If you needed proof of health and beauty's influence on the business mainstage, you could start by looking to Dragon's Den. Over the last few years, the BBC's hit show for budding entrepreneurs and small businesses looking for a life-changing investment has proved itself to be a melting pot for up and coming, often niche, brands ready to hit the mainstream.
Thursday night's episode of Dragon's Den was no different, with not one but two brands rooted in the health and beauty sector making bold pitches. 29-year-old Peony Li's pitch for £100,000 in exchange for 1% in her bladder care company,, 'a price comparison app that helps people save money on their favourite beauty products and connects them to a wider community of beauty enthusiasts,' the founders explain during their pitch.
Flinty Bane and Ben Barter pitched for a £50,000 investment in return for a 5% share in their business, and successfully secured an offer from Sara Davies. Last night's episode was proof that the precious, feel-good sector has outgrown its outdated image of being a frill or added extra.
