Brand Endurance Strategy, featuring Olaplex CEO Amanda Baldwin
Episode 93
Tuesday, 17 February, 2026
Bringing novel ingredient science to the consumer market is an opportunity, a challenge, and a risk. Turning that innovation into a brand that changes beauty consumer expectations and impacts an entire product category is an even greater undertaking. This week on the CosmoFactory podcast, we consider how ground-breaking brands can grow even after the hero innovation is normalized in the marketplace. Our guest is Amanda Baldwin, CEO of Olaplex, the hair care brand responsible for disulfide bond-repair technology. Founded in 2014, the US-based brand is popular with professional stylists and consumers alike. Baldwin previously served as CEO of Super Goop!, a brand credited with helping shifting consumer behavior toward daily SPF protection.
