Did you know Pantene was originally used to treat burns? In the 1940s, Swiss researchers were working on a potent medication to heal wounds when they realized the hair around the treated skin was growing in stronger and thicker. The powerful ingredient causing this to happen was the pro-vitamin, panthenol, which is where Pantene gets its name. We continue this legacy of forward-thinking today, challenging the norm and inspiring the future with products that solve consumers' everyday problems.

Unexpected discoveries can lead to great things, including Pantene’s pro-vitamin, panthenol, which can still be found in Pantene’s formulas today. These strengthening lipids act like hair’s natural, healthy oils to nourish hair inside and out. Pantene scientists continue to innovate with signature nutrients like Panthenol to help more people have more great hair days.
