For every TRESemmé product we develop, we start with key insights about the most sought-after salon trends and develop unique formulations that deliver on performance and quality. Before making our products available to consumers, we make health and safety our top priority. That’s why all TRESemmé formulas are rigorously assessed by leading experts using industry-proven methods before being made available in market. We ensure that our products meet the highest standards in quality and safety, respecting all applicable laws and regulations in the United States, Europe, and all other markets where TRESemmé is sold.
Standard evaluations we conduct on our products prior to going to market include:
All of these assessments and evaluations prove that TRESemmé products are safe to use.
In addition, we commonly test our products for efficacy to ensure they deliver the top-tier results our consumers expect. Examples of these testing methodologies include:
Result: TRESemmé products perform as well or better than salon brands
Similar to other cosmetic brands in the industry, we use certain ingredients when necessary to help preserve the quality of our products. Otherwise, our products could grow moldy, change color, or start to smell.
Select TRESemmé products use DMDM hydantoin (dimethyl-dimethylhydantoin) as a stabilizing preservative. Industry regulators have approved this ingredient for use in personal care products to prevent harmful growth of bacteria and mold. Experts like the independent US Cosmetics Ingredient Review Panel and Europe’s Scientific Community on Consumer Safety have repeatedly found DMDM hydantoin to be a safe and effective cosmetics preservative.
For more information on DMDM hydantoin safety, please reference the following third-party resources:
Nonetheless, by July 2021, all TRESemmé products will be DMDM hydantoin free. To see if your Tresemmé product contains DMDM hydantoin, please refer to our ingredient labels, which differ for each product.
Our TRESemmé policy prohibits animal tests for our products and the ingredients used in them, anywhere in the world. Over 40 years ago our parent company, Unilever, started developing and using non-animal methods to assess product safety. Unilever’s ongoing work on alternatives to animal testing, and its commitment to advocate for their acceptance globally, has also been recognised by PETA, which lists Unilever as a company working for regulatory change.
At TRESemmé, we stand by the quality of our products, and nothing is more important to us than your complete satisfaction. If you are not satisfied with the results of your TRESemmé shampoos or conditioners within the first 30 days after purchase, please reach out for your money back.
