Plant-based cosmetics

Calendars & Publications

Since 1978, we have been dedicated to bringing you the very best that nature has to offer with our exceptional range of plant-based cosmetics. Our perfumes are inspired by plants, flowers, fruits and woods, and these very same ingredients are what make our face, hair and body products so unique.
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.
Drawing on ancient herbal traditions, we use modern technology to create innovative, high-performance, natural origin cosmetics.
All of our phytocosmetics are formulated and prepared at our production site immersed in the greenery of the Adda Sud Natural Park, just outside Lodi.
Marsh Mallow, Wormwood, Marigold, Tarragon, Lavender, Rosemary and Sage: these are just a few of the medicinal plants that we grow and turn into extracts and distilled waters, the unique and special ingredients of our cosmetics.
We’ll tell you about our world through the words of the people who work passionately every day and share our values. The same values you embrace by choosing L’Erbolario.
The plant extracts and distilled water produced at our Extraction Laboratory are the key ingredients in all our cosmetics, which are formulated and prepared by our Research & Development Laboratory.
With 4,800 retail stores in Italy, 200 franchise stores – including 14 abroad* – and a successful distribution network in 45 countries worldwide, L’Erbolario has become a brand synonymous with an unmistakable style that celebrates natural beauty.
