Jessica Alba Enjoys being an actress enormously, but also gets a great deal of enjoyment out of running her own business too. She owns an eco-friendly company; The Honest Company, however admits that both disciplines need two very different skill sets.
She said: "Having a company that's making the world a better place is a life calling. Performing has also been a life calling, but they're so different.
"It takes a completely different side of my brain to do one versus the other. But I'm truly very proud of The Honest Company."
Alba was inspired to start up her own company which stocks household items, health care and beauty products after she had a an allergic reaction following the birth of her second child.
She explained to Glam Belleza Latina magazine: "I had an allergic reaction to baby laundry detergent when I was pregnant, which made me wonder: If a baby laundry detergent gives me a horrible reaction, then what will it do to a newborn? I realised that so many toxic chemicals are used in everyday products."
Alba thinks it is crucial that people are educated when it comes to the ingredients that are used in everyday products.
She said: "It's so important to empower people with as much education as possible. To me, we're successful when we can give people the information, and then they can make wise decisions from that knowledge."
