A milestone in our partnership with SKIN: their recent appearance on BBC's Dragons' Den.
A Journey of Innovation and Refinement
From the outset, SKIN's vision was clear: to create a user-friendly platform that simplifies the skincare shopping experience. In the initial phase of our collaboration, the app was designed with social media-style features to build a community within the beauty industry. The aim was to attract and engage users and create a sense of community around the application.
In phase 2, SKIN and Arch reevaluated the app's direction together. We streamlined the app's scope to prioritise its marketplace and shelf-oriented features, a more focused and user-centric approach. This lets users find deals and manage their skincare products efficiently.

SKIN featured on season 21 of the BBC1 TV series Dragons’ Den. Their pitch drew interest, with positive comments from all the Dragons, and Ben and Filnty secured a £50,000 investment from Sara Davies.
“I’m over the moon that we’re going to be working alongside Sara to grow our business. I believe SKIN is going to revolutionise the way we shop for beauty - with Sara’s backing, there’s no stopping us” - Flinty Bane, co-founder of SKIN
Investor Sara Davies added: “I love the simplicity of Flinty and Ben’s concept. Comparison sites and apps are the norm in so many other retail sectors, so why not beauty? I can’t wait to work with the duo to support and mentor them through the next exciting step, taking SKIN to consumers around the world.”
A Partnership Rooted in Innovation
Our longstanding relationship with SKIN has seen us work through various iterations of the app, refining its features and functionality to better serve users' needs.
Matthew O'Connor, Director of Growth at Arch, expressed his enthusiasm for SKIN's appearance Dragons' Den, "We're thrilled to see SKIN taking centre stage on national TV. The achievement is a highlight in our long-standing relationship with SKIN."
