Ingredients, Quality & Safety Explained
Nicotine pouches have rapidly grown in popularity as a cleaner, more discreet alternative to smoking and vaping. But what exactly are they made of? Understanding the ingredients is key to making an informed choice — not only for flavor and satisfaction, but for long-term health and safety. Let’s take a closer look at what goes into a nicotine pouch — and what makes some brands stand out above the rest.
1. Nicotine – The Core Component
The primary active ingredient in nicotine pouches is, of course, nicotine. It’s typically:
• Tobacco-derived or synthetic, depending on the brand
• Highly purified, to eliminate harsh compounds intake
• Precisely dosed for controlled and predictable
Importantly, nicotine pouches contain no tobacco leaf, which significantly reduces the harmful effects associated with smoking or chewing tobacco.

2. Plant-Based Fillers – The Soft Interior
The white filling inside each pouch is usually made from natural, plant-based fibers like:
• Cellulose derived from pine, eucalyptus, or cotton
• Occasionally food-safe gums for added structure
These materials are soft, clean, and biodegradable — designed to deliver nicotine gradually and comfortably without irritation.

3. Flavorings – Taste That’s Clean and Safe
Modern nicotine pouches come in a variety of flavors, made using:
• Food-grade, pharmaceutical-quality flavorings, Natural extracts and essential oils
And in the case of MU:UD, only organic and 100% natural ingredients are used to create a balanced, authentic flavor experience. No artificial enhancers, noharsh chemicals — just smooth, clean taste that respects your body.
This thoughtful approach not only enhances flavor but also minimizes health risks, especially for long-term users.

4. pH Regulators – Helping Nicotine Work Better
To help your body absorb nicotine more efficiently, pouches include safe pH-adjusting ingredients like:
• Sodium carbonate
• Sodium bicarbonate (baking soda)
These gentle compounds slightly raise the pH level of the pouch, ensuring effective nicotine delivery without the need for smoke or vapor.

5. Moisture Agents – A Smooth, Lasting Experience
To keep the pouch active and comfortable during use, brands add:
• Glycerol
• Propylene glycol
These are food-safe moisturizers that maintain consistency and shelf life. In premium formulations like MUUD, the focus is on balance — moisture is carefullyadjusted so it’s neither too dry nor too runny, ensuring an optimal experience from start to finish.

6. Pouch Material – Gentle and Food-Grade
The outer pouch is made from medical- or food-grade fiber, similar to a soft tea bag. It’s designed to:
• Sit comfortably under the lip
• Allow for gradual release of ingredients
• Stay intact throughout use
Top brands test their materials for safety, softness, and hygiene to ensure peace of mind for users.
