European baby formulas manufacturers are extremely well regarded, with decades of experience in the organic baby food industry. Family owned and operated, they pride themselves on never including sucrose, corn syrup, or synthetic ingredients in their baby formulas.
Sourced from family owned 100% organic and high quality standard farms with humane animal husbandry practices. European baby formula companies have the infant's health and development at heart.
In stark contrast, the majority of American baby food companies are owned by three pharmaceutical companies which represent more than 90% of baby formula sales in the United States.
Using a great deal of GMO additives and sugars (sometimes hidden under names like high fructose corn syrups and glucose syrup solids) as the main carbohydrate to save money, American baby formula companies are risking children's well-being everyday.
With large corporate practices for farming and manufacturing, money inevitably becomes their bottom line.
HiPP
HiPP was founded in 1899 by Joseph Hipp, when his wife, Maria Oster, had trouble nursing one of their seven children.
HiPP European baby formula is one of the most popular brands in Europe. Headquartered in Germany, with additional manufacturers in the Netherlands and the United Kingdom, makes HiPP one of the most diverse baby formula brands.
HiPP maintains a network of more than 6,000 contracted organic family owned farmers from various countries, which are involved in the production of organic fruit, organic vegetables, and organic meat. HiPP stands as the world’s largest processor of organic-biological raw materials.
HiPP 100% organic and high quality non-organic baby formula is now making waves in the United States. This is in large part due to specialty formulas designed for babies with feeding conditions such as reflux, constipation, gassiness, colic, and milk protein intolerance that aren’t loaded full of nasty ingredients like the specialty formulas in America.
HiPP brand is known for ecological, economical, and social sustainability. “The best of nature. The best for nature” is the standard by which the growth of the company is constantly being measured.
Holle
One of the leading brands in European baby formula for over 80 years, Holle has created organic formulas in Demeter quality since 1933.
Within the last 35 years, Holle has been available in over 40 countries across Europe with the headquarters in Riehen, Switzerland.
Holle baby formula is a Demeter Organic ++ Certified EU product that is chemical-free and gluten-free. It also has no added sugar, GMO’s, preservatives, wheat, soy, or nuts.
Offering 100% organic cow’s milk and goat’s milk formula, many American parents are finding the perfect answer for their sensitive and allergy prone babies with Holle formula.
Lebenswert
Also manufactured by Holle, Lebenswert is similar to Holle’s cow milk formula in many ways. Lebenswert formulas have all earned Bioland certification.
Lebenswert formulas feature organic lactose and organic maltodextrin as the main carbohydrate sources, providing babies with longer-lasting and organic sources of nutrition and energy.
Lebenswert refuses to use any ingredients exposed to pesticides or herbicides. As with all European baby formula, Lebenswert is free of hormones or unnecessary antibiotics, so your baby is going to be healthier today and in the future.
Lebenswert is not only sustainable in its practices, but is also forward thinking. Lebenswert donates one cent of each baby formula sold to forest restoration and reforestation projects, so you’ll be supporting an eco-friendly BIO project with each formula purchase.
Loulouka
One of the newest and best organic baby formulas from Europe, known for its clean list of ingredients, Loulouka was founded by Peter, Christiaan, and Michael in 2019 after years of research and hard work. Individually, each founder has years of experience in the baby formula business.
The founders of Loulouka each felt that there was not a baby formula on the market that exactly matched their ideals for their own children and in their personal experiences in the organic baby food industry.
Joining forces in 2016, they started developing their own baby formula that fit their collective vision for the perfect baby formula.
The first part of their vision is to make no compromises: they only use skim milk from organic cows and Swiss raw materials.
The second part of the founders vision’ is sustainability across all ingredients, factory processes, and of course the end where the company uses sustainable packaging as well as recycles 100% of its manufacturing waste.
Kendamil
Kendamil baby formula is one of the best options Europe has to offer. This UK brand has the distinction of becoming the first ever baby formula in the world to contain Human Milk Oligosaccharides (HMOs), as found in Human breast milk and is the only European baby formula that is certified vegetarian friendly.
Kendamil only uses organic full cream nutrients, plant-based DHA and HMOs to build up your little one’s immune system.
Kendamil ensures the best organic quality by dealing directly with the farmers and pasteurize their milk at their factory - turning it into powder instead of having another company process the milk.
Kendamil 100% organic whole cow’s milk and red tractor certified goat’s milk formula stands out as the gold standard in infant nutrition.
Organic baby formulas, American and European, are more expensive when compared to the over-the-counter conventional formulas found in local big chain stores.
The difference in price comes down to ingredients. Non-organic over-the-counter baby formulas use sugars as the main carbohydrate, fillers, and artificial ingredients.
The pharmaceutical companies that own 90% of the American formula brands use only the very basic guidelines when it comes to choosing what constituents as healthy. These cheaper to produce ingredients may save money now, but they have a huge impact on babies' health today and in the future.
Exposure to harmful chemicals, synthetic nutrients, and processed ingredients can cause stress on the pancreas, liver, and heart, leading to long-term health conditions, such as obesity and heart disease.
Sugars, such as high-fructose corn syrup, have a higher glycemic index making it more difficult for a baby's body to maintain blood sugar levels. This drastic high and low affects babies' mood, heart health, and blood-filtering systems.
Regular intake of high-fructose corn syrup and other inorganically sourced sugars can lead to insulin resistance and metabolic syndrome, which are both key contributors to diabetes.
As you can see, the money saved now is not worth the long term effect to baby’s health and happiness.
Priceless
Organic baby formulas never include corn syrup solids or synthetic ingredients.
American and European organic standards include using only non-GMO ingredients, organic lactose as the main carbohydrate, and milk that has been sourced from animals that are never treated with artificial growth hormones or antibiotics.
European baby formula manufacturers then take it to the next level, where American organic baby formulas stop, giving babies ethically-sourced and produced products, milk that comes from 100% grass-fed animals, and European baby formula that will never contain soy products of any kind.
European baby formulas have babies' health in mind when sourcing the very best organic ingredients to support growing bodies and minds. They are never adding any hormones or chemicals from soil to production.
When it comes to setting a firm foundation for infant health, European organic nutrition is priceless.
