0:00.0	Hello everyone and welcome to Fat Mascara. It's Jen and it's just Jen. So as we told you
0:13.9	last week, Jess is taking the month of February off to focus on some other work projects. So
0:18.8	it's just me and I figured I'd try and give you an even better sound quality. I'm sitting
0:23.5	in my tiny Brooklyn closet. I hope this sounds good. And I'm here to introduce an amazing
0:30.5	guest, Jessica Alba, before I tell you about her, in case you don't know who she is, I just
0:36.2	want to say she was recording with us. So this was like maybe two weeks ago. From her home,
0:41.1	she has her home office set up. We actually talk about that, but actually in her living
0:44.4	room. So if there's any sound issues, that's why honestly we're doing our best and hoping
0:48.9	that like we will be in a studio someday in the future. But for now, how cool that we can
0:53.9	bring you an interview with Jessica Alba that everybody did at home. So on that note, listen,

1:13.6	she's been in so many, so many shows and films, the dark angel, the fantastic four series,
1:19.0	her latest show, LA's finest, which I believe is on Netflix now. When we spoke to her,
1:24.2	was actually one of the top 10 shows on Netflix. But of course, the reason we wanted to have her on
1:28.9	Fat Mascara is the honest company, which she co-founded in 2012. And then in 2015, it spun off
1:35.6	the subsidiary, well, as part of the honest company, honest beauty. Now Jessica has been a big
1:40.9	proponent of the clean beauty movement. We wanted to talk to her about that. We wanted to talk
1:46.2	about what, if anything, that word means these days. And clearly, it does still mean a lot to her.
1:50.4	And you know, we've talked about this on the show. And we love that she really gave us some insight
1:54.5	into the way she thinks about formulation personally, but also how her company handles it.
