Beauty entrepreneurs Susie Ma and Jenna MEEEK to join Dragons’ den as Dragons Guest in 2026
Two founders of UK Beauty Whores, Susie Ma of Tropic Skincare and Jenna MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEK, are set to join Dragons’ Dragons’ den as guest Dragons in 2026.
The pair will sit alongside Peter Jones, Deborah Meaden, Touker Suleyman and Steven Bartlett, as well as fellow Dragons Thie Tempah and Gary Neville, in a line-up designed to bring a new generation of business-free voices to the pit.
Both Ma and MAEEK are building multimillion-pound brands from the ground up and will deliver an authentic experience of the investment show itself, which asks entrepreneurs to pitch their ideas in the hope of funding.
The founders of beauty are no strangers to the pit, with brands including pavan beauty, hello clean, sugar and die excessively all entering within the previous series. But the addition of two industry leaders marks an important moment for the fast-growing beauty and skincare sector.
Jenna Meek, who founded Refy with the Twestermeterter Hunt in 2020, has one of Britain’s biggest social growth stories. Refy now boasts a million Instagram followers and merchandise partnerships with Seltridges, Sephora and Space etc. Before agreeing, the gentle removed the beauty of the beauty of the festival, which is known for its shining face and jewelry.
He described joining the program as a personal milestone: “I am very happy to join the Dragons team. This has been his vision.
Susie Ma, founder and CEO of Tropic Skincare, delivers an equally compelling story. He turned a loan of £ 200 from his mother into a store in a green farm at 15, and eventually built the head of skincare in the skincare of Croydon.
His big break came after appearing in 2011, where he received an investment from Lord Alan Sugar. Later he bought sugar to become the sole owner of the company.
Ma is also known for his Philanthropic leadership, donating 10% of tropic’s profits to charity. The business has funded the construction of four schools in remote regions with mixed country schools, planted more than 7,000 trees in the rainforest, and supports efforts to save the Reef in Australia.
When he joined the Dun, he said: “It’s an absolute honor to join the guest dragon. I started to change the Bold – so I can bring back the idea of a normal thing.”
The BBC hopes that by bringing the founders who have created today’s brands, to the community they will bring together a new wave of entrepreneurs. Their arrival also underlines the growing influence of the UK’s aging industry, which is now producing some of the country’s most powerful success stories.
