The Phytomer Story
Phytomer was founded in 1972 in Saint-Malo, Brittany, with a focus on marine-active skincare formulated around seaweed and deep-sea actives sourced from the French Atlantic coast. Five decades later, the brand is one of the most-distributed marine-skincare lines in global luxury spas, with formulations debuting in cabin-treatment protocols years before reaching retail. The Pionnière XMF anti-aging line and Hydra Continue hydration range are the most-recognised heroes, and the brand operates a tightly controlled seaweed-sourcing supply chain across Brittany.
