Earth Mama Organics safety review

How we looked at this brand

We reviewed Earth Mama Organics the way we review every brand: company facts first, then the paper trail. The company was founded in 2002 by Melinda Olson, a nurse who started with homemade herbal remedies, in Clackamas, Oregon. It is now owned by Eleeo Brands, a Cincinnati company that also makes Dapple: the US trademark record for Earth Mama lists Eleeo Earth Mama, LLC as its owner. We have not established when the sale took place. (Corrected in October 2026: this page previously said the company had no parent company.)

What sets this brand apart is how much of its marketing is independently checkable. Its organic claims are certified by Oregon Tilth, an independent certifier whose records are public. Several product lines are Non-GMO Project Verified and EWG Verified, and the company holds Leaping Bunny certification for animal testing. One thing worth knowing as you weigh these: EWG Verified is a program brands apply and pay to participate in, so we treat it as a useful signal rather than proof. We list only the certifications we could tie to a certifier — the full list, with links to each certifier's own database, is in the safety breakdown above.

We searched CPSC recall records for this brand and found none. That is a point-in-time statement, not a guarantee — recall databases update continuously, and the date of our last check is shown in the recall section.

In December 2025 a California Proposition 65 notice named Earth Mama's Baby Mineral Sunscreen Lotion SPF 40 for lead. Proposition 65 is a warning-label law, so the notice alleges that the sunscreen was sold without the state's lead warning; it is not a contamination finding, and the state's register showed no case or settlement on it as of October 2026. It is the reason we grade the brand acceptable rather than recommended: a recommended grade here needs no such notice on a brand's own products in the last three years. (Updated October 2026: this page previously graded the brand recommended.)

One calm note of caution: "organic" and "herbal" do not mean allergen-free. Several Earth Mama products are built on botanical ingredients, which are still allergens for some children. If your family manages eczema or allergies, read the specific product's ingredient list, and check with your pediatrician the way you would for any new product.
