important.
With Alba’s help, the company
has created a way to help
employees reach executive
positions, even if they started
at an entry-level position. The
company will add a curriculum,
a women-specific program,
and in-house mentorship
opportunities that work
for women specifically.
WHAT MAKES IT GOOD
Alba didn’t create this company
to make money; she made it
because of real-life needs she
had as a mother. She wanted
to help other mothers so that
they wouldn’t have the same
experience she had. When
she had her first child, Honor,
Alba had an allergic reaction
to a baby laundry detergent—
she didn’t want other mothers
to experience the same
thing. One of the coolest aspects
of the company is that
they offer subscription boxes.
You can pick and choose what
goes into them—whether it
be a monthly pack of diapers,
beauty essentials, or formula,
Jessica Alba and The Honest
Company want to make sure
that families have what they
need.
Although her company has
had some ups and downs, this
year L. Catterton, a private equity
firm, invested $200 million
in Alba’s company. Alba
told Forbes that she’s just
getting started. You’ll definitely
want to look into Alba’s organic
products and the soonto-come
company growth.
