Alaska Glacial Mud Shark Tank Update: After Shark Tank, what happened to Alaska Glacial Mud Company? Earlier than on Shark Tank, the Alaska Glacial Mud Company, Lauren Padawer has gone a long way. The Alaska Glacial Mud Company’s Founder, Lauren, is seeking $100,000 in exchange for a 20 percent stake in the company at Shark Tank.
In Shark Tank, an Alaskan glacial mud company:
As a commercial fisherman, Lauren knows that Alaska is already renowned for its wild salmon because she has worked there. She dreams of the day when Alaska’s luscious, nutrient-rich glacial mud would be as well-known. Camping on the Copper River was the inspiration for the Alaska Glacial Mud Company. Lauren’s feet immediately sank into the buttery mud as soon as she stepped in. Her face and body were covered in the wildest spa in the world because of the mind-boggling experience. Her skin felt supple and radiant as she washed it all off. Lauren can assist introduce Alaska mud to the beauty market and supply it all over the world with the help of the Sharks in the ocean. Barbara inquires as to whether Lauren is the first person to find the health benefits of this mud, which is the most apparent query.
There are no other Alaskan mud products on the market to Lauren’s knowledge; she then promotes Alaska Glacial Mud Company’s products to the Sharks. Because of this process of refinement and quality control, does Lauren’s mud contain any bear excretion (poop)? Kevin demands an answer from Lauren. When Lauren gets her hands on the mud, she guarantees that it is the purest in the world and originates from one of the world’s most pristine wild rivers. She even wants Kevin, the famous Mr. Wonderful, to come up so she can give him an Alaskan Mud facial. In spite of Kevin’s protests, Lauren is adamant that the mud is absolutely pure. Kevin walks forward, and Lauren begins to brush the facial over Mr. Wonderful’s worn visage.
Lori, a Beauty Product Specialist
Lori, a beauty product specialist, inquired as to how long Kevin would have to wear the facial mask before deciding to give it a try. The microfine clay particles help to draw out flaws and damaged skin cells from the skin, resulting in a clearer complexion. They remove dead skin cells and poisons from the body. The Sharks taunt Kevin for his new appearance, likening him to a golem or a mud demon, as Lauren continues to describe the specifics of Alaskan Glacial Mud to Kevin’s amusement. Copper River Salmon, a symbol of the river’s pristine nature, is a monument to its origins as a source of much of the mud. As a result of this, the Copper River’s taste is extremely crisp and fresh and all of its inhabitants can thrive in their natural habitat.
In response to Robert’s inquiry about Alaska Glacial Mud Company’s sales, including the methods used to sell its products, Lauren reports that the company has only made $36,000 in sales so far this year, which naturally alarms all the Sharks. Her products are sold at spas and around the world, and she does not have a storefront of her own. Lori inquires if she intends to target spas, to which Lauren responds that she intends to target spas but that there are many things that people purchase for their own use, in part because of the weak economic conditions. In order to manufacture one jar, it takes roughly three dollars to make one jar worth $34. Lori admits to the Sharks that despite the impressive profit margin, it can be difficult to break into the spa goods industry owing to the limited number of products that spas will consistently offer and recommend.
There are hundreds of individuals who want to get in, but only a handful can get in, and Lori is out of the deal first because of this and because of her past experiences. Kevin is the last remaining Shark, and his mask is starting to take hold of his face. In Kevin’s opinion, the most obvious difficulty is that anyone can go dig mud out of the Copper River and sell it himself, which none of the other Sharks have mentioned. Kevin wants to know if Lauren believes it’s true that she’s subsidizing her thriving fishing business with a failing one and backing an otherwise disastrous enterprise. Kevin claims that it is more of a pastime than a business because there is so little profit to be made. Kevin makes a joke about getting mud on his face, but he doesn’t say anything else since he doesn’t want to disappoint you.
Now in 2018: Alaska Glacial Mud Company
There is no surprise that the Alaska Glacial Mud Company is still in business in 2016. Alaska Glacial Mud Company appears to be doing fairly well, as seen by the fact that they have added to their product line since their Shark Tank debut in 2013, however, I was unable to locate any sales figures. Alaska Glacial Mud Company is still relevant in the natural beauty market, with reviews dating back to November 13, 2015.
Mineral mud from Alaska’s Copper River Delta is used in Alaska Glacial Mud Co.’s all-natural facial masks. In 2014, Lauren Padawer, a professional fisherman and boat captain from Alaska, appeared on Shark Tank to sell her skincare firm, Alaska Glacial Mud Co. She entered the Tank hoping to receive a $100,000 investment in exchange for a 20% stake in the company. Her “glacial facial” for Kevin O’Leary was noteworthy, but none of the Sharks offered to invest.

There was an argument on Shark Tank about whether Padawer should focus on selling to spas rather than going retail, and if she should continue to brand the product as Alaskan. Padawer was advised by Mark Cuban to rename the company Copper River Mud Company. Nardos, an all-natural hair-and-skin product that Barbara Corcoran has worked with, has taught her that it’s tough to be both retail and spa.

Padawer does not appear to have heeded the recommendations of either Cuban or Corcoran. She’s updated the Alaska Glacial Mud Co. website and packaging, but the brand name remains the same. She still sells to spas and works with e-commerce sites like Musely. Mineral mud masques, soap bars, and face sponges are just a few of the new additions to the company’s growing product line. Amazon has a list of 27 of the most popular “Shark Tank” products.
