What are White Truffles? What Are They Doing In Skin-Care?

White Truffles are delicious, but also loaded with anti-aging peptides, essential fatty acids, B vitamins such as vitamin B3 - known for skin repair properties, vitamin B6 – known for its hydrating properties and vitamin B12 – known for preventing hyperpigmentation and helping to repair the skin. White truffles also contain a good amount of vitamin C to boost radiance and even skin tone. The ceramides, found in truffles, are lipids that strengthen the skin’s barrier and retain moisture.

White Truffles are also loaded with amino acids that contain anti-inflammatory and anti-aging properties.

Earth’s white treasure contains a special enzyme called “Superoxide Dismutase”, which actively repairs the skin and prevents the appearance of wrinkles.

On average, White Truffles are priced around $8,000 per pound and are wild harvested in the Alba region of northern Italy. Truffles grow a few inches underneath the soil in symbiosis with certain species of hardwood trees and are only in season from late October through December. Specially trained dogs are used to sniff out white truffles, but global warming has made fewer and fewer white truffles available each year, making them a true rarity.

And that’s why Sokörpe skincare products are so much more potent than department store brands!
