At the heart of the vineyard from a family estate, emerges a beautiful brand. The story follows husband and wife, Mathilde and Bertrand Thomas, who were living and running wine tasting tours on their family vineyard estate. Fate was in their hands when they crossed paths with Professor Joseph Vercauteren who at the time was conducting a study on Polyphenols (found in grapes). After the wine tasting session, he called the couple out for meaninglessly throwing away ‘precious treasures’. “A grape seed holds the most powerful antioxidants created by nature” he exclaimed! Baffled, the couple realised that their vineyard possessed exceptional powers for the skin. They registered a patent for extracting and stabilising grape seed Polyphenols, and thus the Caudalie brand was born.
Now Caudalie is one of the most recognised brands in French pharmacies, with a line of natural and antioxidant rich skincare, drawing its powers from grapes and vines to deliver powerful healing and age defying properties. They are seen in the most recognised magazines and celebrities like Victoria Beckham, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, Cara Delevigne, Kendall Jenner and Jennifer Aniston and known to be great fans of the brand.
