La mer Cosmetics AG
We have made it our mission to produce particularly compatible, exclusive skin care products from one of the richest substances on earth: Sea Silt. As a North German company, we at La mer Cosmetics AG feel a special connection to the Wadden Sea National Park and its diverse natural treasures - and we know about the beauty-enhancing properties of its marine active ingredients.
Our History
In 1981, the physiotherapist Paul Gojny observed the beneficial effect that sea silt has on the skin and started using the marine components in sea silt in skincare products to alleviate a number of skin conditions and disorders. To this day, the company follows this philosophy; everything we do at La mer Cosmetics AG focuses on the people who use our products.
Already in the early 19th century, spa therapies were widespread along the Mediterranean coast. Seawater contains the same minerals and trace elements as human blood plasma, which is why the body can absorb and process them particularly well. In Germany, physiotherapist Paul Gojny discovered the positive effect of sea silt. The tides collect the minerals and trace elements of the sea water on the seabed and compress them into sediments. Their concentration in the silt is ten times higher than in sea water and thus forms a naturally created basis for particularly well-tolerated skin care. In its own laboratory in Cuxhaven, La mer Cosmetics AG continues the success story of Gojny to this day, isolating and processing the Sea Silt Extract obtained directly on the doorstep and refining it with other marine active ingredients into unique skin care products. The extraction of the sea silt from the sediments of the exclusive North Sea biotope in the Wadden Sea National Park of Lower Saxony is done by hand.
Corporate values
Quality
All LAMARIN skin care products are “Made in Germany” and are manufactured in accordance with the GMP standard (Good Manufacturing Practice, certification according to Cosmetic GMP EN ISO 22716). They contain marine active ingredients of the highest quality, such as algae extracts and sea salt. The unmistakable main ingredient of our marine cosmetics is Sea Silt Extract containing minerals and oxygen, which is obtained from North Sea silt using an exclusive extraction process that is unique in the world. It comes from a biotope in the immediate vicinity of the company headquarters. Its effectiveness has been dermatologically tested.
Skin compatibility
Our skincare is highly tolerable. We collaborate with medical professionals and incorporate the latest scientific findings. Research is conducted in our own laboratory.
Skincare from Northern Germany
Our marine cosmetics are 100% made in Germany. The development, production, and filling of our skincare products take place at our headquarters in Cuxhaven. There, right on the North Sea coast, we hold exclusive extraction rights for sea silt, which we harvest from a protected biotope and carefully process. Many production steps are still carried out by hand. All departments work closely, efficiently, and flexibly together to ensure the high quality of LAMARIN products at every stage. However, the detailed process behind our unique Sea Silt Extract and LAMARIN skincare remains our closely guarded secret.

We are partners of the Lower Saxony Wadden Sea National Park. Our goal is to protect the environment and promote the preservation of the Wadden Sea.
