MaXpace is a CES 2026 Innovation Awards Honoree in Beauty Tech, developed to enable beauty brands to instantly design and deliver personalized cosmetics at the point of experience. This beauty-tech innovation uses modular, swappable cartridge boards and precise dispensing to instantly create skincare, foundation, and lip products on a single platform.
Consumers want truly customized skincare and color cosmetics, yet they are commonly limited by generic shades and preset formulas that miss the mark in tone, texture or finish. Powered by the ShadeXense algorithm and a patent-pending formulation structure, MaXpace generates optimal formulas while allowing brands to customize ingredients for efficient, waste-reducing, brand-aligned experiences. Notably, this advanced automated device also considers skin data, ensuring tailored formulas are aligned with real, in-the-moment needs and goals for transformative results and happy customers.
