Caudalie – Where the Power of the Vine Meets Skincare Science
Founded in France in 1995 by Mathilde and Bertrand Thomas, Caudalie is a pioneering French skincare brand that combines the extraordinary properties of the grapevine with advanced scientific research to create effective, sensorial and nature-inspired beauty solutions.
The story began in the vineyards of Château Smith Haut Lafitte, in Bordeaux, where a chance encounter with Professor Joseph Vercauteren in 1993 revealed the remarkable antioxidant potential of grape seeds. Inspired by this discovery, the founders launched their first three skincare products enriched with grape-seed polyphenols, laying the foundations for a new approach to botanical skincare.
Since then, Caudalie has continued to explore the potential of the vine, developing innovative ingredients such as Resveratrol, valued in anti-ageing skincare, and Viniferine, a patented grapevine-derived ingredient used to improve the appearance of dark spots and promote a more even, radiant complexion.
Over the years, the brand has expanded its expertise into a comprehensive portfolio of skincare solutions, including Vinoperfect for radiance and dark spots, Resveratrol-Lift for firmness and visible signs of ageing, Premier Cru for advanced anti-ageing care, Vinopure for blemish-prone skin and Vinosun Protect for daily sun protection.
Beyond skincare, Caudalie is also recognised for its commitment to responsible beauty, combining carefully selected ingredients, environmentally conscious initiatives and sensorial formulations inspired by the French art of living.
From its iconic Beauty Elixir to its innovative facial and body care collections, Caudalie celebrates a unique vision of beauty where botanical inspiration, scientific innovation and everyday pleasure come together.
