Where these two actually differ
- We flag Fragrance allergens and undisclosed fragrance components and Scalp irritation or sensitization from surfactants or conditioning agents on the Hairstory and not on the Pantene.
- We flag Fragrance allergens and Silicone buildup (cosmetic, not toxicological) on the Pantene and not on the Hairstory.
- The Hairstory is aqueous cleansing cream (emulsion base) 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.
