Conshohocken Entrepreneurs Pitch Product On 'Shark Tank'

LOWER MERION, PA -- A pair of Lower Merion natives and business owners had the chance to recently pitch their product on the hit TV show ”Shark Tank.”

Jess Edelstein, 27, and Sarah Ribner, 26 are the producers of PiperWai, an all-natural deodorant. According to their website:

It all started when Jess, Chief Maker (and PiperWai CEO), decided she’d had enough of the toxic stuff, the bad stuff, used in conventional deodorants. So she set off to make a pit potion like no other. One that wouldn’t burn. Wouldn’t make her stink. And one that used entirely natural ingredients in an entirely effective way.

After bunches of batches, she found a formula that worked. And this formula was put to task by her life-long best friend, Chief Tester (and PiperWai CFO), Sarah, on a trip to the sweatiest place of all – South America. It held up! Sweaty stink was no more. Sarah proclaimed, “We need to sell this because it will change people’s lives!” Thus, PiperWai was born.

From then on, PiperWai became more than just a product – it became a lifestyle. A force for good. A way to make a difference simply by making a choice. Because what you put on your body should work naturally.

The pair run a manufacturing plant in Conshohocken and launched their business 2015, according to 6 ABC.
