Creme de la Mer UK

La Mer is a luxury skincare brand created in 1965 by Max Huber, a German-born aerospace physicist based in San Diego who suffered severe burns in a lab explosion. Watching fishermen use seaweed to heal wounds, he embarked on a 12-year journey conducting over 6,000 experiments to unlock the sea's transformative power. His signature fermentation process – taking 3-4 months using light and sound energy to enhance sea kelp, vitamins, and minerals – created the legendary Miracle Broth. Sold at American department stores from 1956, La Mer was acquired by The Estée Lauder Companies in 1995, becoming the world's most coveted skincare brand with sales exceeding $1 billion annually.
