About the Brand: 

Caudalie is a French skincare brand celebrated for its commitment to natural ingredients and its innovative use of grape-derived compounds. The brand's rich history is closely tied to its founders, Mathilde and Bertrand Thomas, and their passion for harnessing the benefits of grapes and the vineyard.

1993: The story of Caudalie began in 1993 when Mathilde and Bertrand Thomas, both from the Bordeaux wine region in France, met Professor Joseph Vercauteren from the University of Pharmacy in Bordeaux. During their conversation, the professor mentioned the antioxidant properties of grape seeds. This pivotal moment sparked the idea of using grape-derived polyphenols in skincare.

1995: The Thomases partnered with Professor Vercauteren and established Caudalie, deriving the name from "Caudalie," a French term used to describe the measurement of the time the flavor of a wine lingers on the palate. This name is symbolic of the brand's focus on the lasting benefits of grape-derived ingredients.

1996: Caudalie introduced their first skincare product, the Vinexpert dietary supplements, which featured grape seed polyphenols. These supplements were intended to improve skin's radiance and overall health from the inside out.

1999: Caudalie launched its first skincare product range featuring grape polyphenols. These products aimed to provide antioxidant protection, fight signs of aging, and promote healthier skin.

2000: The brand's Vinoperfect Radiance Serum was released, which later became one of their most iconic products known for its ability to combat dark spots and improve skin's radiance.

2006: Caudalie took its commitment to natural ingredients a step further by establishing "Cosm-ethics," a set of eco-friendly principles that guided the brand's formulation process. They also partnered with 1% for the Planet to donate a portion of their revenue to environmental causes.

2012: Caudalie opened "Les Sources de Caudalie," a luxurious spa and hotel located among the vineyards of Château Smith Haut Lafitte in Bordeaux. This establishment allowed visitors to experience Caudalie's products and the benefits of the vine firsthand.

Present Day: Caudalie has expanded its product range to encompass a wide variety of skincare, including cleansers, moisturizers, serums, and more, all formulated with natural ingredients and grape-derived polyphenols. The brand is globally recognized for its commitment to eco-friendly and sustainable practices in both its product development and packaging.

Caudalie's rich history is a testament to its dedication to harnessing the power of grapes and natural ingredients in skincare. Today, it continues to be a leading brand in the industry, offering effective and eco-friendly skincare solutions that prioritize the well-being of both the skin and the environment.
