Five years after launching the prototype, Mink has rolled out the go-to-market iteration of its desktop 3D cosmetic printer.

Designed to be lightweight and compact, the printer—weighing 2.2 lbs. and measuring 8” x 6” x 4”—enables users to choose, control and create the exact makeup they want. The printer bundle features a single tri-color cartridge and the company’s proprietary makeup sheets. Ingredients are produced in accordance with FDA cosmetic rules; manufacturing processes follow FDA guidelines.

After printing, the makeup is immediately ready for application.
