At the heart of every La Mer treatment, the legendary beauty brand’s signature elixir harnesses the energy of the ocean

La Mer is loved for its revitalising power, but the story behind the luxury skincare brand flows deeper than most people think—to the depths of the sea, in fact. With over 12 years of experimentation, it has perfected its cell-renewing Miracle Broth™, which plays an indispensable role in its rejuvenating powers.

Inspired by the seas, brand founder Dr Max Huber explored the self-regenerating properties found within giant sea kelp, or Macrocystis pyrifera, to create an elixir that draws from the energy of the oceans. With all of La Mer’s products built around the Miracle Broth™, harnessing kelp as its signature ingredient is key to unleashing their power.

Growing in dense stands known as “forests”, the giant kelp is sustainably harvested before going through a process of fermentation and extraction of its essential vitamins and precious oils that lasts up to four months. Every batch of Miracle Broth™ begins with a starter drop from the previous special formula—creating an unbroken link to the very first Crème de la Mer that was invented by Dr Huber in 1965.

Expanding its sea of possibilities, La Mer’s moisture collection offers a choice of five unique textures that each deliver the signature La Mer renewal experience. The application of each product envelops the skin in healing and rejuvenating moisture, leaving it nourished and radiant.

The iconic Crème de la Mer, which means “cream of the sea”, is infused with the signature Miracle Broth™ and antioxidant lime tea to restore hydration. Unlock its powers by gently warming the Crème de la Mer between your fingertips until it becomes translucent, releasing its ultra-rich surge of healing moisture.

The moisture collection also includes a soft cream and a fluid lotion—both combat dryness and create a natural glow, while providing a choice of preferred texture. The cool gel cream gives a refreshing maritime splash to soothe the skin, and the oil-absorbing moisturising lotion can be applied to control shine for a matte finish.

Beyond optimising natural ingredients, such as sea kelp and lime, La Mer’s scientists follow Dr Huber’s original fermentation work. The process takes individual ingredients and transforms them into micronutrients that are easily absorbed by our skin.

Fuelled by its cell-renewing Miracle Broth™, La Mer’s five moisturisers feature unique textures, from deep, decadent and dewy to quick-absorbing and lightweight. Two sets, one for soothing and renewing, and one for revitalising and hydrating—each containing hero products from La Mer’s comprehensive collection—are available in two handy travel bags. Created for dry or combination skin, each set includes either the Crème de la Mer or The Moisturising Soft Cream, along with a cleansing foam and treatment lotion to kickstart your skin’s journey to rejuvenation.
