Zellie’s Mints:
Xylitol: Zellie’s mints contain 0.5 grams of xylitol in each mint. We use only non-GMO, pharmaceutical-grade xylitol tested multiple times for purity.
Natural Flavor: Our flavorings are derived from natural, non-GMO sources. Using the purest and best-tasting flavors is always our priority.
Citric Acid / Malic Acid (Cool Fruit Mints): We use a tiny amount of citric and malic acid in our Cool Fruit Mints to create the mouth-watering taste that makes them irresistible. Our citric and malic acid is derived from plant sources and is non-GMO
Natural Menthol (Cool Mint and Cool Fruit Mints): Natural menthol comes from mint plants. It is used to create the breath-freshening, cooling effect in our mints.
Magnesium Stearate: Magnesium stearate aids in the compression of the xylitol so it holds its shape in a mint tablet form. Our magnesium stearate is sourced from vegetables and is non-GMO.
Stearic Acid: Stearic acid keeps xylitol from sticking to manufacturing equipment. It is one of the most common long-chain fatty acids. We source ours from non-GMO vegetable sources.
Zellie’s Gum:
Xylitol: Zellie’s gum contains 1.0 grams of xylitol in each piece. We use only non-GMO, pharmaceutical-grade xylitol tested multiple times for purity.
Gum Base: Zellie’s gum base is of the highest food-grade quality and meets all FDA standards. The gum base is used to hold ingredients together. There is no BHT in our gum base.
Natural Flavors: Our flavorings are derived from natural, non-GMO sources. Using the purest and best-tasting flavors is always our priority.
Gum Arabic: We use gum arabic to help the ingredients stick together. It is sourced from the acacia tree.
Sunflower Lecithin: To help mix the ingredients together, we use non-GMO sunflower lecithin as an emulsifying agent. Many other gums use genetically modified soy lecithin.
Carnauba Wax: Zellie’s gum is coated with carnauba wax to seal in the ingredients and protect the gum from humidity. Carnauba wax comes from the leaves of the Brazilian carnauba palm plant.
