Our history and our lives are closely intertwined with what surrounds us every day: the sea. We love it passionately and it serves us well. Thanks to the sea, we are able to develop exclusive high-quality products.
Through its support of SEA ART, PHYTOMER reaffirms its attachment to the sea. The magnificent documentary series directed by Maud Baignières uses Art as a way to build awareness of our need to save the oceans.
“PHYTOMER scientists are the first in the world to cultivate the sea in the laboratory to amplify its power for the skin. They create high-quality, ecologically responsible formulas by controlling every step from discovery of the active ingredient to production of the final product.”

We are inspired by scientific research and by the beauty of the sea. To combine these passions, PHYTOMER created a unique laboratory entirely dedicated to marine biotechnologies. A laboratory where human synergies are combined to push the boundaries of research ever further.
