As a stylist and salon owner, this is cheaper than I can get Olaplex. 🚩Amazon is not an authorized retailer. The only people/ places authorized to resell Olaplex are licensed stylists, ulta, and Sephora. That's it. Olaplex actually has a lawsuit with Walmart right now for this same thing. I love this product, but you do not know what you're getting when you buy it this way.
https://www.forbes.com/advisor/legal/product-liability/olaplex-lawsuit/#:~:text=The%20Olaplex%20laws...[forbes.com] The Olaplex lawsuit that was filed in 2023 alleges that Olaplex caused users to experience hair breakage, hair loss and scalp irritation. It is also alleged that Olaplex engaged in a cover-up of this fact while reassuring its users that its products were safe. The plaintiffs say that if Olaplex had been honest about the complaints it was receiving, that may have prevented some of the people who were injured by the product from using it in the first place.
History of Olaplex Lawsuits
Olaplex's legal trouble began in early 2022, just a few months after their IPO. The European Union banned a chemical called lilial (butylphenyl methylpropional) for cosmetic use, stating that it was potentially toxic for reproduction. At the time of the ban, Olaplex was using lilial in its best-selling product. It removed the ingredient, stating that it was not an active ingredient and, thus, the formulation was not affected by its removal.
There was some unrest on social media in the wake of the lilial removal. However, things settled down for almost a year—until February 2023. In that month a lawsuit was filed by nearly 30 women. The lawsuit alleges that Olaplex caused hair loss, breakage, bald spots, and other injuries to their hair and scalp.
One of the allegations was that Olaplex had not recalled any product containing lilial after the reformulation, instead allowing stock on shelves to be sold prior to restocking with the new formulation.
The use of Vitamin B5 (panthenol) was also mentioned. This ingredient can sometimes cause an allergic reaction and contact dermatitis. In addition, plaintiffs pointed out that the products contain sodium benzoate and ascorbic acid. When mixed together, these chemicals can create benzene, a known carcinogen.
I agree that I'm cautious of some things being authentic from Amazon, but after researching a bit, it does seem legit.
1. I see Amazon on the "Authorized Reseller" list from the Olaplex site itself (image attached).
2. I see an Amazon store for Olaplex that directs you to the discounted products in this Slickdeals post: Link Here[amazon.com]
3. The products have over 60,000 reviews of 4.6 out of 5.0 stars. (Fake Spot shows high confidence in reviews: Here[fakespot.com])

Thanks OP… just stocked up for a years worth of shampoo... I only use Olaplex products and have long silky straight hair.. I would never use any other product even for free.. well worth the $30 original price.

Don't know about others but we stopped using Olaplex products and had to trash our half used bottles of shampoo and conditioner. My wife and my 2 teen daughters loved it at first. Very smooth and light feeling hair after shampooing. But after a couple of times using it, they began to notice excessive hair fall, more than usual. The only change in lifestyle was using Olaplex so they stopped using it, and no surprise the hair fall reduced to normal levels. So our obvious conclusion was Olaplex had some chemical that was contributing to their hairfall. So if you're using this, watch out and return it within the window.
Thank you! This is an OG for me. A small bit goes a long way as the shampoo lathers up very easily.
I'm a bit uncertain about authenticity. I usually wait until Sephora has a 20% off sale than stock, but I'm going to get a couple and compare. Thanks OP! Repped!
Ok, thanks, is this the only thing she needs? I see they sell many different "hair repair" products.
It is AMAZING and you use way less, it's absolutely worth the regular price, and half off is an incredible buy. I'd get her the #3 also to complete the "set", everything else is just a bonus. If she loves it (she will) the you've got a gift idea for life lol
oh jesus, i'm sorry i asked! My daughter is also 12 and a competitive swimmer so she's always looking for hair products. I'll take a look at what you suggested. I'll also look into a 2nd mortgage!
If she swims in pools (I assume she does) look into clarifying shampoos as well
