Caudalie Paris skincare was named after a French winemaking term.  Caudalie means the amount of time that the different flavors in a sip of wine linger on your palette after tasting.  In other words, one second of flavor equals one caudalie.  Caudalie Paris was founded by college sweethearts Mathilde and Bertrand Thomas around 1993.  Together with a prominent scientist, from the Bordeaux University of Pharmacy they discovered the powers of grape seeds.  Grape seeds had polyphenols, which, once stabilized, have incredible capacity to trap free radicals and fight aging.

This discovery was patented in 1994.  Caudalie Paris also discovered Resveratrol, a polyphenol that activates cell renewal which was patented in 1999.  And, Viniferine, a polyphenol isolated from the vine stalk that inhibits melanin synthesis which patented in 2004. Check out their Crushed Cabernet Scrub which is an intensely hydrating body scrub.  Crushed Cabernet Scrub by Caudalie buffs away dry skin while infusing your skin with the powerful antioxidant properties of crushed grape seeds, essential oils, and brown sugar.  This exclusive body scrub at one point was only available at the famed Caudalie Spa in Bordeaux, France.  It is suitable for all skin types and it is Paraben-free.  Cost:  $35 for 8.8 oz.
