Dragons’ Den Tracker

The Pitch

Raphael Babalola and Adam Hutchinson walked into the Den in 2023 with a skincare products for men with dark skin. 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. Steven Bartlett offered £50,000 for 10%, and Raphael Babalola and Adam Hutchinson 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

Temple Wellness did not survive long-term. The company was dissolved in 2025, only 2 years after the Den appearance.

This is not an unusual outcome. The majority of businesses that appear on Dragons’ Den, deal or no deal, don’t make it in the long run. The show can provide a platform and capital, but it can’t substitute for a sustainable business model.

Is Temple Wellness Still in Business?

No. Temple Wellness is no longer in business. Companies House records show the company has been dissolved.
