FAQs

What is La Mer's origin story?

La Mer's journey began when Dr. Max Huber suffered burns in an experiment gone awry and set out to create his own destiny.

How was La Mer's signature product, Crème de la Mer, created?

Inspired by the oceanic world, Huber fermented nutrient-rich sea kelp with other natural ingredients. 12 years and 6,000 experiments later, Crème de la Mer was born – and Huber’s skin appeared dramatically renewed.

Mission & Purpose

Our journey began when Dr. Max Huber suffered burns in a lab accident and was inspired to create his own destiny. Aerospace Physicist by day, star-gazer and dreamer by night, he hoped to unlock the legendary healing powers of the sea he held so dear. 6,000 experiments and 12 years of searching led to the epiphany of a lifetime – a fermentation process that transformed sea kelp and other pure ingredients into Miracle Broth™. This cell-renewing elixir at the heart of Crème de la Mer would finally transform the look of his skin.
