Entrepreneur Lynda Truong and pharmacist Paul Tran put the L and P in Love & Pebble.
Penguins actually inspired the name.
Their skincare business is Tran’s pebble to Truong.
The husband and wife duo started the company from Truong’s frozen banana skincare hack.
It’s a fusion of cryotherapy and face masks said to decrease puffiness while tightening and brightening the skin.
The candy-like skincare product was an instant hit on social media.
It went viral on TikTok with videos of Truong’s mom’s before and after using the product.
However, the Sharks weren’t impressed by the views.
They wanted a business that was fit for an investor, and none of them were biting.
The freezable mask popsicles are made from all-natural ingredients: bananas, aloe vera, papaya, and turmeric.
Despite the product being a hit on TikTok, it wasn’t so popular in the tank.
One by one, the Sharks went out.
Tran and Troung left the “Shark Tank” carpet hand in hand, ending with ateary confessional.
And it’s a good thing they did.
Their warehouse was backed up, and it was impossible for them to fulfill the shipments.
That fumble cost them $50,000, but Paul Tran and Lynda Truong never gave up.
But the couple’s persistence paid off.
The skincare brand is now a seven-figure company.
Even with the millions they rake in, the company is staying true to its original mission.
Love & Pebble products have no synthetic fragrances or dyes, and are cruelty-free with sustainable packaging.
So it’s a product it’s possible for you to feel good buying and using.
The Sharks missed out on this one!
