CAUDALIE began in 1993, when a young couple named Mathilde and Bertrand Thomas met the eminent Dr. Vercauteren from the Faculty of Pharmaceutics at Bordeaux University on the estate of Château Smith Haut Lafitte. As President of the Worldwide Polyphenol Group, Dr. Vercauteren had discovered that the grape seeds discarded at the end of the grape harvest contained powerful anti-aging properties.

He found that grape seed polyphenols contain priceless benefits for the skin. They are rich in anti-oxidants, and have an incredible capacity to fight the aging effects of free radicals. This free-radical protection is unequalled in the plant world. When this was discovered, CAUDALIE, a synthesis of science and the protective power of nature, was born.

CAUDALIE, the pioneer in vine-based active substances, has become a favorite of celebrities, the press, and consumers. From revolutionary products to VINOTHERAPIE spas, CAUDALIE has claimed its place as a leader in age-defying skin care.
