Transformative Technologies Offer Proprietary Customer Experiences
Imagine a process that harnesses personal consumer data, preferences and biometrics, and converts this into unique, dispensed products in real-time, micro-manufactured in-store. The opportunities afforded by the aforementioned are almost endless because RPG x IMX’s portfolio of 75+ patents allows for nearly every product category from personal care to home to ingestibles to be tailored to an individual’s needs. We call this Unicustomization℠.
As pioneers in Unicustomization℠, we are the thought leaders and implementers behind in-store personalization dispensing technologies, AI formulations and consumer experiences. We will take you on an innovative customer journey that will soon become the standard of the beauty and wellness industry.
"Our industry will be moving toward 'data-driven beauty' providing real-time analysis of custom formulations and purchases, and through AI, synthesizing this information into a hyper-personalized solution -- delivered in real-time before the customer's eyes."

“For me, inventing is the art of dreaming without limitation. The process drives us to learn more about what currently exists, and how to find new ways to break the status quo. It teaches us to want more for our world and inspires us to seek new ways to begin again.”

THE IMX STORY
A simple trip to the hardware store to custom-mix the "perfect paint color" led to the advent of IMX Cosmetics -- a seamless omni-channel experience: automated cosmetic customization providing clients with access and control to create their own products, whether in-store, digitally, remotely and/or at home. Founded in 2000, IMX Cosmetics is a pioneer beauty tech company with one of the largest and most diverse global patent portfolios to date for customization of cosmetics and toiletry products.

RPG x IMX is a beauty-tech partnership formed between RPG and IMX. RPG has been and continues to be recognized as a leader in innovative design for the beauty retail sector. Complementing RPG’s strengths, IMX has a long history of inventing, patenting, and testing disruptive beauty technologies, and continues to be a leading innovator. The RPG x IMX partnership is dedicated to realizing the full potential of the technology described within their portfolio of over 75 patents, and seeing an autonomous, consumer-centric and personalized beauty experience be brought to market.
With nearly two decades of ongoing research and development as well as significant foresight, RPG x IMX’s patent portfolio anticipated today’s consumer demand for AI, AR, VR, biometrics, color-scanning, RFID and the use of smart data in conjunction with the real-time delivery of personalized cosmetics. First, second, third, fourth, and fifth generation technologies within this domain have been protected, and validated by proof-of-concept testing. Combined, RPG x IMX has over 40 years of background and practice, and continues to grow its patent portfolio in ways that both disrupt and benefit the current beauty domain.
