Overview

Blank Beauty, founded in 2016, combines AI color science with patented micro-dosing robotics to produce personalized cosmetics on demand. Its in-store Huey robotic platform creates custom nail polish shades in under two minutes, while Dolly automates online order fulfillment with real-time quality control and next‑day shipping. The company operates a micro-factory model that reduces centralized mass production and inventory waste and is consolidating operations into a new 4,000 sq ft manufacturing center in Knoxville, TN. Blank sells direct-to-consumer online and deploys retail devices, and is fielding inbound interest from national retailers and prestige brands. Product plans include expanding beyond nail polish into skin-tone products, liquid foundation, and hair care while maintaining clean, cruelty-free, U.S.-made formulations. The platform is positioned for both B2C and B2B deployment and emphasizes scalable, modular supply chains with strategic manufacturing partners.
