You're In Business

Sahi Cosmetics is a verified niche beauty brand (Shark Tank Season 9) addressing a specific pain point for olive/yellow undertones. However, the submission contains significant exaggerations ('most people have used my product') and terminology errors ('marketcap' for revenue). While the product has real-world utility, the project lacks digital technical innovation and the submission quality is poor. The score reflects a verifiable small business with minimal digital traction signals relative to the evaluation scale.

Description

SAHI Cosmetics is one of the first companies to cater makeup for all olive and yellow undertoned skin. Women of Hispanic, Indian, Arabic, and Mediterranean decent find it difficult to match products with their complexions because most companies target caucasian skin tones. We believe in celebrating people from all walks of life which is why this specific line was developed to work for a largely ignored group of people.
