Caudalie Beauty Elixir<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Caudalie\u2019s Beauty Elixir was born from a book of spells dating back to the 16th century found on the banks of the Seine River in Paris. Inside the book was a recipe for an all-natural elixir used by the Queen of Hungary to care for her complexion \u2013 legend has it that it was the royal\u2019s radiant skin that actually charmed the King of Poland (who was 35 years her junior at the time).<\/p>\n

Mathilde Thomas was working at Ch\u00e2teau Smith Haut Lafitte, a vineyard in Bordeaux owned by her parents, when she decided to rework the original formula with a contemporary (and French!) spin. Already immersed in the skincare space, Mathilde and her husband Bertrand had been exploring the antioxidant power of grape polyphenols, and so combined these learnings with the Queen\u2019s famed formulation to produce Caudalie Beauty Elixir in 1997.<\/p>\n

The mist-toner hybrid was an instant cult item, loved by French skincare purists and celebrity makeup artists. It became a staple backstage at fashion weeks; a sort of industry secret for refreshing a model\u2019s skin between shows. Public praise from high profile figures \u2013 including Victoria Beckham in 2012 and Rosie Huntington Whitely in 2017 \u2013 further cemented it as an iconic product, and it\u2019s been an international best-seller ever since.<\/p>\n

Part of the appeal of Caudalie\u2019s Beauty Elixir is that in the 25 years since it launched, the formula has remained exactly the same: Benzoin to soothe the skin, myrrh to tone, essential oils of rosemary from Tunisia to energise and peppermint to stimulate, along with orange blossom to soften, rose for luminosity and, of course, radiance-enhancing grape pulp extract from France \u2013 otherwise known as Caudalie\u2019s flagship ingredient. Zingy and wonderfully herbaceous, Beauty Elixir has remained vegan, paraben-free and of 100 percent natural origins since its inception (features that were quite an anomaly at the time). It also represented a new kind of French beauty; one that married plant extracts with a luxurious experience \u2013 a recipe that has absolutely paid off.<\/p>\n

This year, the product will undergo a packaging transformation, however the formula itself will remain exactly the same (because if it ain\u2019t broke\u2026). From April, Beauty Elixir will move to a tinted pink and green bottle, reflective of the rose, grape and mint extracts inside. C\u2019est chic.<\/p>\n

Whether it\u2019s to set makeup, prep the skin or refresh throughout the day , Caudalie\u2019s Beauty Elixir really is one of the longest-standing multi-purpose skincare items on the market \u2013 and with royal origins, we wouldn\u2019t expect anything less.<\/p>\n
