Since their time on “Shark Tank,” Glow Recipe co-founders Sarah Lee and Christine Chang changed their mind about a business deal. Though the duo initially said yes to an offer from Robert Herjavec, in a 2018 CNBC article it was revealed that they ultimately “decided not to accept the investment,” and both parties “parted ways amicably.” Chang opened up about this choice in 2021, saying on the “Startup to Storefront” podcast, “They are incredible partners, and they would have been incredible partners regardless. But for our business at the time, it just wasn’t the right decision.”

In 2021, six years after Lee and Chang went on the hit reality show, Forbes wrote about the beauty brand’s triumphant year. Influencers such as Stephanie Valentine and Mikayla Nogueira had been using Glow Recipe products in viral TikTok videos, which Lee said “resulted in an overall halo effect across the brand.” The article noted that Glow Recipe scored $60 million in sales in 2020 and added that the brand was projected to earn $100 million in annual retail revenue by the close of 2021. The company has maintained their large following of customers and is still expanding.
