LaMer Supports World Oceans Day

We love a beauty company with a social conscience.  Today, in honor of Dr. Max Huber, the founder of La Mer and creator of the legendary Crème de la Mer, La Mer proudly announces its support for Oceana, the largest international ocean advocacy group, for World Ocean Day on June 8, 2008.  While researching the sea kelp beds off the coast of Southern California, Dr. Huber developed a deep appreciation for the beauty of the ocean and worked to preserve its health and integrity.  This June, La Mer will donate $100,000 to Oceana to help fund global initiatives and support Oceana’s missions of ocean conservation.  

With La Mer’s donation, Oceana will be able to increase research voyages on their Ketch catamaran, Ranger, and better patrol, document, and fight destruction of the ocean’s unique ecosystem. La Mer pays tribute to Dr. Max Huber through this partnership and celebrates its heritage and commitment to the welfare of the ocean. To further celebrate, LaMer has created a special Crème de La Mer wrap for World Oceans Day.  Check it out! 

 

Creme de la Mer and The Eye Concentrate

Creme de la Mer is a true legend in the world of cosmetics.  Creme de la Mer was developed by Dr. Max Huber, after suffering a horrific accident which left him with severe chemical burns.  Not finding relief through conventional medicine or science, he set out to develop his own remedy.  Twelve years and six thousand experiments later, Creme de la Mer was born. 

At the heart of the Creme de la Mer is the highly potent Miracle Broth.  This formula contains sea kelp, calcium, magnesium, potassium, iron, lecithin, antioxiandants Vitamins C, E and B12, plus other natural ingredients, humectants and emollients.  The bio-fermentation process for the Miracle Broth takes 3-4 months to complete and although the company is now owned by Estee Lauder, the meticulous bio-fermentation process has remained the same.  In trying out Creme de la Mer, in order to release and activate the ingredients, I took an amount a little bigger than a pea, and warmed it between my fingertips, then pressed the Creme into my skin.  I was worried that the Creme, being a thick and rich moisturizer, would cause my skin to break out, but it didn't at all.  In fact, my skin seemed to drink in the lightly fragranced Creme de la Mer and I noticed softer, smoother and more radiant skin; a healthy glow.  I love the ritual of applying the Creme; it feels very indulgent and luxurious. Creme de la Mer retails at $125 for 1 oz. 

The Eye Concentrate is a new eye treatment containing three forms of the same Miracle Broth as in Creme de la Mer.  The Eye Concentrate contains is formulated with the Original Miracle Broth, a cold-vacuum processed Concentrated Miracle Broth and a time-release Encapsulated Miracle Broth.  What does this Grand Slam of Miracle Broth do for you?  The first response I noted was the very quick resolution of under-eye puffiness.  In addition, I saw a more smooth appearance under my eyes, lessening of dark circles; an overall improvement in the appearance of the undereye area. I have to say, I consider this an excellent eye cream and have no reservations about recommending The Eye Concentrate.  The Eye Concentrate retails at $160.

Both Creme de la Mer and The Eye Concentrate are available online at the LaMer website.  You can also find the LaMer line at select Neiman Marcus, Saks Fifth Avenue and Barneys department stores.
