Environmental, Social and Governance

Building Bonds. Building a Better Tomorrow.

At OLAPLEX, we believe our responsibility extends beyond our products that contribute to healthier hair. We're investing in reducing our environmental impact and supporting our ever-growing community.

Environmental

Good for Your Hair, Good for the Planet

We believe our impact should extend beyond hair repair. We have a responsibility to create quality products while creating as little harm to the planet as possible.

Repair From Within

Our cruelty-free, non-toxic formulas promote wellness in your hair without threatening the environment. OLAPLEX is proud to be free of Parabens, Sodium Lauryl Sulfate “SLS”, Sodium Lauryl Ether Sulfate “SLES”, Phthalates and Phosphates.

Reducing Our Carbon Footprint

Through limiting our secondary packaging and partnering with Ecovadis to assess the sustainability practices of our third party manufacturing and logistics providers, we're proud of the steps we are taking to reduce our environmental impact.

Charitable Donations

In March 2022, we introduced the Shopping Gives program to our website. Shopping Gives is a charitable initiative whereby we donate $1 for every order that a retail or professional customer buys, at no additional cost to the customer. Customers can choose from a list of causes to benefit from their purchase.

Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion

We believe it is important that our employees reflect the diversity of our hairstylist and consumer community. Our Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (“DE&I”) initiatives focus on promoting a workplace of inclusion and acceptance. In January 2021, we established “DE&I Champions,” which is a small group of employees who reinforce our collective commitment to foster a diverse, equitable, and inclusive culture. Their role is to identify opportunities to further engage our employees through training and education, encouraging candid conversations, and leading by example. 

As a result of our efforts, we have created a diverse workplace environment with 78% of our employees identifying as female and 39% identifying as non-white, as of December 31, 2023. Our current OLAPLEX employees include former professional hairstylists whose unique perspectives and insights have helped us better understand our diverse consumer base and what matters to them. Additionally, eight of the 11 members of our Board are female. We know through experience that different ideas, perspectives and backgrounds create a stronger and more creative work environment that can deliver better results.
