10 Good Reasons
to choose L’Erbolario

L’Erbolario has always stood for nature-inspired beauty that is 100% Made in Italy.

Here are ten good reasons to choose us!

100% Made in Italy

Because our phytocosmetics are 100% Made in Italy and are formulated and manufactured in accordance with Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) guidelines (Certificate No. 139201-2013-AQ-ITA-DNV).

L’Erbolario has never outsourced any stage of production to other countries.

Guaranteed quality

Because the efficacy and safety of our products are assured through rigorous clinical testing supervised by the University of Pavia.

We ensure product quality through a comprehensive set of operating procedures and controls covering every stage of cosmetic development and production, from selecting raw materials through manufacturing and packaging.

These form part of a structured system that guides our decisions in line with clearly defined internal standards that are constantly monitored.

In-house plant extracts

Because at our Extracts Laboratory, we produce more than 350 extracts and aromatic distilled waters directly from the finest plants, organically grown wherever possible.

Producing these extracts ourselves gives our cosmetics their unique character.

On the side of animals

Our production site in the Adda Sud Regional Park, is surrounded by approximately 200,000 m² of green space and is home to more than 30,000 trees, shrubs and herbaceous plants.

We protect this natural environment through ecological and landscape restoration projects.

Much of it is generated by our own 1,677 kWp solar installation, while the remainder is purchased with Guarantees of Origin certifying its renewable provenance.

Benefit Corporation

Because from the very beginning we have chosen to promote cosmetics built on the quality of plant-derived raw materials and on the variety and excellence of our products.
