Where these two actually differ
- We flag Fragrance allergens and sensitizers, Preservative contact sensitization (parabens, phenoxyethanol, or equivalent) and Bacterial or fungal growth if stored improperly or cap left open on the Aussie and not on the Pantene.
- We flag Fragrance allergens and Silicone buildup (cosmetic, not toxicological) on the Pantene and not on the Aussie.
- The Aussie is water-based conditioning emulsion (typical, glycerin, conditioning polymers, water) where the Pantene is aqueous conditioning cream; typical surfactants, silicones, emollients, which is most of the difference in these two grades.
- These two are level, close enough that price and fit should decide it rather than our grade.
Both products run through the same public rubric: materials, coatings, brand disclosure, lab findings, and recalls, plus a beyond-PFAS hazard analysis. Grades are model-based estimates, not lab tests. How grades work →
