What Happened to Grounded Body Scrub After Dragons’ Den?
Grounded Body Scrub appeared on Dragons’ Den in 2016, Series 13 Episode 12. The business was a coffee-based body scrub. They secured investment from Sarah Willingham on the show. The business is still active today.
The Pitch
Lloyd Haxell and Tasha Harris walked into the Den in 2016 with a coffee-based body scrub. They were asking for £30,000 in exchange for 45% of the business.
The pitch landed well enough in the Den that at least one Dragon decided to back it.
The Deal
A deal was struck on the show. Sarah Willingham offered £30,000 for 45%, and Lloyd Haxell and Tasha Harris accepted.
It’s worth noting that Dragons’ Den deals agreed on camera often go through further negotiation off-screen. Some complete as shown; others are renegotiated or never finalise at all. The company’s subsequent trading history is the clearest indicator of what actually happened.
What Happened After the Show
Grounded Body Scrub is one of those Den stories that actually lasted. Having appeared on the show back in 2016, the company has now been trading for well over a decade — an outcome that puts it ahead of the vast majority of startup ventures, let alone television pitches.
Is Grounded Body Scrub Still in Business?
Yes. Grounded Body Scrub appears to still be trading. Companies House records confirm the business is currently active.
