Mountain Day Cream

High-Altitude Defense for Mountain Conditions

Specifically formulated for cool, dry, high-altitude climates—from the Rocky Mountains and Sierra Nevada to elevated desert basins and alpine lake regions—this adaptive moisturizer keeps skin balanced when thin air, low atmospheric pressure, strong UV exposure, and rapid moisture loss combine to challenge the skin barrier. Mountain weather may feel crisp and invigorating, but its low humidity and intense sunlight dehydrate skin far faster than at sea level.

Powered by our Climate-Smart® Shield technology—an adaptive complex of multi-weight hyaluronic acids and a high-performing truffle active rich in antioxidants—the Shield is further engineered for high-altitude conditions, where thin air makes it significantly harder for skin to hold moisture and maintain a stable barrier. After two additional years of R&D to solve this unique challenge, the Shield is reinforced with plant-derived squalane, nourishing alpine lipids, and soothing oat kernel extract. Together, these actives create a high-performance hydration barrier that helps skin withstand cold winds, rapid moisture evaporation, and intense high-altitude oxidative stress.

At elevation, UV intensity increases by 4–10% for every 1,000 feet, accelerating oxidative damage and visible signs of aging. To counter this, the formula provides amplified antioxidant support from botanicals, vitamins, and alpine plant stem cell extracts. Meanwhile, deep hydration boosters—including Saccharide Isomerate, humectant glycols, and natural marine minerals—help skin build its own internal hydration reservoir, improving resilience in thin, moisture-depleted air.

Fortified with advanced peptides and a vitamin A+C+E complex for global anti-aging support, Mountain Day Cream helps improve texture, tone, firmness, and radiance—even in constantly shifting alpine weather. It delivers targeted high-altitude hydration while supporting long-term barrier strength and skin longevity.

Results: Comfortable, deeply hydrated, resilient skin with improved smoothness and radiance — even during long days outdoors in arid, high-altitude climates.

The First Skincare Engineered for Your Weather

Pour Moi’s patented Climate-Smart® geo-moisturization system is based on the science of how skin changes with temperature, humidity, and environmental stressors.

Instead of using the same moisturizer year-round, our rotating Day Creams are engineered for specific climates—delivering real-time balance, barrier support, and anti-aging results rooted in global dermatological and pharmaceutical climate research and patented innovation.

And with our AI CreamFinder™, you never have to guess which cream to use—the system provides real-time environmental guidance simply by scanning the QR code on your cap.

Climate-Smart® Shield Complex

A patented adaptive complex that helps skin build its own internal hydration reservoir—critical in thin, low-pressure mountain air where moisture escapes rapidly.

• Sodium Hyaluronate — multi-weight hyaluronic acids that hydrate both surface and deeper layers
• Tuber Aestivum Extract — high-performing truffle active rich in antioxidants
• Saccharide Isomerate — skin-identical humectant that binds long-lasting hydration to the skin
• Glycerin — foundational humectant that supports a stable moisture balance

Mountain-Specific Enhancers

Targeted actives that fortify skin against dry altitude air, strong UV exposure, and rapid moisture loss.

• Maris Aqua (Sea Water) — mineral-rich hydration that helps support electrolyte balance
• Salicornia Herbacea Extract — moisture-boosting coastal succulent that enhances water retention
• Propanediol & Pentylene Glycol — lightweight humectants that boost deep hydration
• Oryza Sativa (Rice) Bran & Germ Oils — nourishing lipids that reinforce and replenish the barrier
• Squalane — plant-derived lipid that prevents moisture loss in thin air
• Avena Sativa (Oat) Kernel Extract — soothing extract rich in beta-glucans, ideal for wind-exposed skin
• Litchi Chinensis Pericarp Extract — antioxidant botanical that supports protection against oxidative stress
• Vitis Vinifera (Grape) Flower Cell Extract — plant stem cell extract that helps defend against high-UV aging

Vitamin Complex

Essential antioxidants to support brighter, smoother, more resilient skin at elevation.

• Ascorbyl Palmitate (Vitamin C) — brightens and supports collagen
• Tocopheryl Acetate & Tocopherol (Vitamin E) — antioxidant defense against UV-intensified free radicals
• Retinyl Palmitate (Vitamin A) — promotes smoother texture and skin renewal

Peptide

• Palmitoyl Tripeptide-38 — advanced peptide that helps improve firmness and reduce the appearance of wrinkles

Additional Hydration & Barrier Support

• Peg-75 Shea Butter Glycerides — moisture-binding emollient support
• Coenochloris Signiensis Extract — nutrient-rich microalgae that helps reinforce barrier recovery
• Pumpkin Seed Extract — antioxidant botanical that nourishes and supports skin resilience
