Peppersmith

Peppersmith is a British brand of xylitol mints and chewing gum, a sweetener seen as kind to teeth. Its mints use peppermint grown in Hampshire.

History

Dan and Mike met at Innocent and saw that confectionery had not moved on. They discovered Finnish-style xylitol gum, then a Hampshire farmer growing a mint with a stronger character.

The brand launched the first mints made entirely with xylitol, then won shelf space from Waitrose to independent shops. It reworked its packaging and brought out larger pouches in 2023 and 2025.
