In this month’s companies we love and the people behind them, we spotlight The Honest Company and co-founders Jessica Alba and Christopher Gavigan.
Jessica, mother of two, is a California native and Golden-Globe nominated actress. When she became a mother she quickly realized that it was her most satisfying and important job to date. But she felt overwhelmed by choosing healthy products for her kids.
Christopher, father of three, has devoted his life to helping parents raise the healthiest babies possible. He has worked with nonprofits as well as penned a best-selling book to help educate parents about protecting their children from toxic risks.
Jessica and Christopher found themselves unsatisfied with products on the market available for their kids and home. They searched high and low for safe, non-toxic, eco-friendly options that were also affordable and fun to use, without much success.
In 2012 they decided to take matters into their own hands and launched The Honest Company. Designing and producing all of its own environmentally friendly products, the company focuses on creating products that are both high quality and safe. From diapers and body wash to sunscreen and bug spray, consumers can rest easy knowing that products are not harming children or the environment.
Why The Honest Company? Jessica and Christopher decided on the brand name because it represents both their values and brand philosophies. As parents, they understand what families want: a brand that’s truthful and open about their products.
Not even two years old, the company has already made strides in the natural household and baby products categories.
