Dragon's Den investor Susie Ma founded the health and beauty brand Tropic Skincare.
Ma established Tropic Skincare as a natural beauty business offering skincare and cosmetic products. The company developed through direct selling as well as its wider beauty operation, building a network of independent ambassadors who promote and sell its products.
Ma appeared on Dragon's Den as an entrepreneur before later becoming an investor on the programme. Lord Alan Sugar invested in the company after her pitch, giving Tropic a connection to the show that is separate from Ma’s later role as a Dragon.
Tropic Skincare is sometimes mixed up with beauty companies founded by other television investors. The key identification is the founder: Susie Ma created Tropic, while Lord Sugar was the investor associated with its Dragon's Den deal.
