A legal battle between skincare company Nerium and its co-founder Dennis Windsor has quietly ended with a permanent injunction barring him from using the company's trade secrets.

The settlement, finalized on August 19th, came through an agreed injunction filed jointly by both parties on August 16th. The court approved the arrangement without fanfare, marking the resolution of counterclaims Nerium (now operating as Neora) had brought against Windsor.

Under the injunction, Windsor cannot disclose or use any confidential information belonging to Nerium that hasn't been made public. He must also destroy any copies of the company's confidential materials in his possession. These two provisions form the core of the agreement, with all other claims in the case dismissed with prejudice—meaning they cannot be refiled.

News of the settlement first surfaced in May, though the final court approval took several more months to secure.

The dispute traces back to 2016, when Windsor sued Nerium for $22 million. That original lawsuit appears to still be moving through the courts separately from this settlement. The counterclaims that led to the recent injunction were Nerium's response to Windsor's initial complaint.

The injunction represents a strategic end to at least part of the prolonged legal conflict between the co-founder and the company he helped build. By agreeing to restrict his access to company secrets rather than continuing costly litigation over the counterclaims, both sides appear to have chosen an exit ramp from an expensive fight.
