Everything you need to make the call - who each one is for, and who should skip it.
Go for it if you...
You want a European-style whole-milk formula with HMOs
You're avoiding palm oil and soy specifically
You value independent Purity-Award contaminant testing
You want the cleanest cow's-milk formula with independent contaminant testing
You value an organic, lactose-only recipe with no corn syrup or palm oil
You want breast-milk-style whole milk with DHA and a prebiotic
The main thing to know
The fat blend uses sunflower, coconut and rapeseed oils alongside whole-milk fat; it avoids palm and soy but isn't milk-fat only.
Nara's fat comes from whole milk plus an added organic vegetable-oil blend (no palm, no soy) rather than milk fat alone, a small step below a pure milk-fat formula.
Skip this if you...
You need a goat-milk base
You prefer fat from milk alone with no vegetable oils
You need a goat-milk or hypoallergenic formula
You want fat from milk alone with no added vegetable oils
Neither of these quite what you're looking for?
