by rd95

    Unilever is attempting to buy Hollywood actor Jessica Alba’s household goods company Honest for more than $1bn (£760m), according to reports.

    The London-listed Unilever, which owns Dove soap, Lynx body sprays and Ben & Jerry’s ice cream, is on an acquisition spree buying up new and innovative companies that appeal to younger people to help maintain its stronghold on the global consumer goods market.

    The planned-purchase of Honest, which the Golden Globe-nominated actorco-founded in 2011, comes hot on the heels of Unilever’s $1bn purchase of Dollar Shave Club.
