Chewing gum built around Nano-Hydroxyapatite, the mineral tooth enamel is made from, rather than around flavour alone. Perli pairs it with xylitol instead of sugar, on a gum base of chicle and mastic tapped from trees. Eighteen pieces to a pack.

Directions: chew one piece after meals or drinks, for at least 20 minutes.

A nano-scale form of hydroxyapatite, the calcium phosphate mineral that makes up roughly 97% of tooth enamel. It has been used in oral care products in Japan since the 1980s.

It is the first ingredient we chose, and we print it in full on the front of every pack rather than folding it into a blend with a trademark on it.

Most ordinary gum is, in part. The “gum base” listed on a typical label is a synthetic polymer, which is a plastic. You will often see it written as polyisobutylene, polyvinyl acetate or styrene-butadiene rubber.

Perli's base is different: chicle and mastic, saps tapped from trees.

After anything you eat or drink, bacteria in plaque produce acid and the pH in your mouth falls. Below about pH 5.5, enamel begins to lose minerals. Saliva carries the pH back up over roughly twenty to forty minutes.

Chewing stimulates saliva. That is what the twenty minutes is for.

Royal Mint is crisp and classic, cool spearmint the whole way through. Cinna Mint is warmer and rounder, with real cinnamon over the mint.

Both are 18 pieces a pack and share the same base, the same mineral and the same sweeteners. The only difference is how they taste.

Yes. Sweetened with xylitol and erythritol, both plant-derived. No sugar, no aspartame, and nothing synthetic in the base.

A naturally occurring sweetener, traditionally derived from birch, that tastes like sugar but is not sugar. It is one of the two sweeteners in Perli alongside erythritol.

One caution for pet owners: xylitol is toxic to dogs. Keep packs out of their reach.

One piece after anything you eat or drink, chewed for a full twenty minutes. Coffee counts. Especially coffee.

Twenty minutes is the part most people cut short. The easiest fix is to pin it to something you already do: a commute, the walk back from lunch, or the first stretch of the afternoon.

Eighteen pieces to a pack. Most of our customers find a two-pack lasts about a month, though it depends entirely on how often you chew. The supply durations shown on our product pages are typical for our customers rather than a fixed rate.

A single pack is $19.95. Buying more brings the price per pack down: two packs are $31.92, four are $55.86, and eight are $95.76, which works out at $11.97 a pack.

Thirty days to change your mind. If the texture or the flavour is not for you, email hello@perli.com.au and we will refund it. You do not need to send back what you have already chewed through.

Yes, and we print them plainly. Perli contains propolis, which can cause severe allergic reactions in some people, and egg, from eggshell-derived calcium.

Like all products sweetened with polyols, excess consumption may have a laxative effect. Always read the label.

Perli is formulated for adults. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or considering it for a child, check with your health practitioner first.
