Sugar-laden candies like taffy, lollipops and chewy drops have the potential to contribute to tooth decay, but Zollipops' sugar-free treats promise to actually make one's teeth healthier.
What gives these candies their sweetness are sugar substitutes like stevia, Erythritol and Xylitol, and their colors only come from natural, plant-based sources like turmeric, beetroot juice and grape extract. In all, the confections are free from gluten, dairy and artificial colors.
Zollipops makes The Clean Teeth Pops, which are branded as "The After You Eat Treat," as well as Clean Teeth Drops and Clean Teeth Taffy. The sugar-free candy brand was launched by a young entrepreneur who found herself asking: "Why can’t we make a lollipop that’s actually good for your teeth?”
