Pantene Pro-V Daily Moisture Renewal Conditioner
At a glance
Summary
Pantene Pro-V Daily Moisture Renewal Conditioner scores 20/100 -- a conventional drugstore conditioner stacking a silicone, the MCI/MIT preservative pair, phenoxyethanol, undisclosed fragrance, and EDTA. Bis-Aminopropyl Dimethicone is an amine-modified silicone that builds up on hair and is an environmentally persistent siloxane microplastic precursor. Methylchloroisothiazolinone + Methylisothiazolinone is the 'Kathon CG' pair, ACDS Contact Allergen of the Year 2013 and EU-restricted. The family-size (28.9 fl oz) version adds Red 33 + Yellow 5 synthetic dyes and behentrimonium methosulfate. Better than L'Oreal Elvive Conditioner (14/100) because no Behentrimonium / Cetrimonium Chloride dirty quats, no SLES, no Isopropyl Alcohol -- uses the cleaner Stearamidopropyl Dimethylamine cationic instead. Strong Panthenol + Glycerin + Cetyl/Stearyl Alcohol payload. Owned by Procter & Gamble.
