It was during the grape harvest at Château Smith Haut Lafitte that the founders of the Caudalie natural cosmetics laboratory met Professor Joseph Vercauteren, head of the laboratory at the University of Pharmacy in Bordeaux. He shared with them one of his discoveries, which was that OPCs (oligomeric-procyanidolics) extracted from grape seeds contain the most powerful antioxidants in the plant kingdom. These natural active ingredients are therefore more effective than vitamin E against free radicals, which are responsible for skin ageing.

The skin is subjected to daily aggressions: pollution, stress, smoking, unbalanced diet. These aggressions generate free radicals, responsible for 80% of the signs of skin ageing. Grape polyphenols, used for over 20 years at the heart of Caudalie skin care products, defend the skin against these aggressions, like an anti-oxidant shield.

The Cosm'éthique of the Caudalie laboratory: greener & more committed

When formulating our products, the Caudalie laboratory favors natural, environmentally-friendly active ingredients and seeks out the most innovative natural active ingredients:

Patented vine extracts from French vineyards (Bordeaux, Champagne, Burgundy).
Certified organicgrape water.
Plant oils (grape, fair-trade argan, borage, evening primrose, hibiscus, sesame, sweet almond, musk rose...)
Natural plant extracts with various cosmetic virtues (sage, chamomile, flax, verbena, sweet mint, rosemary, cassia, olive squalane...)
Essential oils (carrot, lavender, lemon, neroli, palmarosa, peppermint, petit grain, rose, rosemary, sandalwood)
Plant butters (fair-trade shea, apricot, avocado, grape, mango...)

The Caudalie laboratory uses a minimum of preservatives (all products have the Ecocert label) and is committed to not using certain controversial synthetic ingredients (parabens, phenoxyethanol, mineral oils such as vaseline or kerosene, sodium laureth sulfate, phthalates or raw materials of animal origin).

Caudalie has its own natural formulation laboratory located in Gidy, and works in collaboration with Harvard Medical School and Dr. David Sinclair on the patenting of anti-ageing products.

The company follows a strict "Cosm-ethics" formulation charter, notably banning the use of phthalates, phenoxyethanol, mineral oils, parabens, sulfates, synthetic colorants and ingredients of animal origin.

Caudalie formulates and markets face and body care products. The brand favors natural, environmentally-friendly active ingredients and the benefits of vines and grapes.

The vine is one of the first plant species on earth. It is endowed with incredible strength, enabling it to withstand the ravages of cold, wind and rain and live up to 120 years. The origin of its secret lies in a unique natural compound, Resveratrol, a substance that the vine produces to protect itself. Imagine this marvel on your skin!

The Heritage of the Vine and the Caudalie Philosophy

Caudalie draws its essence from the world of wine. It was in the heart of the family vineyards that the founders discovered the exceptional properties of active ingredients extracted from vines and grapes. This encounter with a renowned researcher, Professor Vercauteren, led to the identification of grape-seed polyphenols, one of the most powerful antioxidants known, capable of protecting the skin from the free radicals responsible for premature aging.

Since then, the brand has developed unique expertise in vinotherapy, using active ingredients such as Viniferin, Resveratrol andOrganic Grape Water to meet the specific needs of every skin type. With a philosophy focused on naturalness and innovation, Caudalie offers skincare products that respect both the skin and the planet.
