The formula is based on a combination of natural and synthetic ingredients. The main ingredient is Aloe Vera which is meant to soothe irritation and reduce inflammation. It is also supposed to speed up healing of the soft tissue in the mouth where canker sores are located. Aloe Vera is loaded with vitamins, enzymes, amino acids and polysaccharides. The product does not cause stinging or burning. The formula is lacking benzocaine and alcohol which are known to be primary therapeutic ingredients in many competitor canker sore gels. It is not clear whether this gel is at a disadvantage because it does not contain these ingredients.
Dosage Instructions
Apply the gel to the canker sore with clean hands or cotton swab several times a day. Avoid food or drink until the gel has dried. The product is safe for use for all age groups but young children should be supervised by an adult when using. There are no notable side effects but Sodium Benzoate when consumed in large quantities has been linked to blood cancers and leukemia.
Cost and Guarantee
The manufacturer’s website sells a tube of gel for $6.95. If you spend over $25, shipping is free. There are no additional special discounts for first time users or buyers in bulk. There is a 30-day money-back guarantee but it has many rules and only applies to unopened packages and requires a mailed in original receipt along with a list of other rules and conditions.
Summary Of Our GUM Canker-X Gel Review
There were several things that we liked about Gum Canker-X Gel. The product is all natural, and it comes with a 100% money back guarantee. The manufacturer claims that the product does not cause stinging or burning. It is relatively inexpensive when compared to competitor products and the website offers free shipping if you spend over $25 On the negative side, the gel lacks benzocaine and alcohol which are known to be primary therapeutic ingredients in many competitor canker sore gels. It is not clear whether this gel is at a disadvantage because it does not contain these ingredients. The website did not offer any additional discount coupons when buying in bulk. The guarantee only covers a product returned with receipt and unopened tubes of gel within 30 days of purchase but there were also other terms and conditions. With such a complex and limiting guarantee, it seems that it protected the needs of the company more than the rights of the consumer. For these reasons we are unable to recommend Sunstar GUM Canker-X Gel.
