French grape-derived skincare

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.

Caudalie is an independent French brand founded in 1995, known for skincare built on grape polyphenols, resveratrol and viniferine. Whether a product suits you depends on its specific formula. This page shows the INCI of each item and an evidence-based ingredient breakdown, so you can judge by the formula rather than the marketing.
Caudalie is sold on its official site caudalie.com, in pharmacies and beauty retailers, and through the brand's own boutiques. Evigrade is not a shop and does not link to purchase – it only breaks down what the products contain.
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.
Viniferine is a patented brand ingredient derived from vine sap that Caudalie uses in its Vinoperfect line and links to work on dark spots. Ingredient cards on Evigrade cover actives like this with an evidence rating.
