Where these two actually differ
- We flag Fragrance allergens and undisclosed ingredients, Silicone accumulation with extended use, Eye and mucous membrane irritation from surfactants and Microbial growth in damp bottles 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 cosmetic emulsion (water, silicones, conditioning agents) 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 →
