Pipette safety review
Founded 2019 · Westport, Connecticut (registered office of Pipette, LLC, at the address of its owner Windsong Global) · Part of Belle Brands, LLC
Our verdict
RecommendedPipette is a fragrance-free baby and family skincare brand, and it is recommended on one certification we read on the certifier's own register. EWG's Skin Deep database lists 39 Pipette products, and every product on the first page of that listing carries the EWG VERIFIED mark, among them Baby Lotion (Fragrance Free), Baby Shampoo & Wash (Fragrance Free), Baby Wipes, Mineral Sunscreen Lotion SPF 50 and Calming Balm. EWG VERIFIED is a review of a named product's fully disclosed formula against EWG's own ingredient criteria, in a program brands apply and pay to join; it covers the products that carry the mark, not everything with the brand's name on it, and it is not a regulator's finding. We found no recall naming Pipette in openFDA or at CPSC as of 2026-10-12, no California Proposition 65 notice naming it, and no federal case captioned against Pipette or its owner. Two other listings are real and are not what the grade rests on: Leaping Bunny's guide lists Pipette as certified since 2025, which is about animal testing, and the National Eczema Association's Seal of Acceptance directory lists five Pipette products, which is a skin-tolerance seal for eczema-prone skin rather than a certification of a product's contents. One limit belongs beside all of this. This is a brand under new ownership: it was launched by Amyris in 2019, sold out of Amyris's bankruptcy in December 2023 and now sits in a holding company formed in 2024, so the record we searched is short under the current owner. SafeMama does not currently list a Pipette product, so look for the EWG VERIFIED mark on the specific product you are buying.
- Best for
- Fragrance-free baby lotion, wash and wipes for a reader who wants products that carry the EWG VERIFIED mark on EWG's own listing; five Pipette products are also in the National Eczema Association's directory.
- Skip if
- You want a long track record under one owner — the brand was sold out of its former owner's bankruptcy in December 2023 — or you are assuming the EWG VERIFIED mark covers everything with the Pipette name. It is given product by product, so check the one you are buying.

Company facts
- What they make
- baby, skincare, sunscreen
- Where it's made
- Pipette launched in September 2019 as a baby and family skincare line incubated by Amyris, Inc., built around Amyris's sugarcane-derived squalane. Amyris filed for Chapter 11 in 2023 and sold its consumer brands at auction; trade press reported in December 2023 that HRB Brands (High Ridge Brands) bought Pipette for $1.75 million, and in February 2024 that the investment firm Windsong Global had acquired JVN Hair and Pipette and formed a holding company, Belle Brands LLC, to house them. Windsong's own site lists Pipette, Belle Brands and High Ridge Brands among its investments, which is how the two buyer names fit together. Pipette's privacy policy says the site is owned and operated by Pipette, LLC, with its registered office at 15 Riverside Ave, Westport, Connecticut — Windsong's headquarters address. FDA label filings moved from "Amyris, Inc" to "Pipette LLC" as labeler; one, for an aerosol mineral sunscreen, names Bell International Laboratories as the establishment. Where the rest is made is not stated on the filings we read.

Safety breakdown
EWG's Skin Deep database, read on EWG's own site on 2026-10-12, lists 39 Pipette products, and every product on the first page of that listing carries the EWG VERIFIED mark, including Baby Lotion (Fragrance Free), Baby Shampoo & Wash (Fragrance Free), Baby Wipes, Mineral Sunscreen Lotion SPF 50 and Calming Balm; the later pages were not read product by product. EWG VERIFIED is a program a brand applies and pays to join, and the mark is given to individual products after a review of the full disclosed formula; Skin Deep's hazard scores are a separate rating and are not the certification. Leaping Bunny's own guide lists Pipette, "Certified since 2025"; that is a no-animal-testing listing. The National Eczema Association's Seal of Acceptance directory lists five Pipette products: Baby Lotion Fragrance Free, Baby Shampoo and Wash Fragrance Free, Calming Balm, Eczema Lotion and Skin Rescue Spray; that is a skin-tolerance seal for eczema-prone skin, not a certification of a product's contents. We found no recall naming Pipette in openFDA (drug, device and food enforcement, searched by product description "Pipette" and "Pipette LLC" and by recalling firm Pipette, Amyris, Amyris Clean Beauty, Belle Brands, HRB Brands and Windsong; the device hits for the word are laboratory pipettes from unrelated companies) or at CPSC as of 2026-10-12. No 60-day notice under California's Proposition 65 warning-label law names Pipette as a product or as an alleged violator. Four 2024 diethanolamine notices name Amyris, Inc. or Amyris Clean Beauty, Inc., but over Rose Inc, Stripes and JVN products — other brands from the same former owner, not Pipette. The brand's former owner, Amyris, Inc., filed for Chapter 11 in Delaware on 9 August 2023 (case 23-11131, closed 16 December 2024) and Pipette was sold out of it; that is a fact about ownership, not about the products. No federal case is captioned against Pipette, Pipette LLC or Belle Brands, and a full-text search for Pipette alongside Amyris returned only that bankruptcy, related bankruptcy filings and securities suits, as of 2026-10-12.
