"The allegations against us are baseless and without merit," she stated. "We are steadfast in our commitment to transparency and openness.I know my children, Honor and Haven, are growing up in a safer home because of our products.​" The Honor Company is valued at more than $1 billion. In August, the company faced public backlash on social media, as numerous consumers voiced complaints about the company's sunscreen and its failure to adequately protect them. Jessica responded in a company blog post, telling the public: "We've gone through extensive third-party testing in accordance with government regulations and our Sunscreen Lotion passed all SPF 30 testing requirements. It also received the best score possible from the Environmental Working Group (EWG).​"
