Bonjela Soothing Teething Gel – 15ml

Bonjela Soothing Teething Gel is a gentle, sugar-free gel designed to soothe and calm sore, tender gums in babies who are teething. It provides fast-acting relief to help make your baby more comfortable during this challenging time.

How It Works

Bonjela Soothing Teething Gel contains chamomile extract, which has natural soothing properties that help calm irritated gum tissue. When gently massaged onto the gums, the gel works to reduce discomfort and provide temporary relief from the soreness associated with teething. It is free from numbing agents, alcohol, artificial colours, flavours, sweeteners, and parabens, making it gentle enough for delicate baby gums.
