Ki Labs is a Spanish AI-powered personalized cosmetics company that analyzes a user's skin from a single smartphone photo plus a short questionnaire and generates a bespoke skincare formula or product routine; its model is trained on roughly 3M data points and 70,000 images. Originally launched direct-to-consumer in June 2024, it has shifted toward a B2B SaaS product sold to dermocosmetic laboratories, pharmacies, perfumeries, aesthetic centres and marketplaces, and closed a ~€320K seed round backed by business angels, Instituto Español and ENISA. It is headquartered in Seville.
