Here’s your monthly top 10—the most-viewed news stories on our site for January.

The Honest Company, the consumer products manufacturer that pioneered e-commerce and subscription-based baby diaper and wipes sales more than a decade ago, has moved away from direct-to-consumer (DTC) sales as part of a plan to shift focus toward more profitable categories. The company ended website sales and ceased operations of its mobile app in late December and has exited both brick and mortar and e-commerce retailers in Canada.

“These updates were made with you, our loyal Honest family, at heart and will allow us to focus on what matters most: developing and designing products that meet our rigorous Honest Standards for you and your loved ones,” the company said in a note to its customers. 

In other news, on December 22, 2025, Curt G. Joa, Inc. (JOA) successfully closed on the highly anticipated acquisition of Cellulose Converting Solutions, SpA (CCS), one of Italy’s leading global manufacturers of absorbent hygiene equipment. The finalization of this very strategic move significantly accelerates JOA’s global expansion and strengthens the company’s position as a comprehensive provider of advanced machine solutions.
