Fiona Co Chan hopes to make up a deal for Youthforia, her viral brand of skin care based make up, in Shark Tank episode 1416. Chan launched the line in January, 2020 and grew it to profitability in just 9 months – during a global pandemic! When she attended Dartmouth College, she had a habit of falling asleep in her make up, which can be bad for your skin. The problem was further exacerbated when she was working for a software developer in some of China’s most polluted cities. When she fell asleep in her make up over there, her skin became very irritated.
She had the idea to create make up that was also good for your skin – so good you can sleep in it. Her products are all plant-based and contain no petroleum products. It’s make up that works like skin care. One of her best sellers is her color changing blush oil. It reacts to your skin’s natural pH to give you the perfect shade of natural blush. Fiona actually slept in this for two months and her skin improved drastically. In addition to the blush oil, she also sells lip gloss and primer. All her products are good for your skin.
The name Youthforia was penned by her husband (he also helped her test products by sleeping in them). It’s a play on words of “youth” and “euphoria.” The couple was euphoric about their meteoric rise. The company videos go viral regularly on Tik Tok and her videos have over 50 million views. The products are available on the company website, all 488 Ulta stores nationwide and on Amazon. The company has zero debt and she’s likely looking for a Shark to help expand her team and fuel the next growth stages.

A good business plan, good financials, and sales data will impress the Sharks, but she’ll need to show them SHE is capable of running the company to “Shark standards.” A full pitch re-cap on Youthforia will be available on Shark Tank Blog once this episode airs.
