Ulli HaslacherFounder, Inventor & CEO, Pour Moi Skincare Beauty Futurist | Wellness Advocate | Beauty Tech InnovatorUlli Haslacher is the inventor of Climate-Smart® Skincare and the visionary Founder and CEO of Pour Moi Skincare—the world’s first skincare brand scientifically formulated to adapt in real time to the local climate. She revolutionized traditional beauty routines by creating a patent-protected rotating skincare system based on environmental adaptation—an innovation honored by TIME Magazine as one of the “100 Best Inventions of the Year” and published by the United States National Library of Medicine for its scientific and dermatological significance. It is likely the first non-medicated cosmetic invention in the beauty industry to achieve this distinction.At the forefront of the beauty tech movement, Ulli designed Pour Moi’s AI-powered tools—the Cream Finder and Drop Finder—to remove the guesswork from skincare. These real-time, environmental tools analyze local weather conditions and instantly guide users to the right product for the day. Integrated directly onto each bottle, they create a highly personalized experience that is both interactive and educational. This next-generation technology marks a bold leap in real-time skin optimization and drives conversion by giving consumers the “why” behind each choice—every day, everywhere.Before launching Pour Moi, Ulli co-owned an international company with the late Olivia Newton-John, dedicated to advancing breast cancer awareness through wellness campaigns and corporate partnerships. She also ran a successful boutique consulting firm specializing in women’s health, wellness, and beauty—advising dermatologists, start-ups, and Fortune 500 companies across product development, media, and retail.Her passion for climate was sparked early, shaped by a unique upbringing traveling the globe with her father, Robert Strouhal, who introduced climate-resilient industrial coatings from Austria to the world. That firsthand exposure to the power of local environments inspired Ulli to reimagine what skincare could—and should—be.Today, Ulli continues to lead Pour Moi’s growth as a disruptive force in beauty tech, blending science, sustainability, and smart technology to deliver climate-adaptive skincare that empowers consumers with healthier, more radiant skin—wherever life takes them.

Co-founder Anni Stromfeld started SIJO alongside childhood friend Jacob Xi after reconnecting and bonding over their common interest in entrepreneurship and a desire to build an ethical and sustainable business in the health/wellness area. Her vision was to transform the way consumers think and feel about the home. After working in high-stress, results-driven work environments and juggling her career and personal life, she sought to find balance in the chaos of life. The root of that: better, healthier sleep. This journey to find balance helped her (and Jacob) precisely identify the demands of the SIJO customers, using innovative fibers and materials to create the best possible products.Anni, Jacob and their team focus on creating sustainable, performance driven products that not only boast healthy benefits and unparalleled quality, but that have a simple, modern aesthetic that suits any home.
