Is Pantene vegan?
Limited; most Pantene products contain animal-derived ingredients like keratin, but some natural lines may be plant-based.
Vegan means no animal-derived ingredients — beeswax, lanolin, carmine, collagen, silk or milk proteins — anywhere in the formula. It is a separate claim from cruelty-free, and a brand can be one without the other.
