A series of photos of Kylie Jenner were posted on Instagram by cosmetic developer, Kevin James Bennett, earlier this week. They went viral for all the wrong reasons, and Jenner herself is putting her two cents in. The photos depict the mogul seemingly in her cosmetics lab wearing a white lab coat but no safety protective gear (gloves, hair net, face mask, etc.) while surrounded by makeup samples.
“I’m a cosmetic developer and work with cosmetic manufacturers (and their labs) as part of my job,” part of Bennett’s caption read. “I have very short hair, and I’ve NEVER been allowed into the lab or onto the manufacturing floor without a hair net, shoe covers, mask…and disposable GLOVES.”
Jenner replied in the comments. “Kevin – this picture is not taken in a manufacturing facility,” she wrote. “I would never bypass sanitary protocols and neither would any other celeb or beauty brand owner. that’s completely unacceptable i agree. this is a small personal space creating my own fun samples and taking pictures for content nowhere near the mass manufacturing. no one is putting customers at risk ! shame on you kevin for spreading false information !!!!”
Page Six said that sources confirmed to the media outlet Jenner was indeed not on the floor where production takes place. However, Bennett called the claim into question.
