  "account": "Kolmar Korea claimed the Best of Innovation Award in the beauty technology sector at this year's CES 2027, marking its second consecutive triumph. This achievement underscores the company's rapid ascent in the realm of artificial intelligence-driven beauty solutions. On November 10, Kolmar Korea was bestowed with the Best of Innovation Award within the Beauty Tech category and an additional Innovation Award in the Artificial Intelligence division for its Chroma Flow product. This device, scheduled to debut at CES 2027 in Las Vegas from January 6-9, is an AI-powered personalized lip device that customizes lip color based on influencer makeup or other reference hues. Upon placement against the user's lips, an AI optical sensor assesses the lip's color and blends seven color cartridges to fabricate a bespoke lip product within approximately one minute. Chroma Flow's AI takes into account individual lip tones, ensuring the end product appears uniformly appealing regardless of skin tone.\n\nThe beauty category was introduced three years ago, marking Kolmar Korea as the inaugural winner to secure this accolade in the category for two successive years. Komar Korea's LumiJet Pro skincare device also earned an Innovation Award in the Artificial Intelligence category. This device harnesses AI to evaluate skin conditions and thickness before administering ultrafine particles with active ingredients via NanoJet technology. This high-speed spraying technique enables precise delivery of ingredients to the correct skin depth. Additionally, it employs specific wavelengths of light to fragment particles within the skin and facilitate the distribution of active ingredients to adjacent areas. An ergonomic design has been integrated to enhance user convenience. Kolmar Korea intends to leverage the wealth of skin and color data gathered through technologies like its AI scalp diagnosis solution, Kaiom, to establish a comprehensive beauty tech data platform. The ultimate goal is to interconnect AI models from various domains into a unified system, delivering an integrated solution encompassing skin analysis, cosmetic formulation, and manufacturing. A Kolmar Korea spokesperson remarked, \"Securing the Best of Innovation Award for two consecutive years attests to the prowess of our data-driven manufacturing capabilities, which seamlessly link processes from measurement to manufacturing through AI. Our global recognition once again validates this approach.\" The spokesperson further stated, \"We will further refine our beauty tech platform using the data we've amassed and reinforce our position as a global leader in the beauty tech market.\"",
