“When I lived in New York City, I wasn’t much of a plant person. But then I moved to Jackson Hole, Wyoming , and they became my life. I was immediately calmed and comforted by the lush forests and blooming meadows filled with colorful wildflowers and wild indigenous plants, like borage, sage and chamomile. I was blown away by their ability to survive on their own, without any help, in a harsh mountain climate.
“My favorite plant has to be the vine. It brings a lot to my life as my husband Bertrand and I built a skin care company around it. I like to call it the absolute plant. It produces the most powerful anti-dark spot molecule in its sap, an antiaging gold standard resveratrol and powerful antioxidants in its seeds. Grapevine runs in the family history as my parents are winemakers at Château Smith Haut Lafitte.
“I was born and raised in nature. With Bertrand, we are very outdoorsy people. We love trees and believe they are the best natural climate solution. They take carbon out of the air and lock it away, contribute to population wellness, preserve biodiversity, improve water quality, control soil erosion. While we were living in New York in 2012, we talked to Yvon Chouinard, founder of One Percent for the Planet and decided to give back 1 percent of Caudalie sales each year to plant trees.
