 THE STORY OF A MEETING

The history of Les Sources de Caudalie dates back to the 1990s, when Mathilde and Bertrand Thomas, a French couple, discovered the benefits of grape extracts for the skin. Following a fabulous meeting with Professor Joseph Vercauteren of Bordeaux University, they discovered the exceptional antioxidant properties of grapes. From there, they decided to create their own line of grape and wine-based cosmetics. In 1995, Mathilde and Bertrand Thomas opened the first Vinothérapie spa at Château Smith Haut Lafitte, their family wine estate in Martillac, near Bordeaux. The spa was designed to offer innovative beauty treatments using grape extracts and natural wine products, and its success led to the creation of Les Sources de Caudalie hotel in 1999. Over the years, Les Sources de Caudalie has become a destination of choice for lovers of wine, well-being and gastronomy. The resort has gained international renown for its innovative spa treatments, gourmet cuisine and idyllic location amidst the vineyards.

THE STORY OF PASSION AND INNOVATION

A UNIQUE WELL-BEING EXPERIENCE

The brand's products are formulated with ingredients of natural origin, favouring grape extracts, grape seeds, grape water and vegetable oils. Caudalie also uses ingredients that respect the environment and the skin, avoiding parabens, phenoxyethanol, mineral oils, sulphates and ingredients of animal origin. Caudalie is renowned for its expertise in antioxidants, which are abundant in grapes. Antioxidants help fight free radicals, which are responsible for premature skin ageing. The brand has developed a patented technology called 'Vinotherapie', which harnesses the benefits of grape polyphenols to provide anti-ageing and protective skin care. The spa offers a complete range of treatments inspired by vinotherapy, a method developed by Caudalie that uses the antioxidant and regenerative properties of grapes. The products used in the treatments are formulated from natural ingredients such as grape water, grape seeds, grape extracts and vegetable oils.
