You often hear about the strangest of ingredients being used for beauty products: gold, diamond dust, bee's venom, to name just a couple and each ingredient promises miracles; whether is reducing signs of ageing, or keeping you moisturized and glowing like it was your wedding day all over again.
But what's more interesting is how products are produced because more often than not, they aren't made in an ethical way, and on top of that many products don't deliver on what they promise. How about finding a beauty line that instead does what it says on the proverbial "tin" and that it's also ethical?

Caudalie is a brand which has been present for almost 20 years in pharmacies across France, and something really interesting I would like to mention is the etymology of the brand name, which it's impeccable!
Unless you are a wine expert, you may not know that "caudalie" is the unit used in measuring the duration of the wine's flavor on the palate, therefore the finer a wine is, the more caudalie it has, because its flavor will last longer on your palate.
This truly is the perfect name for the brand, not only because of relation in the ingredients used and its story but also because just like a fine wine lasts on your palate, a Caudalie beauty product will have a long and deep effect on your skin.

pharmacognosy is the study of medicines derived from natural sources

Caudalie was started by Mathilde Thomas and her husband Bertrand in 1995.
Thanks to Professor Vercauteren an expert in pharmacognosy, they realized that the ingredients they were throwing away during their grape harvest were in fact treasures!
Since then, with the help of the Professor and the right team they developed a series of patents and beauty products that have exceptional benefits for the skin like helping with collagen and elastin production, stopping glycation (what we know as deep wrinkles) and skin aging.
The strong belief held by Mathilde that beauty products have to be effective but also natural is the foundation that makesCaudalie stand out and has driven the brand to invest time and effort in researching and patenting products that work and are ecological.

Caudalie uses natural and environmentally friendly active ingredients that are obtained by raw materials of controlled origin and ecologically certified preservatives. You won't find any artificial ingredients, synthetic coloring, parabens or animal ingredients in any of the Caudalie's products and they are not tested on animals either.
The ethical work doesn't end there. Caudalie has also set up a process to optimize transport, packaging and waste products to reduce its annual CO2 emissions and if that wasn't enough, Caudalie also donates 1% of its world revenue to NGOs to act and protect regions of the world like the Amazon, Andes, Indonesia and many other key areas which are most threatened by deforestation and where biodiversity is in danger. |
What about the products themselves?
There is a vast line that ranges from serums and anti-ageing creams, to body scrubs and moisturizers. One of the best sellers and a personal favorite as well as being a favorite of celebrities like Liv Tyler is the beauty elixir called Eau de Beaute` to improve your complexion.
All of these products contain the active ingredients that are taken from various parts of vines, grapes, olives and other plants that are naturally packed with antioxidants and anti-ageing I mentioned earlier that will help your skin look and feel younger and also give you that glow that is a synonym of health.
In Dubai, Caudalie products can be found at Bin Sina Pharmacies and at Boots, however not all products from Caudalie's skincare line are available yet in the UAE, in fact the selection is really limited, therefore we advise you to take a look at the sample selection below and order them from Amazon where you can find 146 products available and on many deals includes free shipping. The products below are only but a few available on Amazon, feel free to click on the images and peruse the full line.
