Caudalie - Research and Innovation

Two years later, after extensive research and development, the first three products of Caudalie were introduced, featuring these stabilized polyphenols. Stabilized polyphenols made their way onto the market of dermo-cosmetics, and in 1996, Caudalie signed an agreement with the Pharmacy Faculty of Bordeaux to set its own research team. The success of Caudalie grew around the world with luxury spas featuring Caudalie products in Paris, the United States, Taiwan and Italy.

The Research
In 1993, a team of researchers concluded that the grape-seed OPC molecule is 10,000 times more powerful then vitamin E in combating free radicals. The work required for its extraction is just as impressive. It takes one ton of grape-seeds to obtain 1 kg. of OPC.

Additionally, it takes one ton of vine stalks to extract one kilo of Resveratrol, a stabilized molecule patented in 2001, which provides exceptional action on the stimulation of cellular renewal. This research is also patented.

Lastly, in 2004, a fabulous discovery to promote radiance and treat dark spots allowed Caudalie to register a new patent. Viniferine, an extract of vine stalks contained in the Vinoperfect collection.

The Formulations
Caudalie has established a name for themselves by offering the best products from nature possible. All Caudalie products are free of artificial colors, mineral oil and animal ingredients and testing. Over 100 different plant extracts are used in their formulations to provide the skin with a natural treatment. Caudalie refuses to use synthetic preservatives such as parabens and phenoxyethanol; instead their formulas are preserved with plant origin extracts and packaged in tubes to maintain the pure quality.
