KOLMAR KOREA announced on the 10th that its “Chroma Flow” product, exhibited at CES 2027—to be held in Las Vegas, USA, from January 6 to 9 next year (local time)—received the Best Innovation Award in the BeautyTech category and the Innovation Award in the Artificial Intelligence category.
The Best Innovation Award is given annually only to products that receive the highest scores across all evaluation criteria among the Innovation Award winners. The Best Innovation Award in the Beauty Tech category was newly established last year. KOLMAR KOREA has been named a winner this year, following its win last year.
“Chroma Flow,” which received the Best Innovation Award, is an AI-powered, personalized lip DEVICE that replicates the lip color of an influencer on screen exactly on the user’s own lips. When the DEVICE is placed against the lips, its AI optical sensor analyzes the condition of the lips and combines seven color cartridges to create the desired lip product in under one minute. With conventional lip products, even when applying the same shade, the actual color appearance varies from person to person due to differences in natural lip color and skin tone. Chroma Flow overcomes this limitation with AI technology. The AI calculates the optimal mixing ratio to produce the desired color while taking the individual’s natural lip color into account, and uses this to create a customized lip product. Additionally, the center of the lipstick-shaped body is designed to be translucent, allowing users to visually observe the color-mixing process, thereby enhancing both the visual appeal and the overall design quality.
The skincare device “LumiJet Pro” also won the Innovation Award in the Artificial Intelligence category. This product is an AI-based skincare device that delivers active ingredients deep into the skin to address issues such as blemishes and hyperpigmentation. After the AI analyzes skin condition and thickness, it uses “NanoJet” technology—which sprays ultra-fine particles containing active ingredients at high speed—to deliver them to the necessary locations and depths within the skin. Additionally, the device incorporates “Point-to-Field” technology, whereby particles within the skin break down when exposed to light of a specific wavelength, causing the active ingredients to spread widely throughout the surrounding area. From a design perspective, the device features an ergonomic design that comfortably fits in the hand by integrating the skin measurement sensor, spray head, and light source module into a single head, thereby enhancing both technical sophistication and ease of use.

Last year at “CES 2026,” KOLMAR KOREA won the Best Innovation Award in the BeautyTech category for its “Scar Beauty Device.” This DEVICE enables both wound treatment and makeup coverage in just 10 minutes.
KOLMAR KOREA plans to build a beauty tech data platform based on skin and color data accumulated from products such as the Scar Beauty Device and Chroma Flow. The company envisions connecting AI models developed for various fields into a single system, expanding it into an integrated solution that spans from skin diagnosis to cosmetic formulation design and manufacturing. A KOLMAR KOREA official stated, “Winning the Best Innovation Award for two consecutive years is further recognition on the global stage of KOLMAR KOREA’s database-driven manufacturing technology, which connects the entire cosmetics process—from measurement to manufacturing—using AI,” adding, “We will further advance our beauty tech platform based on our accumulated data to lead the global beauty tech market.”
