Jessica Alba is stepping down as the chief creative officer of The Honest Company to focus on new endeavors after more than a decade with the company. She will remain on the board of directors. Alba founded the personal care company in 2008 while pregnant with her first child and has since led it to an estimated value of $2 billion. The company has faced challenges, including a recall of organic baby powder and disputes over product ingredients. Alba expressed gratitude for her team and customers in an Instagram post announcing her departure. She plans to redirect her focus to new projects and passions while continuing to contribute to the company’s success as a board member. Honest brands itself as a company dedicated to creating clean and sustainably-designed products. Alba’s entrepreneurial success has also been recognized by Forbes, landing her on lists of America’s Richest Self-Made Women and Entrepreneurs Under 40.
