ABOUT LA MER
OUR SECRET
OF THE SEA
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 revitalizing 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 renewing elixir at the heart of Crème de la Mer would finally transform the look of his skin.
ONE PLACE
IN THE WORLD
In the pristine waters off of Vancouver Island, we hand-harvest the kelp in an effort to help support its sustainability for generations to come. One of the fastest growing plants in the world, with exceptional self-regenerating powers, Giant Sea Kelp is at the heart of the Miracle Broth.
Each time the Miracle Broth is created, it is infused with drops of the batch that came before it, creating a timeless link to our original. At the heart of every La Mer product today, Miracle Broth is as essential to Crème de la Mer as the sea itself.

Twice a day, dab a small amount onto the silver-tipped applicator and gently massage around the eye area for increased micro-circulation. Our favourite beauty hack? Stow the applicator in the fridge for 3 to 5 minutes for a refreshing revamp of your go-to eye regime.
Used to have a battery operated tool from Avon that sounded a bit like this. Then they stopped selling it.
This is daily rather than spa day.

American comedy in which ageing actress Madeline Ashton (Meryl Streep) is persuaded to consume an elixir which promises her eternal life. Her rival for her husband Ernest (Bruce Willis)’s affections, Helen Sharp (Goldie Hawn), has taken the same potion, and when the two of them try to kill each other, their bodies prove to be irritatingly indestructible. Who will win the desire of Ernest and be the last woman standing?
Amazon.co.uk Review
Death Becomes Her is an outlandish parable about America’s obsession with youth and vanity which has developed a cult following.
Meryl Streep has a ball as the deliciously vicious Madeline Ashton, a flamboyantly mannered actress who makes Bette Davis’s formidable Margo Channing in All About Eve look like a wallflower. Goldie Hawn is also in razor-sharp comedic form as Madeline’s long-time “best friend,” Helen. Sensing a bargain she just can’t resist, Madeline steals Helen’s meek, plastic-surgeon husband Ernest (Bruce Willis) for her own convenience, and the two women become sworn enemies. But the real complications arise when the two are introduced to a secret anti-aging formula by a mysterious and exotic woman (Isabella Rossellini, delightfully ridiculous) that not only smoothes away wrinkles but actually guarantees immortality. As their undying bodies are twisted and mutilated by violent attacks on each other, both women grow increasingly dependent on Ernest for cosmetic repair. The pioneering digital effects inflicted on Streep and Hawn are as grotesque as they are imaginative and hilarious. Like James Cameron (The Abyss, Titanic), Zemeckis loves a technical challenge, and the new visual tools developed for this movie made his later work (in Forrest Gump and Contact) possible. The digital video disc includes a short feature on the movie’s production. —Jim Emerson, Amazon.com
