Fast Company released list of The 100 most creative people in bussiness of 2012. Jessica Alba ranked #17. Congratulations to Jessica, she deserves it! :)

WIN ON THE BASICS
Consumers often forgive eco-friendly products for small failings, like deodorants that fade by evening. But diapers can’t leak. Honest creates absorbency with a wheat, corn, and wood-fluff mix and did independent testing–finding, it claims, that its diapers achieve up to 35% more total absorption than conventional and other eco-friendly diapers.

SPEAK THROUGH DESIGN
Eco-conscious parents are often young and hip, so you can’t just sell them on an ingredient list. Honest’s product design is influenced by French soap makers and designers like Alexander McQueen. “You spend more time changing your kid’s bum every single day than anything else,” Alba says. “Why not have it be more pleasant?”

PRIORITIZE PROPERLY
The diaper is more than 85% biodegradable, and though Alba relies on her science-minded team for the specifics, her direction is more gut based: She cares most about cleansing the materials that touch babies’ skin. “I do love the planet, but the health of my child comes first,” she says. Now the company is working to green the rest, like the tab that fastens the diaper closed.

HIDE NOTHING
Alba’s consumer expects purity of product, so her website keeps the details honest, too: Paper for fluff comes from certified sustainable forests; its baby wipes are biodegradable. “I wanted a company that’s transparent,” says Alba. “I was sick of people saying, ‘This is our green line, it costs a dollar more,’ but it’s the same stuff that’s in everything else. They deleted one fragrance, but it still has tons of carcinogens. Like, really?”

When it comes to really famous people, the ones we identify in our brains as belonging to a special breed of superhumans—glossy, glam, and perpetually camera-ready—it’s easy to forget that, to those in their inner orbit, they’re actually just normal, regular people. Somebody somewhere sees George Clooney’s number pop up on the caller ID and says, “Him again?” Or, as is the case today, when a visitor arrives at a small, modern Los Angeles building in an industrial part of town for a meeting with Jessica Alba, the guy she shares an office with shrugs indifferently and mumbles, “I think she’s upstairs?” before returning to his feverish typing.

These nondescript offices are the headquarters of The Honest Company, a kind of Amazon for nontoxic, environmentally friendly baby products and household supplies that Alba launched earlier this year. Alba loves coming to work here, a paparazzi-free zone where she’s absolved of having to preen and pose. It’s obvious as she bounds down the stairs to meet me that she savors the regular-ness of having an office, replete with coffeemaker and a fridge filled with yesterday’s lunches. To the cubicle jockeys who inhabit the space, she’s “just Jessica,” another clock-puncher who parks her SUV (outfitted with two car seats for daughters Honor, 4, and Haven, 9 months) alongside everyone else’s, and who shares mommy war stories without feeling exposed or judged—like the time she and her husband, film producer Cash Warren, found Honor lying in her crib eating particles of her diaper, which had fallen apart. The event crystallized Alba’s interest in safe, sustainable products, including disposable diapers, which The Honest Company delivers monthly to subscribers for upwards of $80 per month.

“I started working on this three and a half years ago,” Alba tells me. “I took a year off from acting when I had Honor, and I was home with her, diapering her, cleaning up after her, and I had a real frustration that I couldn’t find healthy, nontoxic, and affordable products that actually worked. So I decided I needed to do something about it while my family and friends have young children.”

Yet despite Alba’s best efforts to come across as just another mom, she is—let’s face it—anything but. As she leads me to a conference room, I can’t help but stare at her enviable form and wonder: Is that what jet-black J Brand skinny jeans are supposed to look like on a human body? Would those Margiela for Opening Ceremony black boots make my legs look that long? If I ran out and bought an identical rose-gold channel-set diamond ring that spans two fingers, would that technically make me a stalker or just an admirer?

On friday’s Mother’s Day episode, Jessica Alba joins Anderson with her mom Cathy, and Anderson shares a special Mother’s Day surprise from Alba’s husband, Cash Warren, and their daughters, Honor and Haven.

Alba, who is emotional after seeing the video, says she hasn’t seen her children in five days. Jessica smiled and tells Anderson, “Thank you for doing that! I miss them.”

The actress says she embraces motherhood, saying, “I’m the oldest of 14 cousins and I’ve been changing diapers since I was 5 years old. I always knew I was going to be a mom. Then when I got pregnant, I had this awakening where I wanted to protect my child from everything that I possibly could. So I did all this research for trying to create the healthiest and best environment for her, and found out that there are all these toxic chemicals in baby products.”

Jessica created The Honest Company, named after her first daughter, Honor. Alba’s company sells non-toxic baby products from diapers to sunscreen.
