La Prairie

A true reflection of Swiss luxury, harnessing the precision, purity, and craftsmanship of its origins to combine artistic expression and age-defying skincare.

La Mer

Thanks to the legacy of Dr. Max Huber – an aerospace physicist – La Mer was born of a serendipitous breakthrough in experiments to heal burns from a lab accident.

Based off the pristine waters of Vancouver Island, this prestigious skin care range harnesses sustainable, hand-harvested kelp to feed the timeless, age-defying Miracle Broth. The staple at the heart of the brand, the world-renowned Crème de la Mer is a luxury that all discerning beauty aficionados strive for.
