Jessica Alba is getting candid about stepping away from The Honest Company, the wellness brand she co-founded in 2011.
“When I realized that the business really needed the more kind of streamlined flow and not the visionary flow, I had to start thinking about what that meant for my role,” she said in a Thursday, June 13, interview. “I needed to leave it in hands that I knew it would be safe and with the right team.” Alba announced her decision to part ways with Honest in April, sharing in a statement that she planned to “shift her creative energy to new endeavors,” while remaining on the board of directors.
She added in a follow-up statement via Instagram, “Thank you for showing me that a girl with an unconventional path in business could help lead a movement for good.”
