Los Angeles, CA – Actress Jessica Alba has announced that she will be stepping down as the chief creative officer of The Honest Company, a personal care company she founded over a decade ago. Alba expressed her desire to shift her creative energy towards new endeavors in a heartfelt post on Instagram, thanking her team and customers for their support.
The news of Alba’s departure was shared by The Honest Company in a press release, stating that the “Good Luck Chuck” actor will continue to serve on the company’s board of directors. Alba reflected on her journey with Honest, from pitching the concept to friends in a Mommy and Me class to the company’s successful IPO in 2021.
During her tenure, Alba’s entrepreneurial spirit landed her on Forbes’ list of America’s Richest Self-Made Women and America’s Richest Entrepreneurs Under 40. The successful public offering of Honest in 2021 valued the company at an estimated $2 billion, further solidifying Alba’s reputation as a business mogul.
Honest, known for its dedication to creating clean and sustainably-designed products, faced challenges over the years, including a voluntary recall of organic baby powder in 2017 due to contamination concerns. Despite setbacks, Alba remained committed to her vision of providing safe and eco-friendly personal care products for families.
As she transitions into a new chapter, Alba looks forward to contributing to The Honest Company’s continued success in her role on the board of directors. Her departure marks the end of an era for the company she founded, but Alba’s legacy of inspiring a movement for good through business will undoubtedly endure.
