Heritage & History
California Baby was founded in 1995 by Jessica Iclisoy, who began researching and formulating safer baby skincare in 1990 when she was pregnant with her first child. Frustrated by the synthetic fragrance, harsh preservatives, and undisclosed ingredients in conventional baby products, Iclisoy spent five years developing plant-based alternatives before launching at her local health food store. The brand's commitment was simple from day one: every ingredient must be safe enough that you'd be comfortable with your baby putting it in their mouth.
The company's growth led to a major investment: California Baby built its own solar-powered, FDA-registered, certified organic manufacturing facility in Los Angeles. A 100-acre certified organic farm in Santa Barbara grows the botanical ingredients — calendula, lavender, and other herbs — that make their way into the product line. This vertical integration from farm to finished product is rare in the personal care industry and gives California Baby direct control over ingredient quality at every stage.
Made in Los Angeles, California
California Baby's Los Angeles manufacturing facility produces the full line of baby and family personal care products: shampoos, body washes, lotions, creams, sunscreens, and bug sprays. The facility is FDA-registered and certified organic — meeting the same standards applied to USDA organic food production. Solar panels power the facility, reducing the carbon footprint of domestic manufacturing.
The Super Sensitive sunscreen has been EWG's top-rated mineral sunscreen for 14+ consecutive years. The active ingredient is titanium dioxide, which creates a physical UV barrier without being absorbed into the skin. The plant-based shampoo and body wash formulas use no sulfate detergents, synthetic fragrances, parabens, or 1,4-dioxane — cleaning gently with plant-derived surfactants and organic botanical extracts. For parents who prioritize clean, verifiable ingredients in their baby's personal care products, California Baby's Los Angeles-made formulas offer unmatched transparency and a 30-year track record of safety.
