HiPP

A Company With Deep Roots That Cares About the Environment

Founded in 1899 in Germany, HiPP is a family-run company and one of the oldest formula-making manufacturers. HiPP prides itself on developing products that use the highest quality ingredients, meeting and exceeding the strictest EU governmental guidelines to deliver the safest nourishment for babies. HiPP has also led the way in sustainable, environmentally friendly production for years, thanks to its focus on organic ingredients and renewable resources.

Like most European formulas, HiPP offers multiple stages for infants between 0–12+ months, each specifically formulated to match their growing needs. HiPP formulas come in German and Dutch versions (with slight differences), and feature milk from grass-fed cows plus prebiotics/probiotics sourced from real human milk. Specialty formulas are also available to meet particular dietary requirements.

Why is HiPP Germany’s #1 brand?

HiPP has been manufacturing formula for over 60 years and is Germany’s top baby‐formula brand. Its products balance proteins, carbohydrates, and fats to closely mimic breast milk, include prebiotics and probiotics for healthy digestion, and offer multiple stages tailored to your baby’s developmental milestones.

Key Benefits of HiPP

• Closest to Breast Milk: HiPP formula is formulated to be as close to breast milk as possible, uniquely using probiotics extracted from real breast milk.
• 100% Organic: Cows graze on pesticide‐free pastures and eat an organic diet—these are some of the happiest cows, thanks to HiPP’s emphasis on animal welfare.
• Safety: Over 260 safety checks (including independent audits) ensure quality well beyond EU and international regulations.
• Essential Nutrients: Loaded with a full spectrum of premium ingredients like natural omega-3 & 6, DHA, ARA, and vitamins A, B, C & D for healthy eye and brain development.
• Comprehensive Range: A wide selection of formulas for 0–12+ months and specialty needs, each stage optimized for that age.
• No Artificial Additives: Free from GMOs, steroids, pesticides, soy, refined sugar, growth hormones, preservatives, and artificial colors.

HiPP Organic Seal

All HiPP products carry two seals: the EU Organic Logo and the HiPP Organic Seal.

EU Organic Logo

The EU Organic logo certifies that ingredients come from farms following the strictest standards, including:

• Using only untreated seeds
• Preventive measures to protect plants
• Prohibiting use of mineral nitrogen fertilizers
• Prohibiting chemical and synthetic sprays, genetic engineering, artificial colors, preservatives, and flavor enhancers
• Prohibiting hormones and unnecessary antibiotics

HiPP Organic Seal

The HiPP Organic Seal guarantees rigorous testing of ingredients (over 1,000 pollutants and contaminants screened) so only perfectly organic goods earn this seal.

Both HiPP and Holle products meet and exceed the strictest European and International regulations and guidelines for baby formula.

HiPP Formula Stages

HiPP stages are based on the baby’s age. There are three stages designed to mimic the changes in nutritional and energy needs of your baby.

HiPP formulas contain the right balance of proteins, carbohydrates, and fats that are optimized and tailored to your baby’s development and growth.
