Summary
[You’re listening to a preview of this month’s Product Recall, available exclusively on our Patreon. To hear the full episode, join us at patreon.com/forever35.]
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 “German Nivea” – is it really the same thing as Creme de la Mer, for hundreds of dollars less?
