Safety & Quality

Pantene strives to achieve the highest bar for both efficacy and safety, using proven ingredients in innovative formulas so that every product we make helps you get more great hair day, every day.

Benefical

Pantene’s philosophy is simple: The most beautiful hair is the healthiest hair. Based on 50-plus years of research, our iconic Pro-V Nutrient Blends, combined with protective antioxidants, replenishing lipids, and nutrient-rich natural extracts, treats hair from the inside out to truly gives you stronger, shinier, healthy looking hair.

Essential

When you come up with a formula that works, why complicate it with fillers and fluff? At Pantene, we believe the best product “recipe” is the one that’s most precise. By sticking to best-in-class, thoroughly researched ingredients in highly effective concentrations, we deliver maximum results with no excess.

Safe

Our team of scientists work with experts, like dermatologists, to screen each ingredient and make sure that it is good for your hair, and safe for your body while also considering safety for the environment. We work with third-party independent experts such as the Swiss Vitamin Institute to confirm the quality of our ingredients. Our vigilance never ends: we scrutinize every single formula throughout its entire lifecycle.
