I sort of have a rule that if a company feels compelled to incorporate the word “honest” or “trust” into their company name, I probably should not trust them.
“Sure, you can have an opinion. It might not be an informed one, but you’re free to have one.”
It might also be an informed one.
You’re making an assumption and an ass of yourself.
“Seriously, why the heck are so many “conservatives” so willing to trust these massive global conglomerates and their lackies?”
Maybe because we trust leftists even less, and people that whine about corporations and their “lackies” tend to be leftists.
That was exactly my point. Say they don't contain "x" chemicals, or what they do contain. Let me choose. Quit trying to get government to force me to buy what I don't want to, or prevent me from buying what I do. What the hell ever happened to caveat emptor? That not only applies to Ms. Alba, but her competitors, as well. I'm just sick and tired of everyone running to the government for this, that, or the other.
What assumption would that be?
Those global conglomerates are run by leftists.
Nestle, Monsato, Pepsico and so on.
That those who wish to eliminate unnecessary chemicals are uninformed.
Perhaps you’d like to use the government to force everyone to eat “whats good for them”.
peas anyone?
How is Alba forcing you to buy anything?
All people in her market space do is want full disclosure. Force companies to tell consumers what is in their products.
I’ve looked at several items; infant formula, diapers, toothpaste, dryer cloths, vitamins. Most items appear to be made in the US with domestic and imported materials. Diapers are made in Mexico. It looks like each individual item has the info on where materials are sourced from and where they are manufactured.
“The Honest Company “??
The name alone would raise a red flag for me.
Uh... what was the question again?
OK ... now I see it. Each product’s individual page identifies where it’s made. The sunscreen, for example, is said to be made in USA.
“That those who wish to eliminate unnecessary chemicals are uninformed.”
Who said that? It wasn’t me.
“Those global conglomerates are run by leftists.”
Sure they are. Every single one, right?
Why The Honest Company is looking at China, not Europe
Co-founder Brian Lee cites a booming population, plus a lack of trust toward Chinese-made products
Update: Lee tells me that the company will not be manufacturing its core products in China and will be shipping from Los Angeles. And that it would have no effect on the cost of goods sold in China.

Hillary is a mom
Look up David Fenton and Fenton Communications.... he's a Weather Underground, VC loving holdover from the Vietnam era who makes his living trashing the reputations of business owners on behalf of by everything from Ben and Jerry's to the Sierra Club. They targeted the apple industry on behalf of organic growers by ginning up an unsubstantiated rumor about alar, IIRC, and generated a dairy cow hormone scare to benefit Ben and Jerry's.
Umm, $1B in revenue doesn’t translate into clearing $1B.
