About Pantene
Pantene was created in Switzerland in 1945 and named for panthenol, the provitamin at the centre of its formulation. Procter & Gamble acquired it in 1985 and relaunched it in 1992 around the promise of hair that is healthy and shiny, turning a pharmacy brand into a global mass-market one.
