The world of L’Erbolario

Since 1978, we have drawn inspiration from nature, creating outstanding cosmetics enriched with plant-based ingredients. Our perfumes are inspired by plants, flowers, fruits and woods, and those same ingredients are what make our face, body and hair products so distinctive.

Our history is all about love and passion for nature.

Our origins

L’Erbolario was founded in 1978 as a small, artisan herbalist shop in Lodi. The company’s founders, Daniela Villa and Franco Bergamaschi, were a young couple who shared a passion for herbalism.

Tradition and Innovation

We combine the age-old knowledge of herbal tradition with modern technology to create cosmetics rich in innovative, high-performance, natural-origin ingredients.

100% Made in Italy

We offer a wide range of phytocosmetics for the face, body and hair, formulated and manufactured at our production site, set within the greenery of the Adda Sud Regional Park, just outside Lodi.

Our history

The botanical garden

Marsh Mallow, Absinthium, Calendula, Tarragon, Lavender, Rosemary and Sage… these are just some of the medicinal plants we grow and transform into extracts and distilled waters – unique, distinctive ingredients in our cosmetics.
