Kylie does not own or have control over the lab. A former employee named Irene Lopez told the outlet Kylie and Kris Jenner would come to the factory to check on the products and to film stuff for social media.

Irene said Kylie would come by to watch them work. She said, "Before they would come in our supervisors would tell us, ‘You are not allowed to talk with them, you guys are supposed to keep on working, you guys are not allowed to take any pictures or ask any questions. We had to be quiet and continue working."

She continued, "They would come around and just watch us on the machines or filling up the makeup tubes. They wouldn’t talk to us, they never talked to me, they would talk to the leads and just walk around and look at everything.”
