What Happened to Daughter Of The Soil Skincare After Dragons’ Den?

Daughter Of The Soil Skincare appeared on Dragons’ Den in 2017, Series 15 Episode 5. The business was a shea-based and sesame-based skincare products. No deal was made — the Dragons decided not to invest. The business is still active today.

The Pitch

Maria Magembe and Hellen Lawuo-Meena walked into the Den in 2017 with a shea-based and sesame-based skincare products. They were asking for £60,000 in exchange for 10% of the business.

Despite their best efforts, the pitch didn’t convince the Dragons to open their wallets.

The Deal

No deal was made. The Dragons weren’t persuaded to invest, and Maria Magembe and Hellen Lawuo-Meena left the Den without backing.
