La Mer
La Mer was founded in 1965 by aerospace physicist Dr. Max Huber, who spent 12 years developing the brand's signature Miracle Broth from sea kelp. Now owned by Estée Lauder Companies, La Mer is one of the most recognized luxury skincare brands globally, though its core Miracle Broth ingredient remains proprietary and its specific clinical evidence is limited to brand-funded studies.
