Discover how Pour Moi harnesses moss’s extraordinary resilience with MossCellTec to protect, hydrate, and strengthen your skin—no matter the climate.
Updated: 9/7/2025
Moss may look simple, but it’s one of nature’s oldest survivors. Physcomitrella patens, a moss species that has thrived for over 400 million years, is celebrated in plant science for its remarkable adaptability (Reski, 1998). Inspired by this resilience, Mibelle Biochemistry created MossCellTec® technology—an award-winning innovation recognized with multiple global prizes—that harnesses the unique biology of moss to help skin stay protected, hydrated, and radiant in even the harshest environments.
What Is It and Why Is It Revolutionary?
In a nutshell, MossCellTec harnesses the extraordinary survival wisdom of moss and transforms it into powerful benefits for your skin. Through cutting-edge biotechnology, scientists isolated compounds from moss cells that preserve their climate-adaptive traits.
The result? An advanced adaptogen that supports cell nucleus health—a novel anti-aging concept—helping skin adapt to environmental stressors like a resilient natural system. (Cosmetics & Toiletries, 2019)
Clinically, MossCellTec has been shown to improve hydration, strengthen the skin barrier, and refine tone homogeneity in just two weeks—helping skin become more resilient in changing climates. Recognized with top global awards for innovation, it has earned a solid reputation as a breakthrough in skincare science (Mibelle Biochemistry, 2018)
Our Skin Barrier is Built for Survival
Your skin’s barrier, the stratum corneum, functions like a fortress—locking in hydration and keeping environmental aggressors out. MossCellTec reinforces this protective layer by boosting hydration, reducing water loss, and strengthening barrier proteins, even under dry, humid, or polluted conditions. By fortifying the stratum corneum, it helps keep skin plump, smooth, and protected in the face of everyday stressors
With 2% in a formulation, MossCellTec helps reinforce the stratum corneum, keeping skin hydrated, plump, and smooth in harsh environmental conditions.
Weather the Storm: Adaptation in Action
One of the standout features of MossCellTec is its adaptogenic ability—its power to help skin adapt to sudden climatic changes. Think of it as your skin’s personal weather shield. Whether facing heat, humidity, cold, or dryness, MossCellTec supports skin’s natural defenses, helping it stay resilient, youthful, and radiant
From Switzerland to Pour Moi: The Birth of Weather-Proof Drops
In 2019, Dr. Fred Zülli, founder of Mibelle Biochemistry, and Ulli Haslacher, founder of Pour Moi Skincare, aligned their expertise after meeting in Los Angeles. Together, they united Mibelle’s breakthrough moss biotechnology with Pour Moi Institute scientists at MS BeautiLab. The result was the extraordinary Weather-Proof Drops—the world’s first serum booster designed to integrate seamlessly into any skincare routine and deliver true weather-proof protection.
The Pour Moi Weather-Proof Drops Collection: MossCellTec in Action
Pour Moi Skincare’s Weather-Proof Drops are the ultimate expression of MossCellTec technology. These three innovative serum boosters don’t just respond to environmental challenges—they proactively reinforce skin resilience to keep it looking youthful and radiant.

Sunlight Drops: Powered with a Chicory Root active and 2% MossCellTec™, they boost inner radiance, reduce transepidermal water loss, and support healthy barrier regeneration.
-
Smoke Alarm Drops: Formulated with Lipobelle Pino C and 2% MossCellTec™, they reduce inflammation by up to 80%, accelerate skin repair, and strengthen barrier function—ideal for skin stressed by pollution and smoke.
-
Rain Drops: Enriched with Relipidium™ and 2% MossCellTec™, they increase ceramides, balance skin’s microbiome, and accelerate barrier recovery for deep hydration and smoothness.
Each formula also incorporates Pour Moi’s patented Climate-Smart® Shield—a barrier system with multi-molecular hyaluronic acid and French white truffle, published by the NIH, that delivers advanced moisture retention and environmental defense. MossCellTec™ was specifically formulated to elevate this defense shield, helping skin respond more calmly and effectively to sudden climate changes.
Together, the three Weather-Proof Drops form a first-of-its-kind system that adapts to any climate condition, giving your skin true weather-proof protection.
