GUM is a globally recognized oral care brand with a long history of professional focus. The GUM Bio Fresh Mint toothpaste is part of their organic line, formulated with natural ingredients like aloe vera and peppermint. The brand's origin is tied to the United States, specifically through the work of Dr. John O. Butler, who pioneered high-quality toothbrushes for dentists.

In the late 1980s, the brand was acquired by the Sunstar Group, a Japanese multinational corporation. Today, while GUM maintains its American heritage in design and professional association, it operates under Sunstar's global network. Manufacturing for the European market, including the Bio range, is frequently centered in Italy where specialized oral care production facilities are located. The ultimate ownership lies with Sunstar Suisse S.A., based in Switzerland, which manages the group's global oral care and health-related businesses.
