Kate takes us to the sea with the lore, history, and ingredients behind Creme De La Mer, the iconic and exorbitantly expensive face cream. Created by a scientist in the 1960s to heal injuries sustained in a laboratory explosion, the story of Creme de la Mer involves fermented sea kelp, gurgling sounds played for months to enhance the product, and a psychic hired by Estee Lauder to commune with its dead founder. Plus, we dig into the comparison with \\u201cGerman Nivea\\u201d \\u2013 is it really the same thing as Creme de la Mer, for hundreds of dollars less?
