The Witcher
Albedo is an additional, or secondary substance which is present in some alchemical ingredients in addition to the primary substance. All alchemical ingredients contain one of six basic substances: aether, hydragenum, quebrith, rebis, vermilion, and vitriol. There are also three additional substances: albedo, nigredo, and rubedo. Any given ingredient may contain only a single basic substance and potentially one additional, or secondary substance.
Albedo potions: If all ingredients used to create a given potion contain albedo as an additional substance, the potion created reduces the toxicity of any subsequently imbibed potions for 1 hour, which is not the entire duration of most potion effects, but very helpful with Blizzard.
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt
Unlike previous games, Albedo is not simply part of other alchemical ingredients, it must be crafted.

Trivia
- In alchemy, the albedo means "purification" of the matter, and is the second step Magnum opus process.
