The Sao Paulo brand born on the internet turned skincare shoppers into co-creators - and a beauty blogger's audience into a company that raised roughly R$170 million.
lululab Inc. is a South Korean beauty-and-healthcare AI company spun off from Samsung Electronics' C-Lab incubator in 2017. Its Lumini platform uses deep-learning computer vision to analyze a person's facial skin across seven categories - wrinkles, pores, acne, sebum, melasma, redness, and oil/moisture balance - from a single photo in about ten seconds, then recommends tailored products and routines. Built on a database of more than five million skin data points with claimed accuracy above 90%, lululab sells AI kiosks (Lumini Kiosk), a home device (Lumini Home), and an embeddable mobile SDK (Lumini SDK) to retailers, clinics, and brands worldwide.
