The NMF is your complexion’s control center for everything related to its appearance, its health, its resilience and most importantly, its adaptation to different climates. For extraordinary skincare results, formulations must help skin replenish and balance its ever changing NMF biochemistry which is exactly what Climate-Smart® does.
Traditional anti-aging methods—based on age, ethnicity, gender, and even skin type—are outdated.
The future is climate-specific skincare that hydrates, nourishes, and protects your skin in any environment. This revolutionary approach helps repair existing damage and keeps your skin youthful, healthy, and radiant.
We call it Climate-Smart.
Millions of Years in the Making
The Genius of Our Skin
Our skin has evolved over millions of years to become incredibly smart, adapting and responding effectively to different environmental conditions.
It’s the stratum corneum, the skin’s outermost layer, that dynamically adjusts its moisturizing and barrier functions depending on the external conditions it faces—heat, cold, humidity, dryness, light, pollution, allergens, and more.
YOUR SKIN IS NATURALLY CLIMATE-SMART
What is the NMF and why does it matter?
BECOMING CLIMATE-SMART®
Can a single formulation mirror skin's ever-changing NMF?
No! The same formulation won’t work in all climates because your skin radically changes in different climates. For any skincare to work consistently, its creams need to change along with the climate. Thus utilizing climate-specific delivery systems, textures, and ingredients. Traditional skincare doesn’t offer climate-specific creams but Pour Moi does.
Our groundbreaking creams are all biomimetic formulations. In science the term “biomimetic” means “inspired by nature.” For cosmeceutical formulations that are Climate-Smart, this means each formula mimics the natural biochemistry of a healthy complexion in a distinctive climate.
Even the smartest skin needs help
Climate Change And Your Skin
As climate change reshapes our planet, the impact on our skin becomes more pronounced.
Recent research studies from leading European and U.S. medical institutions confirm the same: fluctuating temperatures, increased UV radiation, and higher pollution levels pose a threat to our skin's health and appearance. Climate-Smart skincare addresses these challenges by adapting to the changing environment, ensuring your skin remains protected and beautiful.
Adapt to any local climate in the world
Act Local And Benefit Global
The genius of Climate-Smart skincare lies in its innovative products, scientifically tailored to local climate conditions while functioning as a cohesive global system.
Designed to work together, Climate-Smart formulas can be rotated and switched out seasonally or even daily as local climate conditions change, without causing skin irritation or losing the long-term benefits of active ingredients.
When it comes to your skin, act local but think global.
IT'S A NEW CATEGORY IN BEAUTY
Clinically Validated
An independent laboratory tested skin’s hydration levels in a climate-simulation room to determine if skin moisture stays constant or altered when exposed to various humidity & temperature levels.
Pour Moi works! In a pilot study with four major climates that affect skin – desert, polar, tropical and temperate, participants using Pour Moi experienced significantly less fluctuation in optimal skin hydration levels compared to other brands.
The findings confirmed what we already knew: Climate affects skincare results, simple as that!
Different climates affect skincare results much differently, but Pour Moi alleviates the negative climatic effects by formulating and customizing its Day Creams to aligns with the distinctive weather conditions of an actual climate.

UNBIASED EVIDENCE-BASED STUDIES
Medical research leads to new understanding on how skin works
For skin: The studies show clearly that our complexion, the most outer skin layers, radically change in different climates.
For products: The studies reveal that in order to maximize ingredients and delivery systems efficacy once applied on the skin, a formulation must take the local climate into account.
For the FIRST time in beauty, we’ve applied these new findings to create climate-specific formulations that have shown unparalleled efficacy.

PATENTED AND PROVEN
Decoding Climate-Smart
Climate-Smart products are scientifically tailored to provide your skin with effective antioxidants and the optimal hydration it needs to thrive in specific local and seasonal climates.
But the real secret to skincare success lies in the daily moisturizers. For skincare products to work best, your Day Cream must properly lock in the anti-aging ingredients delivered by the balancer and serum while protecting the delicate surface from today's local weather challenges.
The Role of the Rotating Day creams
Dress your skin like you dress yourself, depending on the weather.
Tested and proven
Patented Climate-Smart® skincare
The only problem is… this is NOT how skin really works.
By now, medical research has discovered the many different ways skin changes in various climates. WE discovered how those changes in skin and air (your local climate) impact the efficacy of skin care products. We then formulated the world’s first climate-based skincare products and a new method for achieving youthful skin: our patented Climate-Smart® 3-Step Rotating System.
It’s called a Rotating System because for Step 3, you rotate within a range of climate-specific moisturizers. You dress your skin like you dress yourself. As an example, if it’s a cold winter day you apply our Polar Day Cream but if the weather has changed over night and now you’re experiencing a mild, spring-like winter day, you rotate to the Temperate Day Cream...voila, you have amazing results!

TESTED AND PROVEN TO WORK
Independent study results: 100% say Climate-Smart works
Throughout 2020, an independent 3rd-party research company put Climate-Smart Pour Moi 3-Step Rotating System to the test in different local climates and seasons. More studies are on the way.
PATENTED & PROPRIETARY
Geo-hydraD Complex™ by climate
It’s the vital operating system of our Climate-Smart formulas. It hydrates skin by climate utilizing inventive shield-building technology AND it keeps the actives stable within the skin to ensure proper efficacy and optimal release in the climate you’re in.
Due to the adaptive nature of our complex, it has the unique ability to self-adjust to meet the skin’s ever-changing needs within the nuances of a specific climate.
HAVE YOU SEEN ULLI'S HAND YET?
EXTRAORDINARY results!
Traditionally, Before & After photos have been the only visible evidence of what results to expect from new skincare products, but our founder Ulli came up with a new way:
She sacrificed the appearance of one of her hands to demonstrate the efficacy of our climate-specific formulas.
After using Pour Moi’s patented Climate-Smart® 3-Step Rotating System for one year on her left hand only, dermatologists have estimated the perceived age difference between Ulli’s hands to be as much as 30 years.
The protective role of skin barrier function
An important function of our skin is the barrier function. It controls the trans-epidermal evaporation of water, ions and amino acids and protect our body from a variety of allergens or external stress factors. Stratum corneum is the skin layer responsible for barrier function.
In it, corneocytes are embedded in an intercellular matrix composed of lipids and natural moisturizing factor (NMF) fundamental to retain the optimal skin hydration.
Factors like UV rays, irritants, and soaps are known to cause the wash out of the intercellular skin matrix components, in particular impairing the production of NMF.
The importance of good skin hydration
Moisturizing treatments are able to restore the skin integrity and lipid barrier’s function, retaining the epidermal water content.
Skin hydration is linked to the skin barrier function and is important for maintaining a healthy skin barrier. Suitable moisturizer or skin barrier-repairing ingredients can help protect our skin, and can help restore skin’s barrier.
The consequent reduction of the natural moisturizing factors provokes skin dryness weaken the integrity of the skin barrier.
