What this page covers

Caudalie is a French skincare brand founded in 1995 by Mathilde and Bertrand Thomas in the Bordeaux wine region. The idea took shape on the family vineyard at Château Smith Haut Lafitte, where Professor Joseph Vercauteren told the couple about the antioxidant properties of grape-seed polyphenols. That direction became the foundation of the brand and its approach to vinotherapy, which now shapes both its formulas and its spas.

The brand builds its formulas around grapevine-derived actives: grape-seed polyphenols, resveratrol, and viniferine – a patented ingredient from vine sap that Caudalie features in its Vinoperfect line for dark spots. Recognisable products include the Vinoperfect serum, the Beauty Elixir facial mist, and the Premier Cru anti-ageing range, which pairs resveratrol with honokiol from magnolia. Caudalie remains independent and family-owned, and formulates without several ingredients it chooses to exclude.

This page gathers Caudalie products with their INCI broken down ingredient by ingredient. Each component carries an evidence rating (a traffic-light signal and an A–F tier) plus pregnancy safety data. Evigrade is an independent ingredient reference, not a shop and not a source of medical advice: you can see what a product is made of and how individual ingredients look against the research.

Where can I buy Caudalie?

Is Caudalie suitable for sensitive skin?

The brand has ranges aimed at different skin types, including sensitive skin such as Vinosource. Tolerance depends on the individual product and personal reactivity. The catalogue on this page shows the full INCI, so you can check for fragrance, alcohols and other ingredients that more often trigger reactions.
