Over 30 years ago, Jessica Iclisoy embarked on a journey to create a non-toxic environment for her family. In 1995, launching in her kitchen with ingredients she had sourced, Jessica began to create the beloved formulas for what is today, the industry standard in natural skincare, California Baby. Since then, Jessica has built California Baby into a globally recognized brand, with more than 200 products available at retailers nationwide and through a global distribution network. California Baby is a recognized Women Owned Business, with its own certified organic and FDA registered manufacturing operation and organic farm.Jessica is a member of the Plant Based Product Council and serves on their Policy, Education and Communication Committees. She is also a member of the Fast Company Impact Council which is an invitation-only collective of innovative leaders and the most creative people in business. Jessica is the chair of Female Arts Initiative, which is a nonprofit to support women in the arts. She is a Board member of UCLA – Santa Monica Hospital and serves as the Board Chair of the committee for their Integrated Medicine Initiative. Jessica believes that her mission extends far beyond creating products that are safe for children and healthy for the environment. In 2016, she launched The Natural Advisory Council (NAC) to form a coalition of natural, organic, and “green” product manufacturers, retailers, and non-profit consumer protection organizations to advocate, collaborate and educate (ACE) on the definition and use of the term, “natural” in all consumer products.Resources:https://www.californiababy.com/https://www.youtube.com/c/californiababyKey Takeaways:00:24 - 01:16 🎙 Episode overview: California Baby and Jessica Iclisoy01:25 - 07:26 🧑‍🍳 The most important ingredient in every California Baby product, and more about the company07:26 - 12:13 🧪 Creating recipes with scientists, and what that process was like12:14 - 14:33 💎 What inspires Jessica and her team to create new products?14:40 - 19:17 👏 Jessica's thoughts on organic and natural practices spreading across industries19:18 - 24:13 🌼 Being a stickler for ingredients and the capability to grow all California Baby's own ingredients24:53 - 28:37 🧩 The organic industry, marketing strategy, and doing the research28:37 - 33:03 🐝 Beekeeping failures, learnings, and considerations33:05 - 35:58 🌳 The Natural Advisory Council's relation to California Baby35:59 - 37:21 🎉 Reflecting on 30 years of business37:21 - 40:56 🌔 The stages of California Baby's life40:57 - 42:59 🗝 "When did you know you would be wildly successful?"43:01 - 45:21 ♻️ What the pandemic was like for California Baby from a supplier standpoint45:25 - 51:29 👯‍♀️💪 On encouraging other women in business51:31 - 59:19 🔮 Jessica's reactions to people wanting to buy California Baby, and her future outlook for the brand

California Baby: Organic Skincare for Kids (featuring Jessica Iclisoy)

Jessica Iclisoy, CEO and founder of California Baby, joins Host Deirdre Breakenridge on Women Worldwide. Jessica is a woman who has long been ahead of her time. It was while Jessica was pregnant with her first child more than two decades ago that she began a dive deep into research about how to live the healthiest, most natural life possible. With no intention of starting a business but driven by an absolute determination to change the status quo, Jessica found replacements for unsafe cleansing and fragrance ingredients and made what would be the first California Baby product—a calming, shampoo and body wash. On the show, Jessica shares her story; how she never intended to start a business but was looking for a healthier lifestyle. The launch of California Baby marked a period in time when organic / natural were not a part of our vernacular. Twenty years ago, she was educating the market and branding her company as a reflection of California lifestyle and thinking, which now is very popular. Jessica discusses her thoughts on smart consumerism and how we are living in a world of toxicity. She shares tips on how to be more in tune with the chemical in our products and how to identify them quickly. A little more about Jessica Iclisoy … Jessica single-handedly helped create the baby category in Whole Foods, and made California Baby the first natural brand to go to mass sales by selling in Target, even helping create the giant retailer’s premium category. Today, California Baby is also sold on massive e-commerce sites including Diapers.com, Amazon, and Drugstore.com. You can connect with Jessica on LinkedIn
