TWELVE Beauty

Pedro Catalá — creator of Spain’s TWELVE Beauty — is one of the most thoroughly educated founder-formulators we know. He has not only a pharmacy degree, but also a master’s in Botany and a PhD in Natural Product Formulation, a subject he’s taught at the University of Siena. (Yes, he’s fluent in Italian, too.) As one beauty editor put it, "What Pedro doesn't know about natural product formulation isn't worth knowing,” and after Pedro flew in from Valencia for a day to give our team an in-depth training on his products, we could see why. We’re delighted to be TWELVE’s first US retailer, and we’re huge fans of this go-to brand for sensitive, delicate skin. To learn about Pedro’s unique product philosophy, visit our blog.

"Whoa. This is not your usual bath product. I was skeptical about how a sea soak could detoxify, until I found myself sweating in the tub and then feeling deeply relaxed, yet rejuvenated, afterwards. Whatever magic is happening here, I’ll take it."

Jill R.

"Wow. You weren't kidding...I feel like some hyperpigmentation right below my eyes is already fading and my neck is firmer. These are two problem areas that I'd largely given up on, so I'm pretty shocked to see a difference. It feels so light and hydrating, too."

Andrea F.

"I ordered one on the day it came out. Then a couple weeks later, ordered another because I was already freaking out that something so good would sell out immediately and take a while to restock. It's the best all-around cleanser I've used."

Olympia T.

"The difference in my skin from April 2018 to now must be seen to be believed. Having never used oil on my face I wasn't sure what to expect with Dara's Oil, but I wouldn't return to a cream moisturizer for anything. This oil is light, penetrating, and not greasy."

Jill

"In all honesty, this serum has changed my COVID nurse skin. It instantly rehydrates, plumps tissue, decreases redness, increases elasticity, and leaves a subtle glow...friends and co-workers have positively commented on the change in my skin."

Karen W.

"I tried a lot of natural shampoo and finally found my holy grail. Bonus points, the scent of this shampoo is divine, so much so it enriches my shampooing experience."

Claire

"I hadn't gotten a good night's sleep in over two weeks and was at my wits' end. I kept waking up after 4-5 hours and unable to get back to sleep. Last night I took the sleep tonic and stress tonic with water before bed. I slept deeply and awoke feeling refreshed and full of energy!"

Andrew

"I absolutely love this serum. Every time I think about moving away from it, I keep coming back. I've tried countless other moisturizers (natural and not) and there is nothing that makes my sensitive rosacea-prone skin feel as hydrated, soothed and luxe as this one from Vintners."
