Loulouka a Safe and Healthy Baby Formula
Is Loulouka a healthy and safe baby formula?
Organic standards. There are many formulas available that meet both federal and state regulations; however, they may not be safe for your newborn. Many of these formulas use dangerous synthetic ingredients, which may even be harmful to your unborn child. Most organic formulas do not use anything with toxins.
Pasteurized Formula:
Most baby formula sold today is pasteurized, or heat-treated, from palm oil, corn syrup, or other similar food substances. Palm oil is largely used as an "invisible fat," because it is solid at room temperature but becomes rancid very quickly when heated. (This happens even with organic formulas that use honey as an added moisture source.) Corn syrup is derived from corn, sugar derived from sugar beets, wheat flour from wheat berries, molasses from corn, and water from recycled sugar cane.
Introduction:
Loulouka's founder, Hippocrates Loulou was inspired by the work of his father, Hippocrates, who studied traditional Greek medicine and founded the Academy. According to Hippocrates, baby formulas should contain only what is needed for the first eight months of development. Babies grow rapidly in the first two years of life and most formulas sold today will not meet your baby's needs through the third year of life. Loulouka's formulas fulfill all U.S. regulatory requirements.
Ingredients:
Loulouka's formula contains only soy, which has no artificial preservatives, colors, or flavorings. One of the benefits of using soy products in your baby formula is that it is generally considered "organic." In order for soy to be categorized as organic, it must meet the same conditions as fruits and vegetables. Soybeans are grown without the use of pesticides, herbicides, or other chemicals.
Vegan formula:
Loulouka Formula is a vegan formula. The company tries to make its pure formulas as healthy and environmentally friendly as possible. It is certified by the Organic Consumer Association and is a member of the Program for Alternative Health. Because the baby formula uses only organic ingredients, you can feel confident about giving this formula to your baby. However, organic baby food also has its limitations.

Even though Loulouka's is certified organic:
it uses palm oil in the base of its formulas. Palm oil is a petroleum-based product that contributes to environmental contamination. Studies have shown that exposure to low levels of palm oil over a long period of time can cause nerve damage and other health problems. A Loulouka review I did on their website stated that the palm oil used in Loulouka is GM palm oil, a non-organic, petroleum product that is banned throughout the world.
OSHA:
While Loulouka claims that its organic formulas are free of bovine collagen and bovine growth hormone, these two ingredients are commonly found in organic baby food. If the organic company can get it to the point of meeting the United States Pharmacopoeia safety standards, then it is safe to say that they are not violating any of the United States Occupational Safety and Health Administration's (OSHA) regulations. They do state however that all of their products are GM and PHS certified. They also state that all of their products are created in the United States, by a GM plant. According to a separate article on Loulouka's website, "All of our GM crops are tested for both strength and purity before they ever reach our shores."
Lactose:
Loulouka also does not list lactose in their organic baby formula. It is listed on many of its other products such as baby shampoo and bathwater. They do state however that they do not use the sugar lactose, instead of relying on glucose as a replacement. In conclusion, this brand of organic baby formula is safe for your baby. However, you may want to check with your doctor, especially if you are nursing or if you are at risk for lactose intolerance.
