Smint is a globally recognized brand of sugar-free breath mints, famously known for its unique triangular shape and the signature 'one-at-a-time' dispensing mechanism. The brand was launched in 1994 by the Spanish confectionery giant Chupa Chups, specifically targeting an adult demographic looking for a functional and discreet breath freshener.

Today, Smint is part of the extensive portfolio of Perfetti Van Melle, one of the world's largest confectionery and gum manufacturers. While the brand originated in Spain and maintains significant production facilities there (notably in Barcelona), its reach is international, with distribution and manufacturing support across various global regions to meet the demand for its various mint and fruit flavors.

Ownership of Smint transitioned when the Italian-Dutch corporation Perfetti Van Melle acquired the Chupa Chups company in 2006. This acquisition solidified the brand's place within a massive global distribution network, ensuring its availability in over 100 countries. The brand remains a leader in the tooth-friendly confectionery sector, often carrying endorsements from international dental heritage organizations.
