Delivering Trusted Products and Ingredients

Delivering Trusted Products & Ingredients

More than 800 million people around the world trust us for their grooming needs. Today, with more than 120 years’ experience, Gillette remains as committed as ever to delivering top quality grooming products.

How we choose our ingredients

So how do we choose what does or doesn’t go into our products? At Gillette, we use three specific criteria:

Safety

Our scientists partner with regulatory agencies around the world to ensure we only use ingredients that are safe.

Sustainable sourcing

At P&G, we are committed to the long-term health of natural ecosystems that are essential to people, biodiversity and our business. Our efforts start with ensuring responsible sourcing of key commodities like wood pulp, palm oil and paper packaging.

We also go beyond our direct supply chain to protect, improve and restore ecosystems in more places, where it matters most. We are partnering and investing in nature-based solutions to positively impact more than 1.5 million acres of land, balance any remaining carbon emissions from our manufacturing operations this decade, and enable positive outcomes for people and biodiversity.

We rely on 100+ years of experience and scientific research to select the best ingredients for a superior shave experience.
