La mer Cosemtics AG

 

La mer Cosmetics AG is a medium-sized company based on the North Sea coast of Germany which is committed to developing and producing exclusive, very well tolerated skincare products. La mer Cosmetics AG owns two brands La mer and LAMARIN: La mer products are available throughout Germany and other western European countries. Outside Europe the products are sold under the brand LAMARIN.

 

The company was founded in 1981 by the physiotherapist Paul Gojny and at the headquarters in Cuxhaven it currently employs around 60 people in research, production, quality management, packaging, administration, field sales and dispatch. La mer Cosmetics AG offers products, training courses and treatment plans for beauty professionals.

 

Sea silt is not only one of the purest natural products on earth, but - as an active ingredient in cosmetics - a true miracle cure for the care of different skin needs. La mer Cosmetics AG uses precious ingredients of sea silt in different care series - oxygen, healing earth, trace elements, sulphur, valuable minerals, amino acids as well as sea salt containing calcium and magnesium. La mer Cosmetics AG is the only company allowed to extract sea silt from the Wadden Sea of Lower Saxony. The Sea Silt Extract obtained in the company's own laboratory forms the basis of the unique La mer and LAMARIN skin care products, which are manufactured at the company headquarters in Cuxhaven according to the company motto "The origin of beauty" with the highest standards of quality and tolerance.

 

However, patience is required until the care products reach the crucible, as many production steps are still carried out by hand in the Cuxhaven laboratory. However, the detailed production of the unique Sea Silt Extract and the La mer ans LAMARIN care products remains a well-kept secret of the marine cosmetics specialist. The La mer and LAMARIN care portfolio currently comprise different series - tailored to the respective skin needs. In addition to classic cleansing, moisturising and anti-aging skincare, the Med range offers special care for sensitive, sensitive skin with a tendency to impurities.

 

Free of silicones, parabens and PEGs, the high-quality La mer and LAMARIN products are all "Made in Germany".We are certainly not producing any cosmetics in China. We at La mer Cosmetics have been against animal testing since our foundation in 1981. In accordance with the legislation of the European Union, La mer Cosmetics AG does not carry out animal experiments and does not commission any test series on animals.

La mer’s philosophy

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 and sea lover 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 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.

La mer Cosmetics AG quality

 

La mer and LAMARIN products are recommended particularly because they are very well tolerated. High quality is part of our commitment and vision: research and development take place under the most stringent conditions in our in-house laboratory. Close cooperation with medical professionals, including Prof. Dr. med. Harald P. M. Gollnick, Faculty of Dermatology at the Otto-von-Guericke University of Magdeburg, ensures that the very latest research flows into our product development activities. All products are “Made in Germany”, are produced according to the GMP standard (Good Manufacturing Practice, Cosmetic GMP EN ISO 22716 certification) and contain high-quality naturally active, high quality ingredients from the sea, including algae extracts and sea salt.

 

The core ingredient in all our products is oxygen and mineral-rich Sea Silt Extract which is extracted from North Sea silt using a unique, patented extraction process. The silt is harvested in a biotope not far from the company headquarters. The benefits and effectiveness of this unique substance are dermatologically tested.
