ABOUT LA MER
La Mer joined The Estée Lauder Companies' family of brands in 1995. Sold in more than 50 countries and territories, La Mer represents supreme luxury and transformative, high-performance skincare. Crème de la Mer, one of the most innovative and sought-after moisturizers, was conceived by Dr. Max Huber, an aerospace physicist, after he suffered a laboratory accident that severely burned his face. Formulated with sea kelp and a pioneering bio-fermentation process, the Crème miraculously transformed the appearance of Dr. Huber's skin. Since then, it has evolved into what can only be described as a legend.
Today, La Mer offers a complete range of facial skin care and body products—all harnessing the remarkable benefits of the sea.
At La Mer there are several different types of job opportunities available. More information about the job opportunities is below.

The story of the legendary Crème de La Mer began half a century ago, when the the aerospace physicist Dr. Max Huber was the victim of a serious accident during one of the experiments he was carrying out in his laboratory. This leaded to severe burns on his face. As neither medicine nor science could help him to eliminate his scars, he decided to find a way of making them disappear and giving his skin a second youth. He dedicated 12 years of his life to the quest of transforming the look of his skin thanks to the healing power of the sea. After 6'000 experiments, his tenacity and faith payed off when he created the nutrient-rich Miracle BrothTM, La Mer's miraculous ingredient that enables him to transform his skin.
OUR SECRET OF THE SEA
Our journey began when Dr. Max Huber suffered burns in a lab accident and was inspired to create his own destiny. Aerospace Physicist by day, star-gazer and dreamer by night, he hoped to unlock the legendary healing powers of the sea he held so dear. 6,000 experiments and 12 years of searching led to the epiphany of a lifetime – a fermentation process that transformed sea kelp and other pure ingredients into Miracle Broth™. This cell-renewing elixir at the heart of Crème de la Mer would finally transform the look of his skin.
In the pristine waters off of Vancouver Island, we hand-harvest the kelp in an effort to help support its sustainability for generations to come. One of the fastest growing plants in the world, with exceptional self-regenerating powers, Giant Sea Kelp is at the heart of the Miracle Broth. Each time the Miracle Broth is created, it is infused with drops of the batch that came before it, creating a timeless link to our original. At the heart of every La Mer product today, Miracle Broth is as essential to Crème de la Mer as the sea itself.
