Born in the heart of the Bordeaux region, on the Château Smith Haut Lafitte wine-growing estate, Caudalie is a fully independent, family-owned French skincare brand that draws its expertise from active ingredients derived from the vine and grapes. Caudalie was established in 1995, after founders Mathilde and Bertrand Thomas met Professor Vercauteren, Laboratory Director of the Pharmacy University of Bordeaux and specialist in Polyphenols, natural active ingredients derived from grape seeds with extraordinary antioxidant powers. Two years of research later, a patent was filed and the first Caudalie skincare products were created. Caudalie’s mission? To become the most effective clean and natural brand, and the most environmentally-friendly beauty brand.

EFFECTIVENESS, OUR PRIORITY

Effectiveness has always been at the heart of what we do. The majority of our products are made using innovative and patented ingredients, developed in partnership with the best anti-ageing research laboratories such as Harvard Medical School and Dr David Sinclair, with whom we have collaborated since 2013. The research we have undertaken together has led to the discovery of unique ingredients and exclusive patents at the cutting edge of anti-ageing innovation, for which Caudalie is a pioneer brand in their use.
