Relatively new to the European family of organic baby formula brands is Loulouka.

Loulouka was introduced in 2016 by several baby formula industry experts after years of frustration by the inconsistent quality and composition of popular European infant formulas.

In our review of Loulouka infant formulas we will take a close look at the company, ingredients, and baby formulas that make up the Loulouka organic brand.

The founders of Loulouka - Michael, Peter, and Christiaan - each felt that there was not a baby formula on the market that exactly matched their ideals of perfect nutrition for their own children.

Coming together with a collective vision, these three men decided to build the foundation of what soon would be the Loulouka brand centering on two very important beliefs.

The first point of focus would be to make no compromises: they only use skim milk from organic cows and Swiss raw materials.

The second focal point of the brand formation would be to ensure sustainability across all ingredients and factory processes with great detail, including sustainable packaging as well as recycling 100% of its manufacturing waste.

When sourcing ingredients, Loulouka founders had a very specific plan to make sure that your little one gets the very best in safe, healthy organic nutrition without compromise or cutting corners.

For milk production the trio chose Switzerland. This country has the highest standards in the treatment of cows.

On average, farmers in Switzerland only keep 23 cows. Cows roam freely in the Swiss Alps and get all the special attention they need to lead happy and productive lives.

In the summer months, cows are given furlough so they can rest up and stay happy and healthy before resuming milk production; as we know happy cow’s make better milk.

The founders of Loulouka chose the Netherlands, where they met, to bring their sources together and to supply families with nutrition.

Switzerland is known all over the world for the strict regulations concerning infant nutrition and organic certification standards.

With your infant in mind, Loulouka is produced in small batches and then goes through 50 different quality assurance batch tests before shipping.

Quality is of the utmost importance to Loulouka! That is why their entire supply chain meets and even exceeds many standards including:

✓  EU Organic Certification

✓  ISO certification 22000 for food safety management system processes

✓  SKAL certification for organic products

✓  Swiss organic regulations

✓  Swiss organic farming regulations

✓  HACCP certification

✓  Swiss Guarantee certification

✓  Switzerland – US equivalence regime

Loulouka uses skimmed Swiss cow’s milk to provide proteins. Parents can be confident that no soy ingredients such as soy oil, soy lecithin, or soy protein will ever be used.

Research has clearly shown that too much soy in infancy can have profound effects on babies' health that can last a lifetime

Many organic baby formulas contain palm oil as a fat source. Baby formula producers use palm oils because it has qualities similar to nutrients found in breastmilk.

Unfortunately, palm oil can cause sensitivity issues in babies' tummies and has negative environmental implications.

A search for a better choice began. One that would be sustainable, nutrient rich, and easy on every baby's digestive system. Coconut oil became the answer.

Coconut oil is gentle on babies' digestive systems and closely mimics breast milk in many nutrients such as a high concentration of medium chain triglycerides and saturated fatty acids.

The environmental impact of coconut oil is very low. Growing coconuts doesn't require pesticides or herbicides, and coconuts are harvested by hand.

Cheaper, processed substitutes for lactose that include corn syrup, glucose syrup solids, sugar, brown rice syrup, and sucrose are often found in over-the-counter American formulas.

These high glycemic sugars are rapidly digested and cause substantial fluctuations in blood sugar, leading to health problems that can be impossible to reverse.

Loulouka baby formulas contain only naturally occurring lactose sugars for their carbohydrate, giving your baby the perfect balance of energy and nutrition.

Loulouka infant formulas contain galacto oligosaccharides (GOS) which belong to the group of prebiotics or prebiotic fibers. GOS are produced naturally from lactose with the help of enzymes.

This healthy fiber helps to regulate gut functions by feeding the good bacteria that lives in the large intestine.

All necessary vitamins and minerals are included from stage 1 all the way to stage 3 follow on formula. Loulouka formulas then go beyond requirements to include Omega 3 and Omega 6, amino acids, inositol, and choline.

Most importantly, the very best Swiss organic skim-milk provides intangible benefits for Loulouka infant formulas.

In addition to the benefits we have outlined, you can be sure that Loulouka nutrition will only contain pure organic ingredients and without fillers, harmful additives, or questionable components.

EU and Swiss regulation will never allow: GMOs, soy products, added sugars, or synthetic ingredients, and Loulouka will never compromise quality ingredients over cheap and harmful fillers.

To support your infant in growth and development, both physical and cognitive, Loulouka has designed baby formula with balanced nutrition for each age and stage from birth through the first year.

Loulouka Stage 1 is for babies from the first day of birth. This formula is perfect as a supplement to breastfeeding or as a replacement for mother’s milk.

Parents appreciate the balanced nutrition that can be used from day 1 and throughout the first year.

This formula is easy on digestion and contains all essential vitamins, including vitamins A, C, & D and iron. Stage 1 has 100% lactose as the only/primary carbohydrate used.

Loulouka Stage 2 is made for babies aged 6-12 months. Parents who wish to switch to this stage like the higher iron content in addition to the higher added DHA/ARA content.

Stage 2 has 70% lactose and 30% maltodextrin to make the formula thicker in consistency than Stage 1; this is to ready your little one for solid nutrition.

Loulouka Stage 3 is designed for babies 10 months and onward. Perfect for parents who are introducing solid food but want to fill in the gaps of nutrition into toddlerhood.

This follow on formula has slightly more calories per serving than Stage 1 & 2 to support the energy and growth of a toddler. Stage 3 contains 70% lactose and 30% maltodextrin.

Eco-conscious and uncompromising nutrition that not only conforms to the most recent EU guidelines for baby formulas but continually go above and beyond.

Loulouka takes great pride in making sure every detail of your littles one's nutrition is sustainable, organic and healthy; making an impact today that will last a lifetime.

Sustainable, pure, healthy nutrition that any family can feel good about and babies love. Is it any wonder Loulouka made it to the list of The Best Organic Baby Formulas.
