Actor, director, eco-activist, winery owner, gin entrepreneur. Brad Pitt is a modern-day Renaissance man, and his resume now extends to grooming guru. At 60, the award-winning actor remarkably radiates youth. And we can now all tap into his age-defying secret: Beau Domaine. Pitt’s sustainable, seed-to-skin product line upcycles the leftovers of grapes from renowned French winery Château de Beaucastel. The Perrins, the family behind the pioneering biodynamic estate located in the Rhône Valley, are partners in Pitt’s rosé winery, Château Miraval, in nearby Provence. Beau Domaine extends their collaborative relationship.

Co-founded by fifth-generation winemaker Marc Perrin, the product line is the result of more than a decade of research. A professor at the University of Bordeaux was tapped to study the antioxidant properties of Château de Beaucastel’s 13 grape varietals and determined Syrah, Grenache, and Mourvèdre were most potent. A mixture of the skins and seeds of these three grapes was used to develop GSM10, a patented active ingredient that delays oxidation at the cellular level to protect your skin. The line’s other patented ingredient, ProGR3, meanwhile, is a cocktail of green tea leaf polyphenols, resveratrol derived from grapevine tendrils, and chamomile extract that slows the signs of aging.

Beau Domaine’s products feature a combination of GSM10 and ProGR3, and their efficacy is bolstered by deeply hydrating hyaluronic acids, detoxifying vitamin B3, and nourishing shea butter and olive oil, the latter sourced from Châteaux Miraval. The tightly edited, unisex line has just four easy-to-use products. ” I always had and still want to keep my skincare routine simple,” said Pitt. “I have tried products in the past and some involved many steps, and this is not for me, I need a simple routine.”

The gentle cleansing emulsion (from $43) is infused with calming grape water that removes impurities without leaving the skin dry. Beau Domaine’s flagship serum ($242) is ultra-light weight and sinks into the skin instantly, providing immediate hydration and in the span of weeks showed visible plumping effects. The fluid cream (from $209) is the ideal day cream, delivering long-lasting moisture while keeping your skin looking glow, but not greasy. And the holy grail (and Pitt’s favorite product), the cream ($209), is luxuriously thick and rich but doesn’t feel heavy. It’s the ultimate antidote for chapped, wind-whipped winter skin.  Studies show it boosts hydration levels by 84 percent after only two hours.

Committed to treading lightly, the company has crafted packaging that’s both elegant and eco-friendly. The refillable glass bottles are topped with grooved oak caps made from wine barrel scraps and are sleek enough to display on your vanity. They also cleverly come with recycled plastic caps that make travel a breeze. And traditional printed instructions have been replaced with QR codes to reduce the use of paper.

At the end of the day though, it’s how you look, not the products that truly matters. After one month of integrating the line into my daily ritual I started to see a difference in my typically dry, dull complexion. My skin looked uncharacteristically dewy, my crow’s feet had softened a bit, and my skin felt softer. I don’t have hopes of Benjamin Button-style age reversal, but if my skin looks as youthful as Pitt’s at 60, I’d say Beau Domaine is a worthy investment.
