The Honest Company, is coming under fire after an article in The Wall Street Journal claimed that their laundry detergent contained a chemical the company told its costumers not to use.
The Wall Street Journal investigation, published on Thursday, claims that independent lab tests revealed that The Honest Company's detergent contained sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS), which the company explicitly claimed their product was free of.
In response to the allegations, The Honest Company, co-founded by Jessica Alba, released a statement to ET defending their detergent and denying the claims made in The Wall Street Journal report.
"Despite providing The Wall Street Journal with substantial evidence to the contrary, they falsely claimed our laundry detergent contains Sodium Lauryl Sulfate," The Honest Company argued. "To set the record straight, we use Sodium Coco Sulfate (SCS) in our brand's laundry detergent because it is a gentler alternative that is less irritating and safer to use. Rigorous testing and analysis both by our internal research and development teams as well as further testing by external partners have confirmed this fact."
The Wall Street Journal article addressed the company's claim of using SCS in their report. According to the publication, "More than a dozen scientists interviewed by the Journal said SCS, which is made from palm or coconut oil, is a mixture of various cleaning agents that includes a significant amount of SLS."
