THE NEW RENEWAL BODY OIL BALM

Beauty editors swear by it. Devotees can’t live without it. La Mer reimagines The Renewal Oil, bringing its head-turning radiance and treatment benefits to the entire body. Every sumptuous touch of the NEW Renewal Body Oil Balm wraps skin in a transformational wave of Miracle BrothTM-infused soothing hydration and the kiss of a gorgeous, healthy-looking sheen.

VISIBLY HEALTHY AND HYDRATED

The Renewal Body Oil Balm cocoons skin in Miracle Broth, the legendary cell-renewing elixir that flows through all of La Mer – and precious Miracle Broth Oils to help soothe dryness and visible redness and irritation. Skin is nourished and softened, its barrier strengthened, and resiliency renewed. Texture is visibly improved and skin looks and feels smoother. Potent antioxidant power neutralizes free radicals to help protect skin from environmental pollution.

A SENSORIAL EXPERIENCE

The concentrated balm is activated by the warmth of the skin, transforming into a lightweight, silken oil on contact to create a radiant, glowing look, while delivering powerful treatment benefits. Influenced by the natural scents of the Miracle Broth oils combined with orange flower, woody, soft floral and tea notes, the aroma soothes the senses and instills a feeling of calm and relaxation.

THE ULTIMATE HEAD-TO-TOE GLOW

La Mer treats the body as seriously as it treats the complexion. The Renewal Body Oil Balm doubles as a treatment for knees, elbows, cuticles, heels, and other areas in need of special attention. Together with The Renewal Oil, this duo imparts skin with soothing hydration for a luxurious all-over glow.

The secrets behind Crème de La Mer

What began as one man’s journey became transformative experience that would be
whispered about all over the world…
Some say it’s magic. 

Some say it’s science.
Others just believe.

As the groundbreaking skin-care brand turned 50, we reveal the secrets behind the delicate science of Crème’s enduring appeal.


1.  Driven to find a treatment for his own burn scars, it took aerospace physicist Dr. Max Huber 12 years and 6,000 experiments with ingredients and time-intensive bio-fermentation to develop the formula for Crème de la Mer. Today, the rarefied mixture has never been more popular.

2.  Each jar of Crème de la Mer is hand-filled within eight hours of the formula’s completion, with the room’s temperature tightly controlled.

3. When La Mer’s sea kelp is harvested in the spring and fall, it’s shipped directly to the lab on ice. Because only the top fronds are used, the plant remains unharmed.

4. To speed up the fermentation process, the Miracle Broth is exposed to pulsating sound waves and light energy from specialized equipment, which intensifies potency. To maintain the integrity of every batch, a small portion of Broth from the previous is added to the next.

5. Known officially as the Miracle Broth, La Mer’s secret sauce is a powerful blend of sea kelp, calcium, magnesium, potassium, iron, lecithin and vitamins C, E and B12, along with oils of citrus, eucalyptus, wheat germ, alfalfa and sunflower. Fresh limes are hand peeled to maximize the living benefits of the rind, then added as Lime Tea Extract.
