She's a beautiful actress, a business mogul, and she just does not seem to age. And today, in 2021, she's commonly known as the founder of The Honest Company. This consumer products brand offers safe, eco-friendly products like diapers, a natural line of bath, skincare, home cleaning, etc. It's a go-to place for household products focused on safety and ethical consumerism. But back in the 2000s, Jessica Alba was an up-and-coming actress. Unfortunately, she didn't have the best critical reception. We have a feeling the girl knew there was more out there for her than just being a Hollywood star. The early 2010s weren't like today. Now, a celebrity announces a company or raises a fund, and people are banging down their doors to give them money. Back then, you had one lane and you did not stray, people didn't really take celebrity-sponsored companies that seriously.
