On October 6, 2025, the Superior Court of Quebec authorized a class action solely for settlement purposes against Olaplex Inc., Olaplex Holdings Inc., and Sephora Beauty Canada Inc. (collectively, the “Defendants”) in connection with the sale of the former formula of Olaplex’s No. 3 Hair Repair Perfector containing a specific ingredient, butylphenyl methylpropional.
A settlement agreement, without admission of liability by the Defendants, was reached between the parties, subject to approval by the Superior Court on November 25, 2025.
Criteria to respect
- You purchased at least one (1) bottle of Olaplex’s No 3 Hair Repair Perfector;
- From the Defendants;
- Between March 1, 2019, and August 31, 2022;
- By providing a billing address in the province of Quebec at the time of that purchase.
What does the settlement agreement provide for?
If the settlement agreement is approved, the Defendants will offer each member of the affected group a choice between two forms of compensation:
1. A free product: A 100 ml bottle of Olaplex No. 3 Hair Repair Perfector shipped to their last known home address;
This is the default form.
Members may update their residential address using the Product Distribution Form (Schedule E).
OR
2. A $20.00 Interac e-transfer.
Members who wish to receive a wire transfer will need to complete the E-Transfer Distribution Form (Schedule F).
→ Please do not fill out any forms at this stage, as the settlement agreement is still subject to court approval.
In addition to the compensation, the Defendants have agreed to pay the settlement costs, including the attorneys’ fees and disbursements of the class (C$255,000 plus taxes and subject to court approval), as well as the settlement administration costs. These amounts are paid in addition to and separately from the compensation offered to class members.

The settlement agreement approval hearing will take place on November 25, 2025, at 9:30 a.m. in Room 2.08 of the Montreal Courthouse (1 Notre-Dame Street East, Montreal, Quebec H2Y 1B6).
