Caudalie was founded by Mathilde Thomas and her husband Bertrand. The story begins in Bordeaux, on the family business in the middle of the vineyards. The vines and grapes contain exceptionally potent skin components that beg to be deepened. "Do you know that you are throwing away real treasures?" This sentence by Professor Joseph Vercauteren changed the life of Mathilde. He is one of the world specialists in the field of polyphenols and director of the pharmacognosy laboratory of the Faculty of Pharmacy of Montpellier. Since the foundation of Caudalie he has been the scientific advisor at the Brand.
