Formulation Deep Dive

The Caudalie Beauty Elixir is formulated as a hydro-alcoholic botanical mist designed for immediate skin toning and radiance enhancement. The carrier system utilizes a high concentration of Alcohol to facilitate rapid evaporation and provide an astringent effect, balanced by Glycerin and Vitis Vinifera (Grape) Fruit Extract to maintain surface hydration. The formula features a complex of essential oils, including Rosmarinus Officinalis (Rosemary) Leaf Oil for antimicrobial properties and Melissa Officinalis (Lemon Balm) Leaf Oil to soothe the skin, working in tandem with Bitter Orange Flower Water to refine skin texture. The system is stabilized by the inherent preservative properties of the alcohol base and further protected by Tocopherol (Vitamin E) to prevent the oxidation of the delicate botanical resins and oils.
