What Happened to Skin After Dragons’ Den?

Skin appeared on Dragons’ Den in 2024, Series 21 Episode 12. The business was a price comparison app for skin products. They secured investment from Sara Davies on the show. The business is still active today.

The Pitch

Flinty Bane and Ben Barter walked into the Den in 2024 with a price comparison app for skin products. They were asking for £50,000 in exchange for 10% 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. Sara Davies offered £50,000 for 10%, and Flinty Bane and Ben Barter 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

Skin is one of those Den stories that actually lasted. The company has now been trading for around 2 years since the pitch.

Is Skin Still in Business?

Yes. Skin appears to still be trading.
