightfully fresh, and absolutely irresistible. The perfect breath freshener and palate cleanser. Peach: This flavor embodies the simple pleasure of biting into a ripe, succulent peach. Crafted with organic peaches, it offers a delightful blend of sweetness and subtle tanginess, ensuring an endlessly enjoyable chew. These new flavors represent more than just an expansion of Refresh Gum's product line, they stand as a testament to our ongoing commitment to clean ingredients, sustainability, innovation, and redefining what chewing gum can be. As we celebrate this milestone, I want to express my heartfelt gratitude to our phenomenal community for your unwavering support!
