What happens when French winemaking meets modern skincare? Enter Beau Domaine—a genderless, vegan-friendly skincare line co-founded by Brad Pitt in 2022. Yes, that Brad Pitt. But this celebrity brand comes with serious science and a formulation philosophy rooted in both luxury and sustainability.
What does “Beau Domaine” mean?
French for “beautiful estate,” it nods to Château Miraval, Pitt’s Provençal vineyard and the source of some of the brand’s key ingredients.
The Formula: Biotech Meets Botanicals
At the heart of the line are two patented actives:
- GSM10® – A grape-derived antioxidant complex that helps reduce inflammation and oxidative stress
- ProGR3® – Targets signs of aging and supports collagen preservation
These are paired with a curated selection of high-performance ingredients:
- Organic grape water for soothing hydration
- Sustainably sourced shea butter for barrier support
- Multi-weight hyaluronic acid for deep moisture
- Niacinamide for tone and texture
- Green chiretta, an Ayurvedic botanical with revitalizing properties
- Grapevine flower sister cells, obtained through biotechnology, to help even tone and refine skin
Is It “Clean Beauty”?
Beau Domaine sits thoughtfully within the evolving definition of clean beauty. For some, clean means vegan, cruelty-free, and plant-powered. In that sense, Beau Domaine checks all the boxes. But if your clean beauty standards include avoiding all fragrance (natural or synthetic) or any synthetics at all, there are a few ingredients worth noting:
- Parfum (fragrance) – included, though the source is not disclosed
- Synthetic preservatives like O-Cymen-5-Ol and 1,2-Hexanediol
These are commonly used in global skincare and considered safe. In fact, some mild synthetics are essential for preserving product stability and safety—especially in water-based formulas where bacterial growth is a concern.
Price Point: Elevated but Accessible
With creams priced around $150, Beau Domaine is a luxury brand, but not entirely out of reach. New customers receive a welcome discount, and the Hand & Nail Cream at $19 offers an affordable entry point to experience the brand’s signature ingredients.
