Background briefing
Caudalie was founded in 1995 and is owned by Bertrand and Mathilde Thomas.

Main products and services
Caudalie supplies beauty products that are not only effective but also natural and luxurious. The company harnesses the unparalleled anti-oxidant power of grapevine polyphenols, offering the grape’s ultimate gift.

Caudalie creates powerful, luxurious skin solutions for all ages and skin types. Best sellers include Beauty Elixir – the make-up artists’ must-have – which boosts skin throughout the day, and Divine Oil – a multi-use miracle oil. Divine Oil will keep your hair and body feeling exquisite.

We’ve always favored natural ingredients, and since we were established, have never used paraffin, mineral oils or synthetic coloring in our formulae.

Neither do we use parabens, phthalates, sodium laureth sulfate and phenoxyethanol in any of our products. Everyday, Caudalie seeks high-performance “green” active ingredients to incorporate into its products.

Caudalie has been part of “1% for the Planet” movement since 2012 and donates 1 per cent of its worldwide sales to charities that work to protect the environment. As a result, all paper and plastic used in packaging are recycled.
