Pantene’s baobab essence, found to be rich in vitamin E, was combined with protective antioxidants and hydrating lipids to create the Baobab Nutrient Blend. The collection includes a Sulfate-Free Hydrating Glow Shampoo, Sulfate-Free Hydrating Glow Conditioner, and a Sulfate-Free Hydrating Glow Thirsty Ends Milk to Water Serum.
