Kolmar Korea's AI lip maker wins top CES beauty award

Kolmar Korea has won three CES 2027 innovation awards for two AI-powered beauty devices, including a top honor for a system that creates personalized lip colors in about one minute.

The company's ChromaFlow received the Best of Innovation Award in the beauty tech category and an Innovation Award in the artificial intelligence category. Its skin care device, LumiJet Pro, also earned an Innovation Award in the AI category.

The recognition marks Kolmar Korea's second consecutive year of winning the top Beauty Tech award. At CES 2026, its AI-powered Scar Beauty Device, designed for scar care and makeup coverage, received the same honor.

ChromaFlow uses AI sensors to assess users' lips and determine a customized color based on their natural lip tone. The system then blends pigments from seven color cartridges according to an AI-generated formula, producing a personalized lip product in about one minute.

LumiJet Pro, meanwhile, analyzes skin condition and thickness to deliver skin care ingredients. Its NanoJet technology sprays ultrafine particles containing active ingredients onto the skin, while its point-to-field technology uses specific wavelengths of light to break down the particles and help disperse the ingredients. Kolmar Korea also developed the nanoparticle formulation used in the device.

Beyond individual devices, the company plans to build a beauty tech data platform using skin and color data collected through ChromaFlow, its Scar Beauty Device and Caiome, an AI-powered scalp analysis system.

The platform is intended to connect skin analysis, personalized cosmetic formulation and manufacturing, allowing Kolmar Korea to expand its data-driven beauty services.

"Winning the Best of Innovation Award for the second consecutive year recognizes our data-driven manufacturing technology, which connects the entire cosmetics production process through AI," a Kolmar Korea official said. "We will continue developing our beauty tech platform using accumulated data."

Kolmar Korea will showcase ChromaFlow and LumiJet Pro at CES 2027, scheduled for Jan. 6-9 at the Venetian Expo in Las Vegas.
