Recently, Jessica‘s business The Honest Company was met with controversy when a Wall Street Journal article accused the company’s detergent of containing a the chemical compound, an ingredient they’ve previously expressed consumers should avoid.

In a statement, the company denied the claims, saying, “At The Honest Company, our mission is to develop safe and effective products for our families to use and for families everywhere to feel great about. Despite providing The Wall Street Journal with substantial evidence to the contrary, they falsely claimed our laundry detergent contains Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS). 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.”

They added, “The Wall Street Journal has been reckless in the preparation of this article, refused multiple requests to share data on which they apparently relied and has substituted junk science for credible journalism.”
