L.A. Girl cosmetic maker to move to Ontario
Beauty 21 Cosmetics Inc. will move its headquarters to Ontario with the $15-million purchase of a warehouse and office facility.
The company, founded in 1985 in Rancho Cucamonga, makes the L.A. Girl line of cosmetics that are sold in retail stores and online. Products include liquid makeup, blush, eye shadow, nail polish and body glitter.
Beauty 21 Cosmetics bought the 231,000-square-foot distribution center at 2021 S. Archibald Ave. from a partnership between CT Realty Investors and Behringer Harvard, brokerage Jones Lang LaSalle said.
The property was formerly occupied by shoe manufacturer Skechers USA Inc., which has relocated to Moreno Valley. Beauty 21 has started moving its distribution operations into the facility and is expected to move its offices within a few months.
Archibald Business Center is near the junction of the 15 and 60 freeways, about 35 miles east of Los Angeles, said James “Watty” Watson, president of CT Realty Investors.
