Mastic is a natural resin that comes from the mastic tree. When the bark is gently scored, the tree releases small, tear-shaped droplets that harden in the sun.
 
These "tears" are then collected, cleaned, and used in our gum.

So instead of creating another "less bad" gum, we built ours from the ground up with mastic at the center.
