The science of high-altitude protection

Discover how our Mountain Moisturizer protects and nourishes your skin in the world's harshest conditions.

The high-altitude challenge

At high altitudes, your skin faces three major threats that regular moisturizers simply can't handle.

Extreme UV Exposure

UV radiation increases by 10-12% for every 1,000 meters. At 5,000m, you're exposed to 50-60% more UV than at sea level.

Drastically Low Humidity

Humidity can drop to 10-20% or lower, causing rapid moisture loss from your skin faster than your body can replace it.

Harsh Wind & Temperature

Rapid temperature fluctuations and harsh winds stress your skin's protective barrier, making it vulnerable to damage.

Our four-layer defense system

We developed a unique formula that addresses each challenge with scientifically-proven ingredients.

Layer 1

SPF 30 UV Shield

Broad-spectrum protection specifically calibrated for high-altitude UV exposure. Shields against both UVA and UVB rays that are significantly more intense at elevation.

Layer 2

Squalane Barrier Protection

Creates a protective barrier that prevents transepidermal water loss while allowing skin to breathe. Mimics your skin's natural oils for maximum compatibility.

Layer 3

D-Panthenol Repair System

Accelerates skin barrier repair and wound healing. Deeply hydrates by attracting and holding water in the skin, reducing inflammation and soothing irritation.

Sea Buckthorn Regeneration

Rich in vitamins C, E, A, and omega-7 fatty acids. Provides powerful antioxidant protection, supports skin regeneration, and promotes collagen production for elasticity.

How to use

Get the most out of your Mountain Moisturizer with our recommended application routine.

1

Cleanse

Start with clean, dry skin. Use lukewarm water to avoid stripping natural oils.

2

Apply generously

Use a nickel-sized amount for face and neck. Don't forget ears and the backs of your hands.

3

Wait 15 minutes

Allow the product to fully absorb before sun exposure for maximum protection.

4

Reapply regularly

Every 1-2 hours at high altitude, or immediately after sweating or getting wet.

Tested in the world's harshest conditions

We tested our formula on expeditions ranging from the Himalayas to the Andes, in temperatures from -20°C to 30°C, and at altitudes up to 6,000 meters. The result? A moisturizer that actually works when you need it most.
