What if your skincare was formulated by a pharmacist who also happens to be a botanist, a cosmetic scientist, and a genuine obsessive about sensitive skin? That's Twelve Beauty. Founded in Spain by Dr. Pedro Catalá, who holds degrees in Pharmacy, Botany, a Master's in Cosmetic Science, and a PhD in Natural Formulation Technologies — this is a brand built on one uncompromising principle: every ingredient must earn its place.
Twelve Beauty was created for the skin that other brands overlook. Over 60% of its users have sensitive, reactive, or compromised skin — the kind that flares up, fights back, and has learned to distrust most of what it's given. Pedro's answer was to strip things back: no parabens, no sulphates, no silicones, no synthetic fragrance, no petrochemicals, and no well-known natural sensitisers like potassium sorbate or sodium phytate. Just clean, clinically effective formulas that the skin actually accepts.
At the heart of every formula lies a signature set of 12 organic Alpine botanicals and biotechnology-derived actives. White Genepi and Butterfly Bush guard the skin with potent antioxidants. Mallow Flower soothes and protects. Masterwort (Imperatoria) repairs and moisturises. Plant-derived Squalane renews the hydrolipidic film. Multiple forms of Hyaluronic Acid plump and preserve elasticity. Epilobium Fleischeri regulates sebum for oily skin. Upcycled Spent Grain Wax — one of the most sustainable ingredients on earth — regenerates the skin barrier with linoleic acid. And the newly introduced Vitamin B12 tackles redness and inflammation at the source.
The results speak for themselves: 92% of 100 men and women confirmed firmer, smoother and clearer skin after just 4 weeks. Twelve Beauty addresses sensitivity, redness and rosacea, dehydration and dryness, excess sebum and enlarged pores, dark circles, environmental damage, lip care, and the visible signs of ageing — all in formulas that are
100% vegan, cruelty-free, and made in Spain in recyclable glass packaging.
This is skincare with nothing to hide and everything to prove. Twelve Beauty — green beauty reinvented.
