Jessica Alba helps parents with non-toxic products for home and family

When Jessica Alba became a mother, she and her husband struggled to find products she felt good about putting on her baby's skin. They also started paying more attention to the ingredients in the products they used on themselves as well as in their home. Even with the bankroll of a successful Hollywood TV and film star, she couldn't find many options - so she started a company.

Not just any company - an AMAZING company. From the energy used to produce the products (all from renewable resources) to the packaging (as renewable as possible with the vision of being 100% plant-based in the near future) to the actual bath, body and household products (all vegan and cruelty free) and every other detail all the way down the company line, this is a new kind of business that wants to treat the planet and its inhabitants with care for future generations. The company even gives back to family-based charities. They have free sample packs so you can try the products without a big commitment - just pay shipping and handling!

Research does show a link between some childhood ailments and exposure to toxic chemicals. Read a study in Scientific American here. Many people are trying to find a way to minimize exposure while still having the convenience options of modern life (chlorine-free, plant-based disposable diapers in cute patterns, laundry pods and more!). The Honest Company even offers a subscription-based savings plan so you won't run out of your favorite supplies and will save time and energy on frantic last minute store-runs.
