Three awards ahead of CES 2027
The awards were announced on November 11, 2026, ahead of CES 2027, which is scheduled to take place in Las Vegas from January 6 to 9, 2027. Kolmar Korea said the company won three awards in total.
ChromaFlow received the Best of Innovation award in the Beauty Tech category and an Innovation Award in the Artificial Intelligence category. LumiJet Pro, an AI based skincare device, also received an Innovation Award in the Artificial Intelligence category.
Best of Innovation is the highest distinction at CES and is reserved for products that receive the highest scores across all evaluation criteria, according to the announcement. The Beauty Tech category was introduced in 2025. Samsung Electronics was its first winner, while Kolmar Korea became the first cosmetics company to receive the award in 2026.
ChromaFlow creates customized lip shades
ChromaFlow uses an AI enabled optical sensor to analyze a user’s natural lip color and condition. After the device is placed against the lips, the system mixes ingredients from seven color cartridges to produce a customized lip product in less than one minute.
Kolmar Korea says the system is designed to reproduce a desired shade, including colors seen on screen from content creators. Its algorithms account for individual base lip and skin tones, calculating the ingredient proportions needed to create the target shade.
The company says traditional lip cosmetics can produce different results from person to person because natural lip and skin tones vary. ChromaFlow is housed in a lipstick shaped casing with a semi transparent central section that allows users to see the colors being mixed in real time.
LumiJet Pro targets specific skin concerns
LumiJet Pro is designed for skin concerns including blemishes and discoloration. It uses AI to assess skin condition and measure skin thickness before applying active ingredients to selected areas and depths.
The device uses Kolmar Korea’s NanoJet technology to spray ultrafine particles containing active ingredients at high speed. Light at specified wavelengths is then applied, causing the particles beneath the skin’s surface to break down. This allows the ingredients to spread around the original application site, a mechanism the company calls Point to Field.
A single ergonomic head combines a skin parameter sensor, spray module and light module. Kolmar Korea also developed the specialized nanoparticle formulation used by the device, expanding the company’s research and development capabilities into AI based skincare devices.
Kolmar Korea plans an integrated beauty data platform
Kolmar Korea plans to build a comprehensive data platform for cosmetic technologies. The company intends to use skin and color data gathered from CAIOME, its AI scalp diagnostic solution, as well as from Scar Beauty Device and ChromaFlow.
Its stated goal is to connect specialized AI models into one ecosystem covering skin diagnosis, personalized formulation development and precision production. Kolmar Korea will present ChromaFlow and LumiJet Pro at Venetian Expo during CES 2027, giving the company an opportunity to demonstrate the technologies behind its consecutive Beauty Tech awards.
