Additionally, they also tote that their oil can help promote hair growth. Then, during their pitch, they give the sharks a box of their products, and all agree that they look and feel great.
Yve-Car explains their previous earnings for Kreyol Essence, including the $1 million in revenue they earned in 2018. Further, they’ve pivoted towards direct-to-consumer sales, and they’ve also just signed a deal with ULTA beauty, which is one of the largest beauty companies in the US.
Despite the company’s high sales, Barbara Corcoran is the first shark to drop out, because the business is too dependent on Yve-Car herself. Likewise, without the remarkable salesmanship Yve-Car brings to the table, she doesn’t think it’s scalable.

Lori Greiner is next, and she says that because the product doesn’t have clinical trials for hair growth and other aspects, she is out because of the risk.

Stephane gets emotional, but even this doesn’t sway Kevin. They eventually counter with a royalty offer, which immediately piques Kevin’s interest.
They ultimately offer $400,000 in exchange for $0.15 per unit royalty, in perpetuity. Eventually, Kevin counters, raising the royalty to $0.25 and 5% equity.
