Who runs it

California Baby began as one new mother searching for a safe baby shampoo and has continued since 1995 with 30 years of research and care. The business operates as a manufacturer rather than a marketer and blends and packages products in an FDA registered and certified organic solar powered facility in the USA. It cultivates ingredients on a 100 acre certified organic farm in Santa Barbara. The company also supports Natural Advisory Council, a nonprofit that educates consumers about safe choices.

What it does well

California Baby develops innovative, pure and safe skincare for babies, children and the whole family. The range covers Super Sensitive wash, broad spectrum sunscreen, bug repellent, eczema care, Calendula wash and dog wash.
