Why it's different

Turn over almost any pack of gum and two words are doing all the work: gum base. That is a synthetic polymer, and nobody has to tell you which one.

Perli's base is chicle and mastic, resins tapped from trees, the way gum was made before plastic got involved. It softens as you chew instead of turning rubbery, and it holds up for the full twenty minutes.

Everything else on our label is named in full. No proprietary complex, no trademark standing in for an ingredient list.

How to chew it

One piece after anything you eat or drink. Coffee counts. So does the flat white at three.

Chew for a full twenty minutes. That is the part most people cut short, and it is the easiest thing to fix: pin it to a commute, a walk back from lunch, or the first stretch of the afternoon.

Eighteen pieces to a pack. How long that lasts is entirely up to you, so the supply durations we show are typical for our customers rather than a fixed rate. Chew more often and a pack goes faster.

Ingredients and allergens

Cinna Mint. Warmer and rounder than the Royal Mint. Real cinnamon over cool spearmint, with the spice arriving a beat after the chew starts and staying long after the sweetness has gone.

What you get out of a pack.

One mineral, and three things you'll notice.

97%of your tooth enamel is hydroxyapatite.

So that's what we put in the gum. Named in full on the front of the pack, not folded into a blend with a trademark on it.

  1. 01

    The just-brushed feeling, at 3pm.

    One piece after coffee. One after lunch. For the hours you can't get to a sink.

  2. 02

    It chews a full twenty minutes.

    Chicle and mastic hold their texture. Most gum has given up long before you're done with it.

  3. 03

    Eighteen pieces, and a reason for each one.

    Coffee, lunch, the afternoon one. It lives in a bag, not a bathroom cabinet.

    I'm a three-coffee-a-day person. This is the first thing that's made that feel like less of a problem.

    The texture is the thing nobody warns you about. It doesn't go rubbery after two minutes like normal gum does.

    Bought it for the ingredient list. Stayed for the cinnamon one, which I did not expect.

The gap

This is the day your pack is built for.

Watch a day go by, or tap any moment to jump to it.

pH 7 · neutral pH 5.5 · enamel starts to demineralise one piece one piece one piece

7am · Brush

You start clean.

Two minutes of brushing and your mouth is about as good as it gets all day. Plaque pH sits neutral, around 7, and nothing is dissolving.

8am · Coffee

The first drop.

Within minutes, bacteria in plaque turn what you just drank into acid. pH falls past 5.5, the point where enamel begins losing minerals, and stays down until saliva can carry it back. Roughly twenty to forty minutes.

12pm · Lunch

Deeper, and longer.

Lunch is bigger than coffee, so the fall is steeper and the climb back takes longer. Pick at something while you work and the curve never fully recovers before the next dip.

3pm · The afternoon one

The one nobody counts.

A biscuit at three costs another half hour below the line. Frequent small intakes are harder on enamel than one large meal, because the mouth simply spends more of the day acidic.

10pm · Brush

Fifteen hours later.

You brush again. Between those two brushes your enamel spent hours below the line, and nothing in the meantime was working in the other direction.

Chewing stimulates saliva, and saliva carries the pH back up. Perli adds back the mineral the acid borrowed. That is what the twenty minutes is for.

What's inside

Three ingredients, and what they're for.

The full list is printed on every pack and set out in the description above. Contains propolis and egg. Read the label.

  • Nano-Hydroxyapatite
    Named in full.

    The mineral

    Nano-Hydroxyapatite

    The mineral your enamel is made of. It settles into the microscopic gaps that make teeth look dull, and that is where the white comes from.

  • Xylitol
    Not sugar.

    The sweetener

    Xylitol

    All the sweetness, and nothing for acid-making bacteria to feed on. Sweet that stays out of the pH curve above.

  • Chicle + Mastic
    Not plastic.

    The base

    Chicle + Mastic

    Tree saps that hold their chew for the full twenty minutes. Also the reason none of this is plastic.

Early chewers

What the first packs came back with.

  • I read labels obsessively and this is the first gum I didn't have to google a single ingredient from.

    Hannah W.Fitzroy North VIC Verified

  • Went in sceptical about the price. Then I worked out what I was spending on the servo stuff and stopped arguing.

    Marcus T.Paddington QLD Verified

  • Two packs got me through about a month. I keep one at my desk and one in the car now.

    Elena V.Glenelg SA Verified

  • The cinnamon is genuinely good, which I say as someone who normally hates cinnamon anything.

    Josh A.Newtown NSW Verified

  • Ordered four so the shipping was free, and it turned out to be the right amount anyway.

Who makes this

We read labels for a living now.

Perli started with a label. We were turning over a pack of gum trying to work out what the gum base actually was, and the answer was that nobody says.

So we built one where every line is answerable. Chicle and mastic, tapped from trees. Xylitol instead of sugar. Nano-hydroxyapatite, named in full rather than hidden behind a trademark.

It took two years and a lot of arguing with chemists. This is the result.

Questions, answered.

Is chewing gum made of plastic?

Most ordinary gum is, in part: the “gum base” on a typical label is a synthetic polymer. Perli's base is chicle and mastic, saps tapped from trees.

What is nano-hydroxyapatite?

A form of hydroxyapatite, the mineral that makes up roughly 97% of tooth enamel. It has been used in oral care products in Japan since the 1980s. We name it in full on the front of every pack.

Is Perli sugar free?

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

How long does a pack last?

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. Supply durations shown on this page are typical rather than a fixed rate.

How does the pack pricing work?

One pack is $19.95. Two packs save 20%, four packs save 30% and tip you into free shipping, and eight packs save 40%, which works out at $11.97 a pack. The discount applies automatically in the pack builder, and you can mix flavours across your packs.

How does shipping work?

Every order ships tracked, Australia-wide, and usually arrives within 4 to 7 business days. Rates start at A$4.95 and are calculated at checkout. Shipping is free on orders of 4 packs or more.
