Jessica Iclisoy

Founder, California Baby

Jessica Iclisoy, founder and CEO of California Baby®, is a pioneering force in holistic baby care and a trusted partner for Nanny Village families. Motivated by concerns over harmful chemicals in baby products during her first pregnancy, she began formulating plant-based alternatives in her kitchen. This initiative led to the creation of California Baby in 1995, a brand that has since grown into a globally recognized empire offering over 200 non-toxic, organic products, available at major retailers like Whole Foods and Target. Her commitment to purity and sustainability has made California Baby a staple in millions of households worldwide.

Jessica has been recognized as a leader in natural skincare, earning a place on Forbes' Self-Made Women list from 2017 to 2022, and is a member of the Fast Company Impact Council. Her influence extends beyond business as she serves on the board of directors at Bastyr University, a leading institution for natural health sciences. As Nanny Village families seek trusted partners in childcare, Jessica Iclisoy and California Baby stand out for their unwavering dedication to holistic, science-backed baby care. LEARN MORE.
