Boo Boo Goo Update | Shark Tank Season 5

Kiowa Kavovit came up with the idea for Boo Boo Goo at just six years old, after telling her dad, Andrew Kavovit, that she hated wearing bandages because they were uncomfortable and made her cuts too noticeable. Together, they created a paint-on liquid bandage made from natural ingredients, with fun colours and skin tones to help kids heal without the hassle. Would the sharks back this father-daughter invention? Let’s find out in our Boo Boo Goo update and pitch recap.

If you’re short on time, here’s a quick overview of what happened to Boo Boo Goo after Shark Tank.

Kiowa and Andrew appeared on Shark Tank Season 5, seeking $100,000 for 17.5% equity in their paint-on liquid bandage for kids, Boo Boo Goo. After their pitch, they accepted a conditional deal from Kevin O’Leary, contingent on the product’s patent clearing.

In terms of a Boo Boo Goo update, the company initially expanded its product line and launched briefly, but ran into fulfillment issues and shut down in 2017. Now, after years of behind-the-scenes development, the brand has returned under a new name, Eco Bandage.

Shark Tank Boo Boo Goo Pitch

• Entrepreneurs: Andrew and Kiowa Kavovit
• Business: Paint-on liquid bandages for kids
• Ask: $100,000 in exchange for 17.5% equity
• Result: $100,000 in exchange for 25% equity
• Shark: Kevin O’Leary

Kiowa entered Shark Tank with her dad, Andrew, ready to pitch their colorful, paint-on liquid bandage for kids called Boo Boo Goo.

They opened strong, with a short video showing how the product works and why kids love it.

Kiowa did most of the talking at first, explaining that she created the idea when she was just six years old because she hated wearing band-aids.

Boo Boo Goo, she said, made cuts and scrapes easier to hide or turn into fun with its bright colors and skin-tone options.

They’d already developed the formula with help from three wound-care doctors, but the product was still in prototype stage, and the patent was pending.

Kiowa handed out samples to the sharks. Kevin O’Leary smiled and asked who her favorite shark was. Kiowa, with a cheeky grin, said she liked all of them. The room warmed up instantly.

Mark Cuban wanted to know what made Boo Boo Goo different. Andrew told him the product leaves behind a natural sealant that’s waterproof and safe for kids.

He also pointed out that traditional liquid bandages can be flammable and don’t hide wounds well.

Lori Greiner asked if the product was on QVC or being sold anywhere yet. Andrew said QVC had shown interest, but nothing had launched yet.

Lori said she loved Kiowa’s energy and thought the product was fun, but she couldn’t see it breaking through in a big way. She dropped out.

Barbara Corcoran questioned whether there was even a real need for the product.

She said kids love showing off their band-aids and didn’t see parents choosing paint over the usual strips. She bowed out.

Robert Herjavec thought it was too early to invest and stepped out, too.

Mark Cuban said they would need to spend too much time and money educating people on why to use Boo Boo Goo instead of a regular Band-Aid. He didn’t see the upside and was out.

Kevin said he liked the concept, but the pending patent made him nervous. Still, he saw potential, especially if they went the licensing route. He offered $100,000 for 25% equity, but only if the patent cleared.

Andrew and Kiowa paused for a moment, then Kiowa smiled and gave her dad the nod. They accepted Kevin’s offer.

The sharks applauded as the father-daughter duo walked out, with Kevin telling Kiowa she had what it takes to go far.

Shark Tank Boo Boo Goo Update

In terms of a Boo Boo Goo update, we caught up with Kiowa Kavovit to get the full story on what’s happened since the company’s early Shark Tank days, and where things stand now.

If you’ve been following along, you’ll remember Boo Boo Goo as the colorful, paint-on liquid bandage co-created by Andrew and his daughter Kiowa, who pitched the product on Shark Tank when she was just six years old.

They landed a deal with Kevin O’Leary, expanded the product line, and even teased a rollout back in 2015.

But things didn’t go as planned. The original product made it to market briefly, then ran into fulfillment issues and shut down in 2017.

At the time, we called it our final Boo Boo Goo update.

But as Kiowa told us in our interview, “we never stopped believing in the core idea — we just needed the time and space to do it right.”

After years of product development, regulatory hurdles, and formulation tweaks, the company has officially returned.

The brand is now called Eco Bandage, and the updated product was launched in March 2024.

“Boo Boo Goo was always meant to be a smarter alternative to traditional bandages,” Kiowa explained. “But now with Eco Bandage, we’ve taken that mission even further — it’s cleaner, more sustainable, and just as fun for kids.” 

Since the relaunch, Eco Bandage has been picking up real traction. It won Buyer’s Choice at the ECRM Health & Wellness Session in June 2024, hit shelves at Meijer in April 2025, and launched nationwide on Amazon in May 2025.

The deal with Kevin O’Leary ultimately didn’t go through, but Kiowa says the experience was still worth it.

“Kevin’s feedback gave us clarity. He helped us think more strategically about licensing and long-term growth.” 

He also credits the Shark Tank appearance for building their early audience. “Even though we weren’t ready to launch right away, that exposure helped create a loyal following. We had people rooting for us before we even had inventory.” 

Today, Eco Bandage is back in the market with a refined formula and growing sales.

The team is now focused on expanding their product line, reaching more retailers, and pushing the idea that wound care can be both effective and eco-conscious.

“We want Eco Bandage to be a household name,” Kiowa told us. “This is just the beginning.”

If we learn anything more, we will be back for another Boo Boo Goo update.
