FSS White Truffle Extract
Preserved with Leucidal Liquid
Considered the “Queen of All Truffles,” Tuber magnatum, or the White Truffle is one of earth’s rarest delicacies. Ounce for ounce, White Truffles were once more expensive than Platinum. It is no surprise this rarity was coveted by nobility in ancient times as a rich, aromatic product that signified wealth among Mediterranean cultures. Today, the luxurious White Truffle is used in high-end cosmetic and personal care applications to provide strengthening, nourishing and moisturizing benefits.
The White Truffle hails from the Langhe and Montferrat sects of the Piedmont region of northern Italy. Cream flesh encapsulates the truffle, which can reach 12 centimeters in diameter when fruiting during autumn, but are usually much smaller. White truffles often grow symbiotically with oak, hazel, poplar, and beech trees. When sold as a whole truffle, they are considered the most valuable type of truffle on the market, selling for up to $4,500 at the Truffle Fair in Alba, Italy. White Truffle Extract found a place in the personal care industry due to its high concentration of minerals and vitamin B complexes. Vitamin B complexes are essential for the synthesis of proteins within our bodies. Niacin or vitamin B3, is a water-soluble vitamin that plays an essential role in the cellular metabolism and in DNA repair.
Pyridoxine or vitamin B6, aids in the production of red blood cells in the body. It is associated to cardiovascular health and in skin care applications it is capable of preventing flakey scalp and dry, itchy skin. Vitamin B12 is essential for maintaining healthy skin and hair. Deficiencies of this vitamin can cause hyperpigmentation and premature streaks of white in the hair. Vitamin B12 benefits the body by maintaining balance in the nervous system and helping in the DNA repair process.
