it continues to reveal new anti-aging properties till this very day. With its carefully crafted fermentation process, Miracle Broth inspires us in everything we do – especially when it comes to innovating new transformative ferments.
IT ALL BEGINS WITH THE SEA
La Mer’s founder Dr. Max Huber worked tirelessly to unlock the legendary healing energies of the sea through careful fermentation and intricate sonochemistry.
GIANT SEA KELP
With peak growth rates of up to 2 to 3 feet a day, Macrocystis pyrifera is one of nature’s most elegant designs with the ability to store the sun’s energy and the sea’s nutrients. Its self-regenerating properties make it one of the fastest growing forms of life found on Earth, making it the perfect beginning to our cell-renewing Miracle Broth.
ONE PLACE IN THE WORLD
In pristine waters off the Pacific Coast, ocean currents infused with nutrient-rich natural flora create the optimal environment for Giant Sea Kelp to thrive in. These magnificent fronds grow to their healthiest potential before we sustainably collect just the top portions of the kelp.
PATIENT HARVEST
Max Huber believed that there were particularly beneficial times to collect kelp, based on the moon’s cycles and the ebb and flow of ocean tides, yielding a more nutrient-rich harvest. Today, we rely on the knowledge of seasoned kelp experts to sustainably hand-harvest fronds just at the sea’s surface.
FERMENTATION IS AN ART THAT WORKS LIKE ALCHEMY
Individual ingredients can undergo a metabolic process that transforms them into micronutrients that the skin can more readily recognize and receive. Our signature fermentation process takes 3 to 4 months and uses light and sound energy to enhance the activity of sea kelp, vitamins, minerals and other pure ingredients, creating a whole far greater than the sum of its parts.
ANTIOXIDANT ADVANTAGE
Lime Tea Explained
Realizing the protective potential of antioxidants, Max chose a simple ingredient from which to extract these potent nutrients – lime. As an ideal complement to Miracle Broth, Max’s “Lime Tea” is the result of a one-month slow-extraction process used to unlock antioxidants from the citrus fruit’s outermost peel.
INNOVATING OUR CRAFT TODAY
Today we bring Max’s original craft to every ingredient that goes into La Mer. Through the art of fermentation, we transform individual ingredients into micronutrients that the skin can more readily recognize and receive. Discover a selection of our most potent sea-inspired ferments.
