The brand offers numerous products including nail polish, lipstick, mascara, , eyeshadow and blushers.
REMY merges comfort, science, and style to enhance your rest. Inspired by Abeer’s own challenges in high-pressure tech roles at companies such as Shopify, leading to burnout, and his wife Azka’s struggle with chronic insomnia, which resulted in her waking up 6-8 times every night without ever achieving deep sleep.
Abeer said: “Born in Pakistan, I had a globally nomadic upbringing, living in Japan, Saudi Arabia, the USA, Canada, Singapore, the UK, and Korea. This experience instilled in me the value of slowing down, being present, and appreciating calm moments—principles that are at the heart of REMY.”
On his Den experience, Abeer added: “Men don’t talk about anxiety much – especially in my culture and society. We need to provide for the family and keep our feelings to ourselves. Post Dragons Den was a very anxious and stressful time.
“I went into Dragons’ Den with very high expectations of myself. But it’s not all bad, the anxiety I experienced from the Den gave me a lightbulb moment and led me to create our most popular product yet – the Hugger pillow.”
Dragons’ Den continues Thursday nights at 8PM on BBC One. You can catch up with the TV show on BBC iPlayer.
The latest episode also featured a banker aiming to secure the Den’s support for her at-home manicure business.
Plus, a husband-and-wife team showcased their selection of pet beverages and a former teacher introduced his inclusive magazine designed to assist visually impaired children.
If you want to put your idea to the Dragons, applications to enter the den are open now.
