April 9 (Reuters) - Personal care and baby products
maker Honest Company  HNST.O  said on Tuesday its founder,
actress Jessica Alba, would be stepping down from her role as
the chief creative officer.
    Alba, known for her roles in movies such as "Fantastic
Four", "Honey" and "Good Luck Chuck", had founded the company in
2012 and it began trading on Nasdaq in 2021.  
    Honest said that Alba, who is shifting her energies to "new
endeavors", would continue to provide her support and leadership
as a member of its board. 
    Shares of the household products maker were up more than 2%
in extended trading after the company also reaffirmed its
full-year revenue and adjusted core profit forecasts provided in
March. 
    Honest had reported a surprise profit for the fourth quarter
in March, which it attributed to growth in its digital channel
and benefits from price increases.
