Dragons’ Den TrackerWhat Happened to Kokoso Skin Limited After Dragons’ Den?
Kokoso Skin Limited appeared on Dragons’ Den in 2016, Series 14 Episode 6. The business was a organic coconut oil for baby skincare. They secured investment from Touker Suleyman on the show. The business is still active today.
The Pitch
Lauren and Mark Taylor walked into the Den in 2016 with a organic coconut oil for baby skincare. They were asking for £50,000 in exchange for 30% 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. Touker Suleyman offered £50,000 for 30% (25% once initial investment is repaid), and Lauren and Mark Taylor 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
Kokoso Skin Limited 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 Kokoso Skin Limited Still in Business?
Yes. Kokoso Skin Limited appears to still be trading. Companies House records confirm the business is currently active.
