The awards and the previous edition
Kolmar Korea has obtained three Innovation Awards ahead of CES 2027 thanks to two AI-powered beauty devices, according to The Korea Herald. The ChromaFlow system received the Best of Innovation Award in the beauty tech category and an Innovation Award in the artificial intelligence category; the LumiJet Pro skincare device in turn received an Innovation Award in the AI category.
The result marks the second consecutive year in which the company has won the top recognition in the beauty tech category. At CES 2026, the source recalls, the Scar Beauty Device was awarded the same title, an AI-based device designed for scar care and makeup coverage.
How the two devices work
According to the description provided, ChromaFlow uses AI-based sensors to analyze the user's lips and determine a customized color based on natural tone. The system then mixes pigments from seven colored cartridges according to an AI-generated formula, producing a customized lip product in about one minute.
LumiJet Pro, by contrast, analyzes skin condition and thickness to deliver skincare ingredients. The technology called NanoJet sprays ultrafine particles containing active ingredients onto the skin, while the point-to-field technology uses specific light wavelengths to break down the particles and promote their dispersion. Kolmar Korea also developed the nanoparticle formulation used in the device.
The data platform and statements
In addition to the individual devices, the company plans to build a beauty tech data platform based on skin and color information collected through ChromaFlow, the Scar Beauty Device and Caiome, an AI-based scalp analysis system. The stated goal is to connect skin analysis, customized cosmetic formulation and production, thereby expanding data-based beauty services.
A Kolmar Korea official said, as reported by the source, that the second consecutive Best of Innovation recognizes data-driven manufacturing technology that links the entire cosmetics production process through AI, and that the company will continue to develop its beauty tech platform by leveraging accumulated data.
The two devices will be presented at CES 2027, scheduled for January 6–9 at the Venetian Expo in Las Vegas. How the devices will be commercialized and the launch timeline for the data platform remain to be verified, as the material provides no information on them.
