The South Korean cosmetics maker Kolmar Korea received CES 2027’s top beauty technology honor for ChromaFlow, a custom lip-color system, in a three-award showing, The Korea Herald reported Nov. 10.

ChromaFlow also received an Innovation Award in artificial intelligence, and the company’s LumiJet Pro skin-care device earned the same AI honor. The awards bring Kolmar Korea’s total to three at CES 2027.

Kolmar says ChromaFlow uses AI sensors to read a user’s natural lip tone, then generates a color recipe for the device to follow. It combines pigments from seven cartridges to make the custom lip product in roughly 60 seconds.

The company describes LumiJet Pro as a device that assesses skin condition and thickness before applying active ingredients. NanoJet puts ultrafine particles containing active ingredients on the skin; point-to-field uses selected light wavelengths to break them down and aid their dispersion. Kolmar also developed the nanoparticle formulation used in LumiJet Pro.

Kolmar plans to develop a beauty-tech data platform drawing on skin and color information from ChromaFlow, its Scar Beauty Device and Caiome, an AI-based scalp-analysis system. The planned service would use those records to bring skin assessment together with custom cosmetics design and production. A Kolmar official said the award recognized the company’s “data-driven manufacturing technology” and its effort to connect cosmetics production through AI. The official said the company would use its growing store of information to keep advancing the platform.

The Scar Beauty Device received the same Best of Innovation Award in beauty tech at CES 2026, marking Kolmar Korea’s second consecutive year with the category honor. The earlier device was designed for scar care and makeup coverage, according to the company.

Kolmar plans to show both products at the Venetian Expo in Las Vegas during the Jan. 6-9 CES 2027 event.
