During a summer working at their family vineyard in Bordeaux, husband-and-wife team Mathilde and Bertrand Thomas ran into a polyphenol specialist who casually mentioned the amazing antioxidant power and skincare potential of grapes. This led the Thomases to launch Caudalie, an eco-friendly, wine-derived, super-effective skincare line. (Dr. Vercauteren still serves as the brand's scientific advisor.) Over twenty years — and four medical patents — later, wine is still a major foundation of the brand. How big? Well, look at the name. A caudalie is the unit for measuring for how long a wine lingers in the mouth — one caudalie per second, and you start counting as soon as you sip. This is a super-soothing aerosol spray that acts as a fire extinguisher for the skin. The organic grapewater calms down inflammation, and boosts hydration. Use it as an anytime spray... to set your makeup, wake up or destress during the day, or add hydration when you're feeling dry. Tip: if you store it in the fridge, it feels extra-refreshing going on.
