Jessica Alba is gracing another magazine cover but this time it’s not in recognition of her stunning looks or talent as an actress. The mom of two made the cover of Forbes for her achievements with The Honest Company.
Alba co-founded the affordable and eco-friendly baby product line in 2011 and it’s been so successful that she’s been named one of America's Richest Self-Made Women by Forbes.
The Honest Company is now valuated at $1 billion, skyrocketing from $10 million in revenue in 2012 to a predicted $250 million for 2015.
Alba owns between 15 and 20 percent of the company, which means she’s sitting on around a $200 million fortune.
She said of her product, “I felt like my needs weren’t being met as a modern person. I want beautiful design like everybody else. But it shouldn’t be premium-priced, and it should, of course, be safe.”
She started the company to meet her own needs for her children; Honor, now 6 and Haven, 3 when she broke out in a rash after using baby detergent.
"I was like, 'How can this be safe for babies if I'm having this type of reaction?'" she said.
The company now offers over 120 natural products, without toxins or chemicals.
