How Developers Can Use the Skin Tone API & SDK to Build Smarter Beauty Apps

Meta Title: Integrate AI Skin Tone Detection into Your App with the Skin Tone Recommender API
Meta Description: Learn how developers can easily integrate AI-based skin tone detection using the Skin Tone Recommender API and SDK for web, mobile, and eCommerce apps.

Introduction

Developers are now at the heart of the beauty industry’s AI revolution.
From virtual try-on to shade matching and product recommendations, technology is redefining how users shop for beauty products.

The Skin Tone Recommender API and SDK make it simple to bring this innovation to your app — whether it’s an eCommerce store, salon platform, or mobile beauty app.

Let’s explore how you can integrate it in minutes.


1. What Is the Skin Tone Recommender API?

The API is a web-based interface that takes an image (captured or uploaded) and returns:

  • ✅ The average skin color (HEX & RGB)

  • ✅ The closest tone name from a curated tone database

  • ✅ Optional: Recommended product matches

Example response:

 
{ "hex": "#CD966B", "rgb": [205, 150, 107], "closestTone": "Medium Light", "recommendedProducts": [ "PerfectMatch Foundation 302", "GlowUp Concealer ML-4" ] }

It’s built using ΔE2000 color difference algorithms to ensure laboratory-level accuracy in tone detection.


2. What Is the SDK?

The SDK (Software Development Kit) gives developers everything needed to embed skin tone detection directly in their apps — no backend coding required.

It includes:

 
skin-tone-detector-sdk/ │ ├── index.js # Core tone detection logic ├── tones.js # Full tone list (HEX + RGB) ├── demo.html # Live camera or upload interface └── test.js # Sample tests

You can deploy it directly on Vercel or GitHub Pages and start detecting tones from the browser in seconds.

3. How It Works (Under the Hood)

1️⃣ User grants camera or uploads an image.
2️⃣ The system extracts the average color from the selected region (within an adjustable circular mask).
3️⃣ Converts RGB → LAB color space.
4️⃣ Uses the ΔE2000 formula to calculate the closest match from the tone database.
5️⃣ Returns the tone, HEX, and optional product mapping.

All in real-time — no heavy processing or cloud cost.


4. Integration Examples
🧩 Web Integration
 
fetch("https://api.highvaluesolutions.net/analyze", { method: "POST", body: JSON.stringify({ image: base64Image }), headers: { "Content-Type": "application/json" }, }) .then(res => res.json()) .then(data => console.log(data));
📱 Mobile Integration (React Native / Flutter)

Use the SDK as a lightweight JS module.
The tone result can trigger product suggestions, AR previews, or personalized ads.

🛍️ eCommerce Integration (WooCommerce + Plugin)

For non-developers, the WordPress plugin provides a ready-made interface:
