EGF - Epidermal Growth Factor

Recombinant Epidermal Growth Factor is a water-based active blend featuring sh-Oligopeptide-1 (EGF) alongside supporting growth-factor peptides and collagen. Bioidentical to the growth factors naturally found in skin, it’s a hero ingredient for anti-ageing and barrier-support formulas — helping improve the appearance of fine lines, texture and tone.

How to use

• Add at the final cool-down stage of your formula, below 40°C (around 25°C is ideal).
• Blend in at 1–5% (3% is a good general starting point for anti-ageing formulas).
• Mix for at least 15 minutes, then allow the formula to rest 6–12 hours to fully incorporate.
• Best in formulas with a pH of 3–5 for maximum stability.
