Cosmax CES 2026 Beauty Tech Award Winner 'Maxspace'. Provided by Cosmax
Global cosmetics ODM company Cosmax announced on the 6th that it has won the Innovation Award in the Beauty Tech category at the world's largest consumer electronics exhibition, 'CES 2026 (Consumer Electronics Show 2026)', with its customized multi-device.
This marks the second award following the CES 2023 Innovation Award for the customized palette device 'Colorjam', jointly developed with Prinker Korea. A Cosmax representative stated, "This award once again proves our position as a global tech innovation company beyond the beauty industry."
The award-winning 'Maxspace' is an all-in-one customized device capable of producing everything from skincare products to foundation and liquid lip in a single device. It was developed in collaboration with Professor Kim Ho-young of the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Seoul National University. This was conducted as part of a joint research project with the SNU-COSMAX TIC (Technology Incubation Center), established by Cosmax and Seoul National University for the development of next-generation beauty and health technologies.
Unlike existing devices limited to a single formulation, Maxspace allows for various physical properties and color combinations. It can manufacture only the necessary amount immediately, reducing unnecessary production and inventory, and minimizing packaging and waste. It reduces environmental impact while maintaining consistent quality through automated processes. Cosmax plans to utilize it in pop-up stores and experiential shops through its clients.
A Cosmax representative stated, "In line with the era of customized cosmetics, we have developed new devices to enhance consumer familiarity and design differentiated experiences for each client," adding, "We will open the era of future customized cosmetics that also consider sustainability through technological innovation."
