Lanin Labs
2nd place: Second place this month goes to Lanin Labs with its appearance on "The Lion's Den." The Munich-based startup focuses on inclusive skin care and has developed a skincare serum that specializes in melanin-rich skin. Melanin is the biological pigment that, among other things, determines skin color. Simply put: the more melanin, the darker the skin type. Darker skin types have the advantage of aging much more slowly. At the same time, however, the skin has a harder time absorbing moisture and active ingredients in the lower layers of the skin, which often leads to dryness and blemishes. Founder Azuka Stekovics offered 30 percent of her company shares in the Lion's Den for 130,000 euros. The Lions were impressed by the idea but had some criticism of the execution. Did a deal come about? (Photo: RTL / Stefan Gregorowius)
