Founded in a French vineyard in 1993 by Mathilde Thomas and her husband Bertrand, whilst she was working on her family’s vineyard, Mathilde uncovered that the vine and grapes of the vineyard held tremendous benefits for the skin. Enlisting the help of Professor Vercauteren, who now serves at the brand’s scientific advisor, Mathilde began extracting the vines superior benefits and Caudalie was born.
