Where these two actually differ
- We flag Fragrance allergens (undisclosed specific compounds), Preservative-induced contact dermatitis and Silicone buildup and scalp irritation on the Garnier Fructis and not on the Pantene.
- We flag Fragrance allergens and Silicone buildup (cosmetic, not toxicological) on the Pantene and not on the Garnier Fructis.
- The Garnier Fructis is aqueous hair conditioner formulation 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 →
