OUR LEGACY
LEGENDARY
HEALING ENERGIES
FROM SEA TO SKIN
Science.
Craftsmanship.
Renewal.
These three tenets have been part of La Mer’s DNA since our inception, sparked by our founder’s quest to unlock the self-regenerative power of Giant Sea Kelp. Over 50 years later, we still rely on the sea for skin-energizing ingredients and, even more importantly, endless inspiration.
A SCIENTIST’S SEARCH FOR RENEWAL
After suffering burns in a lab accident, Dr. Max Huber sought out new sources of soothing in his trusted refuge: the sea. An aerospace physicist by day and a dreamer by night, he often spent his evenings on the ocean, finding inspiration somewhere between the unfathomable depths of the sea and the immeasurable heights of the stars.

THE EPIPHANY OF A LIFETIME
Giant Sea Kelp was waiting for Dr. Huber just beneath the surface, glimmering with self-regenerative energy. With this precious resource in hand, he set off on a 12-year journey to unlock its transformative power, conducting over 6,000 experiments to arrive at the bioenergetic fermentation process behind our visible youth-renewing Miracle Broth™.
INNOVATING TODAY, ENERGIZING TOMORROW
What started as one man’s quest for knowledge has become our mission to unlock new pathways to healthy skin aging for all. Through the bioenergetic art of fermentation, we continue Dr. Huber’s legacy of discovery and spirit of innovation, infusing it into every formula that makes us La Mer.
A REVITALIZING REGIMEN
Dr. Huber’s discovery, Miracle Broth™, is a vital ingredient that flows through all of La Mer, infusing each of our treatments—from our coveted essentials to our signature moisturizers—with its youth-renewing properties and transformative energy.
