Curated, not stocked.
Most chewing gums are held together by synthetic polymer bases and sweetened with compounds we would not otherwise recommend. Underbrush strips that back entirely. Mastic gum has a long-standing place in oral and digestive wellness, and the evidence base, while still developing, is more substantive than for most gum ingredients. For patients wanting a genuinely clean swap, this earns its place.
About this product
Mastic Mint
Underbrush Mastic Mint is a natural chewing gum made with mastic gum and natural mint. Mastic gum is a resinous substance derived from the Pistacia lentiscus tree, long used in Mediterranean traditions and studied for its potential role in supporting oral hygiene and digestive comfort. Unlike conventional chewing gums, this formulation avoids synthetic additives, relying instead on the inherent properties of its two core ingredients.
This gum suits people who want a functional alternative to standard confectionery gum — particularly those mindful of artificial sweeteners, plasticisers, or synthetic flavourings common in mass-market options. It fits naturally into a daily oral health routine, after meals or as a between-meal habit.
Mastic has a distinctive resinous texture and a mild, slightly piney flavour that softens with chewing; the natural mint contributes a clean, fresh finish. It is worth noting that mastic gum is also studied for its potential antibacterial properties in the oral cavity, which may support gum health over time. As with any supplement in this category, consistent use is where any benefit is most likely to accrue. The short, transparent ingredient list is what places this on our shelves — two recognisable ingredients, nothing added to pad or preserve.

Common questions
Frequently asked
What exactly is mastic gum?
Mastic gum is a natural resin harvested from the Pistacia lentiscus tree, traditionally grown in the Mediterranean. It has been chewed for centuries and is studied for potential antibacterial and digestive properties.
How does this differ from regular chewing gum?
Conventional chewing gums typically use a synthetic polymer base and include artificial sweeteners or flavourings. This product uses mastic resin as its base with natural mint — no synthetic additives.
Can I chew this if I have a tree nut or pistachio allergy?
Mastic comes from the Pistacia lentiscus tree, which is in the same genus as pistachio. If you have a known allergy to pistachio or related trees, consult your doctor or pharmacist before use.
Will it actually freshen my breath?
Natural mint contributes a fresh flavour, and mastic gum is studied for mild antibacterial activity in the oral cavity, which may help address some causes of bad breath with regular use.
Is there a limit to how much I should chew per day?
Check the packaging for any specific guidance. As a general principle, excessive gum chewing of any kind can place strain on the jaw joint (TMJ), so moderation is sensible.
