Jessica Alba today joined officials from the Mount Sinai Health System to formally open The Honest Company Ultra Clean Room. Part of Mount Sinai's Children's Environmental Health Center (CEHC),the state-of-the-art facility will measure—with greater sensitivity—the impact of chemicals in the environment on children's health, according to The Honest Company.
"The Honest Company Ultra Clean Room is the gold standard in analytical chemistry laboratories, and we want to thank Jessica Alba, Christopher Gavigan and the rest of our friends at The Honest Company for their generous support of this endeavor," said Kenneth L. Davis, MD, CEO and president of the Mount Sinai Health System. "The new clean room will be an integral part of our Laboratory for Molecular Environmental Chemistry and further establishes Mount Sinai as a leader in the field of children's environmental health."
The Honest Company Ultra Clean Room is specially equipped with technology that significantly reduces the risk of sample contamination and allows for evaluation of chemicals at concentrations as low as parts per trillion. Already, groundbreaking work has been conducted in the Ultra Clean Room, where a novel "biomarker" was developed to determine prior environmental exposures in children.
"When we started The Honest Company, I was excited to create a brand that families could trust for safer, more affordable options in non-toxic and eco-friendly lifestyle products," said Alba. "Hearing the passion from our customers for more products and more information inspired us to go a step further. By supporting the team here at Mount Sinai with The Honest Company Ultra Clean Room, we're creating a space where chemical and environmental research can generate valuable knowledge to forge a real change in the marketplace and, ultimately, people's everyday lives. Seeing The Honest Company Ultra Clean Room at Mount Sinai is a dream come true."
