Scrub

At L’Erbolario, we care about the environment and have never used microplastics in our exfoliant cosmetics, since we always prefer using plant materials such as finely chopped seeds and kernels or Jojoba wax microspheres.
In November 2017, we were one of the first companies eager to sign the petition of the Italian environmentalist associations Legambiente and Marevivo, thanks to which the Italian law that will ban microplastics in rinse-off cosmetics from 2020 was approved.
The reason for our choice? These small plastic particles, which are often contained in cosmetics such as scrubs or toothpastes, are so tiny that they pass through filters and, therefore, flow directly into the sea, thus becoming a major source of pollution. They are also easily ingested by fish, crustaceans and molluscs, which are then eaten by us, with serious consequences for our health!
