Mastic Gum

Mastic Gum – Bulk Supply for Food, Nutraceutical & Cosmetic Industries

Product Overview

Mastic Gum (Pistacia lentiscus), is a rare natural resin obtained from the mastic tree, primarily grown in the Mediterranean region. Renowned since antiquity, mastic gum is valued for its aromatic flavor, antibacterial properties, and functional applications. Rich in essential oils, terpenes, and antioxidants, it is widely used in confectionery, bakery, chewing gum, herbal medicine, oral care, and cosmetics. Traditionally recognized for digestive health and oral hygiene, mastic gum is today an exclusive raw material in the food, nutraceutical, and wellness industries.

At Tuna Sourcing, we supply authentic mastic gum carefully harvested and processed under the ISO 22000 Food Safety Management System. Available in tears, granules, powder, and oil extracts, our mastic gum meets the needs of food producers, nutraceutical brands, and cosmetic manufacturers worldwide.
