Caudalie


 
 

The Caudalie story began in 1993 when two college sweethearts, Mathilde and Bertrand Thomas, took a summer job at her family winery in Bordeaux and met Dr. Vercauteren, the world's leading expert on grapevine polyphenols. The professor revealed the extraordinary antioxidant powers of the vine, inspiring the couple to create the world's leading vinotherapy skincare line. Caudalie is the first beauty company to use (and patent) stabilized grape seed polyphenols in skincare and steers clear of parabens, phenoxyethanol, mineral oils, and artificial colorings to protect your skin and the environment. Balancing science and nature with a touch of luxury, Caudalie is always on the cutting edge of antioxidant technology. Uncork the formulas and let your skin drink up the benefits.

At the center of Caudalie's philosophy for beautiful skin is the famous "French Paradox," the belief that the French (despite a diet of cheese and chocolate) have a remarkably low rate of cardiovascular disease thanks to the powerful antioxidants found in the wine they drink. With that thought in mind, Caudalie developed formulas in close collaboration with researchers at the Pharmacy of Bordeaux to stabilize and patent the vine's beneficial polyphenol molecules to deliver the same antioxidant protection to your skin.

From the self-sufficient system of the vines, Caudalie has just the polyphenol-packed regimen to remedy your most challenging complexion issues or enhance any skin type. Whether you want to restore vitality or balance combination skin, one of Caudalie's targeted skincare lineups—all of which are ripe with grape-derived antioxidants—will make your skin look and feel de-vine.
