We see the unseen.

We search the globe to find you the best healthy beauty products — many that you won't see elsewhere.

We really get to know the people, the science, and the safety behind them.

And, importantly, we really get to know you. Not through an algorithm, but through our team of very special Guides. Because great service matters — and here, so do you.

MyHavtorn

MyHavtorn is a gem of a company in Sweden's Bollebygd Valley that sustainably grows and harvests its own sea buckthorn on their centuries-old family farm. To avoid irritating preservatives, MyHavtorn freshly cold-presses their sea buckthorn oil to order for us, blending it into vitamin- and EFA-rich products that work wonders on sensitive skin. (Serious wonders. MyHavtorn's original Facial Oil has been featured in GLAMOUR magazine for its ability to treat rosacea more effectively on some customers than prescription treatments.)

MyHavtorn is one of our most beloved brands for good reason. To dive deep into the world of MyHavtorn with founders Robin and Ingrid as your tour guides, visit our blog

“I have tried many, many, many retinol products. Most of them caused redness, the worst caused peeling, and the best I could get was little to no benefit. I had nearly given up hope until I tried the Sea Retinal...my skin is glowy and my skin tone is even. I have also noticed that my skin is softer and generally less reactive. Amazing!!!"

Kristin 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.

"The difference in my skin 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

"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.

"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.

"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!"

TWELVE Beauty Dara's Water: How Pedro uses it

Dara’s Water from TWELVE Beauty is my favorite cleanser of all time, and it’s a non-negotiable in my evening skincare routine. (By the way, in case you hadn’t heard this already: if you’re sleeping in your sunscreen or makeup, I have thoughts.)...
