Amanda Baldwin

Separately, Olaplex has a new chief executive.

Global Cosmetics News reports that Henkel has appointed Christoph Kahl to lead the brand, succeeding Amanda Baldwin.

That report ties the change to Henkel's $1.4 billion acquisition of the Prestige hair care brand earlier this year, and it carries no start date, remit, or structural detail.

The appointment is the first concrete signal salon distributors and retail buyers get about how Henkel intends to run a prestige hair brand inside its portfolio.

Today is Tuesday, September 22nd, and we begin with a change at the top of Olaplex, reported by Cosmetics Business.

Cosmetics Business reports that Olaplex has named Christoph Kahl chief executive, succeeding Amanda Baldwin, who had led the professional haircare brand since 2023.

Per that account, Call's remit is innovation.

He arrives from Henkel, where he spent more than 13 years, most recently as regional head of strategy and transformation in the United States, and before that spent more than five years at L'Oréal.
