History of La Mer

La Mer is a luxury skincare brand founded by Dr. Max Huber, an aerospace physicist, in the 1960s. The brand's flagship product, Crème de la Mer, is renowned for its potent blend of ingredients and unique fermentation process. Dr. Huber initially created the cream to heal his own skin after suffering burns in a laboratory accident. Through a meticulous fermentation process, he combined sea kelp and other marine ingredients with bio-fermentation, resulting in a highly potent and nutrient-rich elixir that became the cornerstone of La Mer's skincare line.

Estée Lauder acquired La Mer in 1995, propelling the brand to global recognition and expanding its product offerings while preserving its commitment to luxury and efficacy. La Mer's products, including moisturizers, serums, and masks, are celebrated for their anti-aging properties and ability to rejuvenate and hydrate the skin. La Mer has maintained its reputation as a symbol of luxury and excellence in skincare, with its products being favored by celebrities, beauty enthusiasts, and skincare professionals worldwide. The brand continues to innovate, incorporating advanced technologies and sustainable practices into its formulations while staying true to its heritage of harnessing the power of the sea to deliver transformative skincare solutions.
