DISCOVER THE POWER OF NATURE WITH TRUFFLE EXTRACT.
There remains a need for effective and scientifically supported topically applied cosmetic compositions that provide Anti-aging or Rejuvenating benefits to the skin and hair using Natural Ingredients as an active agent.
Long before truffles became the preserve of Michelin-starred kitchens, they were surrounded by myth, medicine and beauty ritual. Ancient Greek and Roman writers associated these hidden “black diamonds” with vitality, luxury and even divine origin — treasures formed beneath the soil, close to the roots of trees.
Today, modern cosmetic research is beginning to explain why Tuber melanosporum has attracted such fascination. Naturally rich in amino acids, minerals, sugars and antioxidant compounds, black truffle extract has been studied for its ability to support skin exposed to environmental stress, including UV-related oxidative stress, and to influence cellular energy markers such as ATP.
At Truffe Périgord, we use both oil-based and water-based truffle extractions, carefully prepared over several days, to capture different qualities of this remarkable fungus. For us, truffle is not a passing trend ingredient — it is part of our landscape, our farm and every formula in the range.
Pure. Powerful. Proven.
MEET OUR CEO: DUGGY
A super cuddly companion with a nose that is 100,000 times as powerful as our own, combined with nostrils that can sense independently of each other, it goes without saying that our family and our business would be lost without him.
All of our Truffles are hunted out in our own truffière set amongst the rolling hills of the Périgord with the aid of a very clever little nose. This nose belongs to our beautiful Lagotto Romagnolo 'Duggy'. Only the freshest Organic Périgord Truffles (Tuber Melanosporum) are used alongside the finest natural ingredients. As a result, our products are gentle and safe enough even for him to use.
BLACK TRUFFLE COSMETICS
mycorhizienne
A mycorrhiza is a symbiotic association between a fungus and a plant.
In exchange for a place to live, the truffle fungus searches out and gathers water and nutrients that it then shares with the tree. The fungus collects nutrients that the tree alone would be unable to find. Over 80% of all plants on Earth form relationships with mycorrhizal fungi and without them most of these would die. When it comes to digging deep for skin feeding nutrients, mushrooms come first , plants come second. And, as truffles are some of the most nutritious fungi available it would appear there is little competition out there. It is time that the Emperor of the mycological world, the Truffle, is properly given its moment in the skincare limelight.
Nutrition
Truffles are packed with nutritional goodies. They contain masses of amino acids which aid collagen production, stacks of fatty acids for deep skin hydration, excellent anti-inflammatory capabilities that aid at repairing the skin barrier; numerous vitamins and minerals including vitamin C for reducing hyper-pigmentation, B12 for preventing hyper pigmentation, magnesium and iron. There are also high concentrations of the powerful anti oxidant superoxide dismutase and Truffles also have anti bacterial properties. And this is only the ingredients whose benefits are well documented. The world of mushrooms is a mysterious one and it constantly surprises us. It is only a matter of time before we discover the next wonder compound contained within these Black Diamonds of the dirt.
Ancient Practice
It may actually come as a surprise to many that using truffles on our skin is not, in fact, a modern discovery at all. There are countless tales from the Périgord, a beautiful and unspoilt part of South Western France as well as in Italy, where truffle oils and extractions have been touted as anti-aging wonders for generations. Truffles are nutrient-dense riches from the soil. In fact, the truffle is the fruiting body of a network of hyphae and mycorrhizes which have evolved into nutrient super-gatherers. Truffles have the power to reverse damage and protect the skin and hair and with these miracle molecules and it is clear to see why, ever since Roman times, humans have been proclaiming the benefits of taking Truffles, inside and out.
Our PROCESS
When we first think of Truffles, we think of food. The best approach to cooking with Truffles is to use the freshest possible truffles, grown in the finest terroir without the use of any chemicals or fertilizers, harvested at the peak of their maturity and prepared as respectfully as possible to carry as many of the desirable compounds into the final dish. The Truffle demands a support act composed of simple ingredients of the highest quality so that the Truffle can take centre stage in all its glory and prowess. There must be plenty of Truffle; nothing may detract from the Truffle. And thus, working in a cosmetic context, we must take a similar approach, endeavouring to extract everything that we can from these mycological jewels and showcase them in all their glory.
