Caudalie - Effective & Clean Face & Body Cosmetics

The story of Caudalie began in Bordeaux, in the vineyards of Château Smith Haut Lafitte, the estate of brand co-founder Mathilde's parents. During the grape harvest, Mathilde and her husband Bertrand met Professor Joseph Vercauteren, head of the research laboratory at the Bordeaux Faculty of Pharmacy. They learnt from him that grape seeds contain the most powerful antioxidants in the plant world. With this knowledge, the first Caudalie cosmetic products were developed and launched on the French market.

In addition to their cosmetics brand, Mathilde and Bertrand are creating an exclusive vinotherapy spa in the vineyards, developing a cosm'ethic that offers the most natural yet effective formulas and writing a book with practical vinotherapeutic beauty tips "à la francaise".
