Collaborating with LAMER in Singapore!
On 2023 July, we had the pleasure of collaborating with LA MER in Singapore!
An event dedicated to exploring La Mer’s innovative skincare solutions - that which taps into seaweed, one of the ocean’s many wonders. One of the main raw resources they use to formulate their Miracle Broth is giant kelp, as the name implies, the largest genus of phaeophyta or brown algae in the world.

An example of the endless possibilities within the world of seaweed; our collaboration is far from the pinnacle, but nevertheless exciting and inspiring to learn how different fields and industries around the world are pushing the boundaries utilising seaweed as a resource. We hope the event was just as eye-opening in a culinary sense!
