Background

A scientist, Dr. Max Huber created the original formula for Crème De La Mer while in search of a cure for his own skin condition. Huber was an aerospace physicist who was working on a laboratory experiment when it exploded in his face, leaving severe chemical burns. He would spend more than a decade trying to develop a remedy that could heal his skin. He discovered it in the bio-fermentation formula for Crème De La Mer.

Estee Lauder

In the mid-1990s, the internationally established beauty products company, Estee Lauder purchased Huber's formula. Estee Lauder eventually perfected the manufacturing process and introduced Crème De La Mer as a beauty product extraordinaire, marketed under the company label La Mer.
