VALENCIA, Calif., Jan. 21, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- As LORAC Cosmetics celebrates its 20th anniversary, the brand is also announcing a partnership with Encore Consumer Capital, a premiere private equity firm. Encore Consumer Capital invests exclusively in consumer product companies. Both companies see this collaboration as an opportunity for LORAC to soar to new heights.
