Glow Recipe Beauty Line Update | Shark Tank Season 7

Sarah Lee and Christine Chang worked in the beauty industry and kept hearing the same complaints. People in the U.S. wanted Korean skincare but had no easy way to find trusted products. To fix this, they started Glow Recipe, a store that carefully selects and tests the best Korean beauty products before selling them. This makes it simple for customers to get high-quality skincare that actually works. Will the sharks get behind their business? Let’s find out in our Glow Recipe update and pitch recap.

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

Sarah and Christine entered Shark Tank Season 7, seeking $425,000 for 10% equity in their Korean beauty and skincare products. After their pitch, they made a sweet deal with Robert Herjavec for $425,000 for 25% equity.

In terms of a Glow Recipe update, the company explored a potential sale valued between $400 million and $500 million but ultimately decided the timing wasn’t right. Furthermore, the brand has continued innovating and launching new products.

Shark Tank Glow Recipe Pitch

• Entrepreneurs: Sarah Lee and Christine Chang
• Business: Korean beauty and skincare products
• Ask: $425,000 for 10% equity
• Result: $425,000 for 25% equity
• Shark: Robert Herjavec

Sarah and Christine stepped into Shark Tank to pitch their curated skincare brand.

With Glow Recipe, they’ve curated the best K-beauty products, but they need an investment to expand their digital reach and scale operations.

They want to bring the best of Korean beauty to people everywhere, believing Korea is the heart of skincare.

The ladies explain that K-beauty is growing fast in the U.S., and they pass out samples to the sharks.

Glow Recipe is a skincare brand that finds and sells high-quality Korean beauty products.

Instead of making its own products, it carefully selects the best ones from different brands, making sure they are safe and effective.

Every product goes through a detailed testing process, where it is tried on different skin types for three months to see how well it works. This way, only the best products make it to their store.

The entrepreneurs offer a variety of skincare products, including cleansers, toners, serums, moisturizers, face masks, and sunscreens.

These products are made to help keep skin healthy, hydrated, and glowing. Whether someone wants to reduce dryness, brighten their skin, or prevent breakouts, there are options for different needs.

Robert Herjavec reacts, saying it feels strange, both creamy and rubbery at the same time.

They also introduce a sea-kelp facial mask, showing how their brand focuses on natural ingredients.

Kevin O’Leary questions their business model, saying they’re just distributors. They explain that they don’t just sell products, they carefully choose and test each one before adding it to their collection.

They project $1 million in sales for 2015 and say they share revenue with the brands they work with, helping small beauty companies grow.

To reach more people, they’ve started a YouTube channel, but with only 1,000 subscribers and 250,000 views, they’re still building their audience.

Mr. Wonderful asks why big retailers aren’t dominating the space, and they admit some are trying. However, they say they also work as consultants for these retailers, helping them understand Korean beauty.

Lori Greiner argues that anyone can sell beauty products, but Mark Cuban pushes back, saying not everyone can do it successfully.

Barbara Corcoran isn’t completely sure about their numbers but still makes an offer of $425,000 for 40% equity.

Mr. Wonderful follows with $425,000 for 50% equity. Robert offers $425,000 for 30% equity, which he later revised to 25%, saying he believes in them.

Meanwhile, Lori decides the market is too crowded and backs out. Mark Cuban says they haven’t done enough online to stand out.

Mr. Wonderful asks how much equity they’re willing to give, but they want to hear Mark’s thoughts first.

Lori reminds them the offers won’t last forever. Mark decides to step away, unsure of their potential.

They counter Robert with $425,000 for 18% equity, but he stands firm at 25%. After some back and forth, they accept Robert’s offer.

Let’s find out in our Glow Recipe update how things panned out for the entrepreneurs and Robert.

Shark Tank Glow Recipe Update

Our Glow Recipe update found that the deal with Robert Herjavec did not materialize.

Despite this, Glow Recipe thrived. In 2021, the company achieved over $100 million in sales, driven by the popularity of products like the Watermelon Glow Sleeping Mask.

In 2022, reports indicated that the company was exploring a sale that could value it between $400 million and $500 million, with annual revenue of around $80 million.

However, the founders later clarified that while they had exploratory discussions, they decided it wasn’t the right time for a sale.

They have introduced innovative items like the Watermelon Glow Niacinamide Dewy Flush, a skincare-based tint designed to provide a natural, dewy glow.

This product was launched exclusively on the Sephora app on February 9, 2025, and became available online on February 11, 2025.

In addition, Glow Recipe has achieved recognition for its commitment to sustainability.

Approximately ten months ago, the brand became one of the first to be certified as Planet Aware at Sephora.

Five months ago, Glow Recipe celebrated its 10th anniversary by introducing “Glow Hues,” a line that combines their clinically proven skincare formulas with sheer tints for instant radiance and lasting results.

We are thrilled to share a great Glow Recipe update.
