Once upon a 'vine', winemaking couple Mathilde and Bertrand Thomas met a French professor who held the secret to a skincare breakthrough: the grapeseeds being carelessly cast aside post-harvest contain powerful anti-aging properties. Filled with free-radical-flouting polyphenols, they're the A-listers of the antioxidant world. That knowledge led the Thomases to pop the 'cork' on the Caudalie brand in 1995. Caudalie's own patented stabilized polyphenol is at the core of its formulas, which leave your skin is as smooth and even as that of a grape. We'll drink to that!
