THE SEA ITSELF
Just as it was for Max Huber, the sea is our endless inspiration – a constant source of wonder and beauty.
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, making them the perfect beginning to our cell-renewing Miracle Broth.
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.
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.
A RENEWING ELIXIR
Miracle Broth™
When it comes to recreating Max’s cell-renewing ferment, precision is essential. Each La Mer scientist has a unique role in ensuring that Max’s fermentation process is followed, unlocking the energy potential of our pure ingredients. The result? A sum far greater than its parts.
FOUR
PHENOMENAL FORMS
Through pored-over innovations and the occasional stroke of serendipity, we have developed four forms of our original Miracle Broth. Each one utilizes a distinct way of delivering its cell-renewing benefits.
THE ORIGINAL
MIRACLE BROTH
Each time the Miracle Broth undergoes its 3- to 4-month fermentation process, it is infused with the batch that came before it, creating a timeless link to the original. At the heart of every La Mer product today, Miracle Broth is as essential to Crème de la Mer as the sea itself.
CONCENTRATED
MIRACLE BROTH
Using a unique cold-vacuum process over the course of three days and three nights following Max Huber’s 3- to 4-month fermentation process, this potent elixir helps create a concentrated source of soothing to calm the look of redness and other signs of inflammation. Originally crafted for The Concentrate.
CRYSTAL
MIRACLE BROTH
Inspired by the chance discovery of crystals forming in a beaker of Miracle Broth, this extraordinarily pure, slow-crafted ferment infuses every Genaissance de la Mer treatment with the legendary healing energies of the sea, helping accelerate visible renewal as never before.
ENCAPSULATED
MIRACLE BROTH
Designed for time-release delivery, Encapsulated Miracle Broth gently extends benefits to more delicate areas, such as the eyes, achieving the optimal degrees of potency and efficacy in The Eye Concentrate.
ANTIOXIDANT
ADVANTAGE
Lime Tea Explained
Realizing the protective potential of antioxidants ahead of his time, 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.
