From Our Farm to Your Skin: The Journey of a Truffle

Beneath the dappled light of a quiet forest in the Périgord, something extraordinary begins to stir. Not seen, not heard—only felt by those who know where to look. This is the secret life of the black winter truffle, tuber melanosporum, one of nature’s rarest and most exquisite offerings. And it all begins in the soil.

At our small family farm nestled in the heart of southern France, truffles aren’t just a crop—they’re part of the landscape, the rhythm, and the story. For generations, these subterranean treasures have flourished here, nurtured by the region’s unique blend of bioactive limestone soil, filtered aquifer waters, and sun-kissed air. It is a place where wildness meets wisdom.

Each winter, Duggy, our Lagotto Romagnolo truffle hound, pads gently around the trees. His trained nose, guided by an innate instinct, seeks out the hidden pulse beneath the trees. Where others see only leaf litter and moss, he finds gold. With a soft paw, he shows us the way—never digging too deep, never disturbing the delicate ecosystem.


This is how we forage: gently, sustainably, and with reverence.

Once harvested, the finest truffles are carefully selected and individually wrapped, ready for their next chapter. They journey from our little farm to Southern England, where expert hands slice and prepare them for infusion. In the cosmetics lab, our wizards work their magic, steeping the truffle slices in distilled water and pure jojoba oil to unlock their potent goodness. These precious infusions are then blended with nature’s finest companions: rosehip oil, jojoba, juniper, paracress, and shea butter—each chosen for its hydrating, nourishing, and rejuvenating properties. Together, they form a luxurious cream that doesn’t just care for your skin but transforms it.

But the story doesn’t end there. Within each truffle lies a quiet power—rich in antioxidants, amino acids, and natural fatty acids that support skin renewal, hydration, and vitality. We take this wild potency and distill it into something you can hold in your hand: our truffle-infused skincare.

From spore to soil to serum, every step honours the source. No synthetic shortcuts. No unnecessary additives. Just the earthy alchemy of forest and fungi, made radiant by time.

In a world of mass production, we choose to work slowly. To harvest thoughtfully. To create skincare that doesn’t just work, but remembers where it came from.


Because when you nourish your skin with the truffle’s gifts, you’re not just caring for your complexion.

You’re tapping into something older, deeper, and beautifully alive.
