The story of La Mer is one of hope, healing and one man’s deep respect for the power of the living sea. Dr. Max Huber suffered burns in an experiment gone awry and devoted himself to unlock the legendary healing powers of the sea. Scientific by day, star-gazer and dreamer by night, he hoped to unlock the legendary healing powers of the sea he held so dear. Eventually he discovered the cell-renewing Miracle Broth ™ - the elixir that soothed his skin and flows – that exist in every La Mer product today.
