More than 20 years ago, there was a young couple who talked with Prof. Vercauteren, a lab director. It was that talk that let us know grapes could do more than just making red wines.
THE BENEFITS OF GRAPES TO OUR SKIN
It’s Caudalie that I am talking about. The skincare brand is relatively young but very popular in France and the rest of the world. Some digging has let me unveil the story behind the French skincare brand. In 1993, founder Mathilde and her husband were studying the benefits of grapes to our skin. The talk with Prof. Vercauteren had them realise that polyphenols contained in grape seeds are an excellent antioxidant, which is a key characteristic to slow down the skin from ageing. They kept on researching and experimenting. In two years, they were able to launch their first three polyphenol-made products, laying down the foundation as a natural skincare company.
I LOVE THAT THEY ARE NATURAL
Their hand and nail cream, lip conditioner, and moisturizing sorbet are definitely my favourites. Not overpriced yet excellent in moisturising, not only do they replenish our dry skin, they are also not greasy at all, which is so convenient for daily uses. I love the fact that Caudalie do not use any preservatives nor do they apply any mineral oils or animal-derived ingredients. Their plant-based products are so natural that I have no trouble using them on my sensitive skin, and this is why they are no ordinary skincare products.
Because of that talk, Bordeaux now offers more than just red wines!
