Best Skincare Active Ingredients for 2024

As a leading-edge skincare innovator, what are we working on for 2024? To us, four active ingredients stand out as revolutionary ingredients set to redefine skincare routines this year: Epidermal Growth Factor, Honey Bee Defensin-1, Superoxide Dismutase, and Keratinocyte Growth Factor.

1. Epidermal Growth Factor (EGF): This powerful protein, naturally produced by the skin, plays a pivotal role in cell growth, regeneration, and healing. Incorporating EGF into skincare promotes the revitalization of skin cells, aiding in reducing fine lines, wrinkles, and improving overall skin texture. In 2024, expect a surge in EGF-based products as more individuals seek potent anti-aging solutions.

Skin Actives Product Recommendation: High Potency EGF Serum - Formulated to enhance skin repair and rejuvenation, this serum harnesses the regenerative power of EGF to promote youthful, radiant skin.

2. Honey Bee Defensin-1: Much like honey, Royal Jelly—a substance secreted by bees—shares some remarkable beneficial properties. Both are believed to possess skin-repairing abilities and act as a defense against the adverse effects of external pollution. Scientific research has unveiled that some of these effects can be attributed to the presence of Defensin-1 in both substances. However, while Royal Jelly contains Defensin-1, obtaining it is costly and environmentally harmful as it exploits bees. Skin Actives' Honey Bee Defensin-1 has the power of royal jelly without harming bees.

Skin Actives Product Recommendation: Regenerating Defensin Serum - Infused with Honey Bee Defensin-1, contains as much defensin-1 as an ounce of royal jelly, making it an incredibly potent source of this restorative active.

3. Superoxide Dismutase (SOD): Recognized for its potent antioxidant properties, SOD combats free radicals, shielding the skin from oxidative stress and environmental damage. By neutralizing harmful free radicals, SOD helps in preventing premature aging, reducing inflammation, and enhancing the skin's overall health and radiance. Anticipate a surge in SOD-infused skincare products as consumers prioritize protection against environmental aggressors. 

Skin Actives Product Recommendation: Rejuvenating Antioxidant Serum is a powerful solution for mature skin that has been damaged by years of exposure to UV rays, blue rays, and pollutants.

4. Keratinocyte Growth Factor (KGF): Known for its role in promoting cell proliferation and wound healing, KGF stimulates the production of keratinocytes, aiding in repairing and rejuvenating damaged skin. Keratinocyte Growth Factor (KGF) isn't just a powerhouse for skin rejuvenation; it also holds significant promise for promoting hair growth. This growth factor plays a pivotal role in stimulating cell proliferation, particularly in the hair follicles. Scientific studies have highlighted its potential to enhance hair growth and thickness by rejuvenating dormant follicles and promoting the proliferation of hair cells. 

Skin Actives Product Recommendation: Double Action Hair Serum is a meticulously crafted formulation that combines the benefits of Keratinocyte Growth Factor with other potent ingredients tailored to support hair and scalp health.
