How to choose best organic baby products in India?

Are organic baby product certifications important?

Product certifications shows us the commitment of the brand to quality and safety. It affirms that products have passed specific performance and quality assurance tests. Products without certifications are highly likely to be made from sub-standard components, that would fail product quality standards if they had been submitted for testing. When you purchase a product, look for these labels:

Check for chemical-free product certifications

Made Safe: One of the most comprehensive designations on the market, Made Safe screens products for flame retardants, carcinogens, heavy metals, endocrine disruptors, high-risk pesticides, and a variety of other toxins. Made Safe has a comprehensive Baby & Child product database. It also screens a variety of other products including mattresses and cleaning products.

EWG VERIFIED™: The Environmental Working Group maintains databases of the safest products available to consumers. More recently they launched a label to help consumers find these products at a glance. The label identifies healthy products for baby and kids, along with the safest products for hair, nails, and skin.    

The Nordic Swan Ecolabel: The Nordic Swan Ecolabel certified products meet requirements on chemical usage, resource consumption, greenhouse gas emissions and biodiversity.    

Asthma Allergy Nordic: The Asthma Allergy Nordic label is your guarantee that experts have reviewed the product’s list of ingredients and have determined that it does not contain substances that have a particular risk of allergy. Therefore, the risk is minimal for developing allergies.

Climate Pledge Friendly: Climate Pledge Friendly uses sustainability certifications to highlight products that support our commitment to help preserve the natural world.  

Check if it is made out of plant-based materials

Biobased products come from plants and other renewable agricultural, marine, and forestry materials. Watch for the percentage listed along with the label to see exactly what percent of bio-based ingredients exist in each product.  

Ecocert: It’s a rigorous process that consists of an independent and impartial certification body assessing the conformity of a product, service or system with environmental and social requirements specified in a standard. At the end of the certification process, Ecocert issues a decision and when positive, delivers a written assurance called a certificate.
