LA MER BLUE HEART
With our Blue Heart initiative, we aim to give back to the ocean which has provided us with so much. Through awareness-raising programs, partnerships with inspiring environmental advocates, and charitable donations through the La Mer Blue Heart Oceans Fund, we’re committed to helping protect marine habitats across the globe in hopes of ensuring flourishing seas for generations to come.
Over 90% of La Mer’s sea plants are responsibly sourced.
