Our take
Honest sells clean, sustainable, well-designed products with a focus on health, wellness and the mother and baby market. Driven by a responsibility to people and the planet - and responding to consumer calls for sustainability - the company champions diverse, inclusive and ethical practices such as label transparency and 100% recycled packaging.
Although the company has seen successes, and went public in 2021, it also experienced a slew of class action lawsuits over potentially harmful ingredients, in strange and stark contrast to the safe products it intended to sell. Many of its offerings have since been reformulated, and the company itself has restructured its strategy, seeming to put it back on good footing despite the rocky road at its back.
