La Mer has become legendary for the results of the Creme de la Mer. The power behind that cream has its roots in aerospace physics. Dr. Max Huber, an aerospace physicist, mastered the art of bio-fermentation while searching for a way to heal his scars from a chemical burn. That process, which involves fermenting vitamins, minerals, essential oils, and other natural ingredients, combined with sonochemistry technology, has resulted in the Miracle Broth. This sea kelp based ingredient is what packs the power into La Mer's signature cream.

After perfecting what has become known as a "miracle cream," La Mer began creating an entire line of face and body care products that would supplement the use of the Creme de la Mer. Committed to preserving the environment that supplies their ingredients, La Mer has teamed with Oceana, the world's largest ocean advocacy organization to ensure the protection of the ocean.
