Our Manifesto
Pantene is on a mission to give more people, more great hair days, because hair is always more than “just hair.”
Landmark global research conducted by Pantene with Dr. Marianne LaFrance, Ph.D., Professor at Yale University and social psychologist Dr. Adam Galinsky, Ph.D., Professor of Business and Chair of Management Division at Columbia Business School found that hair is the #1 way people express their identity and sense of self to the world. Great hair can kickstart a great day. Great hair goes beyond looking good: it impacts how we each perceive ourselves. When you feel good about your hair, you feel happier, more true to “you:” great hair makes you feel more competent and more confident, more joyful and more creative.
Great hair days create more great days.
Which is why Pantene is committed to making the best possible hair care—safe and effective—in the best possible way. Every single day, hundreds of Pantene scientists dedicate their time to thinking about the health and safety of you and your hair, your community and the world. Since 1945, when Swiss doctors first discovered the nurturing, hair-boosting benefits of Pantene’s Pro-Vitamin B5, we’ve made healthy hair a reality for hundreds of millions of people around the globe.

OUR PRO-V
nutrient story
Our pro-v discovery
It was purely by chance that Swiss doctors at an intensive care unit made a discovery that would change the history of hair care. It was the 1940s and they had been working with a brand new treatment to heal serious skin injuries.
Our vitamin story
It was by chance yet again that news of Pro-Vitamin B5 made its way to the attention of beauty buyers for some of Europe’s top department stores. Very soon it became a highly prized and luxury hair tonic.
