Empowering Women Locally and Globally 

Organic skincare company Four Truffles may be a small business, but founder Ana Soriano has made a huge commitment to giving back. For starters, she buys eco-friendly argan oil and shea butter for her bodycare products from female-owned cooperatives in North and West Africa. “Cultivating these ingredients is a major source of income for women there,” says Soriano. And even though her Palos Verdes Peninsula, California-based company is a start-up, Soriano donates 10 percent of net sales to local and international charities that help disadvantaged women and children. “It’s definitely a financial challenge for us to do this but I’m a big believer in paying it forward,” she says.

GET INVOLVED

Four Truffles donates 10 percent of all product sales directly to women’s and children’s charities, you help every time you make a purchase. We also donate additional monies that we collect via promotional sales proceeds directly to a different charity every quarter.

We like to think of our Four Truffles customers as people who like to look good, do good and feel good.  We believe beauty is found inside and out and that you deserve products that perform for you inside and out.

Every dollar adds-up, especially internationally, so a little goes a long way. We like to imagine that with your support, we’re making someone’s life just a little better today than it was yesterday. We are eternal optimists and our beliefs are strong even when the world may seem bleak.

Palos Verdes Juniors Women’s Club

In the United States we are a major supporter of Palos Verdes Junior Women’s Club whose outreach to women and children in crisis is tied to the local community.

Ana, our Founder, has been a member and hands-on activist with Palos Verdes Junior Women’s Club for years. She was drawn to their hands-on support and dedication to helping women and children in her own backyard. Throughout the year, they hold multiple fundraising activities with two major events during the Holiday season and Spring. The local outreach, assistance and benefits provide community enrichment, critical needs, crisis prevention and intervention, support, public services and scholarships that make a huge impact.

Bridges of Hope, South Africa | Visit the Bridges of Hope Website

Since hope is one of the “four truffles” it is only fitting that we chose this powerful organization that has brought hope for the sick, hope for the dying, hope for orphans, hope for widows, hope for gang members, hope for the young, and hope for the elderly with a model of community transformation that works!

We love that Bridges of Hope offers long‐term, self‐sustaining solutions to at-risk women and children who are suffering. We specifically donate money to sponsor orphans to attend boarding school as we believe that providing an education helps opens the door to a child’s hope and increased odds for a better future.

NLC, Haiti | Visit the NLC Website

We first discovered New Life to Children on Imagine This! TV and felt a tug on our hearts after reading their story. NLC is a grass roots movement that helps rescue children at risk of starvation and enslavement near Port-au-Prince, Haiti and provides them with a safe house.

Don Skow heads up a team who has been doing incredible work with the Haitians for nearly a decade. We reached out to Don and offered a donation of body care products as part of the basic essentials needed for the women and children. In a country already plagued with the nations highest poverty rates we feel that every effort helps. Our goal is to raise funds to help build homes for the families by donating the proceeds from our “Make Your Mark” promotion.

It is one of the very few body scrubs that’s formulated with the best and sought after beauty oil in the market place – Argan Oil.  New Beauty also talked about our Earth Apple Scent Journey -  The sweet, simple scent from the first bite of an apple awakens skin and senses to a fresh start. The fruity Earth Apple aroma, ideal for both men and women, is known to evoke energy and feelings of love, happiness and success.

Four Truffles is so pleased that NewBeauty discovered our Body Smoother at Glow.com and chose to write about it on their uber popular site!

I chose the brand name, Four Truffles, to represent the philosophy and function of my treasure hunt.  Spiritually, the four treasures represent inner beauty – Love, Hope, Faith & Eternity, while outer beauty is represented and attainable from the natural 4T PDN Complex™ we use in our products.

My team and I decided to continue our treasure truffling, and as we find these little gems, no matter what they might be, we will be sure to share them with you for pure enjoyment and pleasure.

Let’s get started and we hope you’ll pass them along to someone you think will treasure them too!

Weather has been great now that it’s spring, so we’re back to our routine of walking our daughter to school.  We save money on gas and help limit pollution from driving our car.  It’s also a great time to enjoy nature: My daughter stops and smells the flowers & listens to the birds sing.  We enjoy our trails and the bluffs while simultaneously getting a good work out.  And yes, the husband is very conscious about keeping our community clean.  We never end our walks without a bag filled with litter…

Share some of your favorite routines that help the environment!

It’s feels good to know that here at Four Truffles, every day is Earth Day.  Doing good and giving back is built into our DNA and we’re proud to build our business based on this solid philosophy.

One of the things we like to say is that we’re a brand that Celebrates  Women Helping Women.  We believe that women are heart centered creatures and that we are born with an innate sense of family, community and unity.  No matter what socio-economic background we come from we inherently strive to keep our families together.  If we are to make this world a better place, it has to start with family.

Please see our short documentary filmed in Morocco with the Berber Tribe and their precious argan oil.  It’s a beautiful story of women striving to keep their families together.   This is our first documentary of our Women 4 Women Journey.  We hope you enjoy it and tell us what Earth Day means to you.

Making everyday Earth Day,
