d'Alba White truffle first spray serum Peptide

Ingredient analysis and how the ad lines read

Read on 2026-09-10

What is this product?

A 100ml spray serum built for light, all-over hydration rather than a targeted treatment, layering glycereth-26, sorbitol, betaine and glycerin as its main humectants ahead of the white truffle extract the line is named for. One thing is worth flagging before buying on the name alone: despite 'Peptide' sitting in the product's own English name, no entry in its 39-ingredient statement reads as an actual peptide, on either of the two ingredient generations found for this product in this record's material. d'Alba's own claim leans on a vegan label (no certifying body is named for it) and an undisclosed oil-to-serum ratio it calls golden.

What makes it different?

Two things separate the story from the label here. First, the name mismatch: the product is sold as a Peptide edition in its own English name, but the archived 39-entry ingredient statement carries no INCI entry that reads as a peptide, only a single amino acid derivative (sodium palmitoyl proline at 21), and a second ingredient-generation record for the same product id in the collected material does not carry one either. Second, the hydration architecture is layered rather than single-humectant: glycereth-26, sorbitol, betaine and glycerin appear together ahead of the white truffle extract, which is a broader humectant stack than a one-ingredient hero story would suggest, even though none of them carries a disclosed level.

What is in it?

The full ingredient list as the brand publishes it, in the printed order. Each name links to what we know about that ingredient.

This brand publishes its ingredient list in Korean only. Names below are the matching INCI names from the Korean Cosmetic Association ingredient dictionary, except 7 with no dictionary entry, left in Korean.

Key ingredientWorth a closer look

Ingredients with no mark are ones we found nothing notable about, and when marks overlap on one ingredient we show the caution first.

We could not place these in the list above: 해바라기씨오일, 돌콩오일, 아나토씨오일, 토코페릴아세테이트

Did the ad claims hold up?

We checked the one line this product advertises against the ingredient list and public documents. None of them hold up on their own. They are partly right at best.

Each line is quoted as the brand published it, and each one was read on its own against the ingredient list and the documents the brand publishes.
