La Mer’s commitment to the ocean began when founder Dr. Max Huber was drawn to the rejuvenating powers of the Pacific Sea Kelp.  From this source he created the legendary Miracle Broth used in Crème de La Mer.  In his honor, La Mer proudly supports Oceana, the leading international ocean advocacy organisation.  Today, La Mer and Oceana announce a special partnership to raise awareness for World Ocean Day 2009.  As part of this partnership, La Mer has designed a limited-edition 250ml World Ocean Day Crème, with 100% of net proceeds going to Oceana.  The World Ocean Day limited edition Crème de la Mer will be sold in May and June at exclusive retailers worldwide, including Lane Crawford.

Net proceeds from the World Ocean Day limited edition Crème will go towards helping fund Oceana’s Habitat Protection Campaign and its 2009 Ranger Expedition helping protect the earth’s most precious resource, our oceans.  Ocean conservation has always been extremely important to La Mer.  By responsibly harvesting only the top section of the sea kelp that reaches the ocean’s surface, La Mer is able to help sustainably maintain the underwater sea kelp forest ecosystem and protect this marine plant for future generations.
