Why do we get excited about EGF - Epidermal Growth Factor?

Posted by Dr. Hannah Sivak and Susan Katz on May 7th 2019

Epidermal Growth Factor (EGF) is one of the most important ingredients when it comes to skin health. It signals healing, cellular division and increased protein synthesis (among other benefits). We need it.

EGF declines as we age, like many other cell functions. But when you apply EGF to the skin, it signals for generalized increased skin activity, rather than stimulation, to make more of a single protein. It has been commonly known since its discovery in the 1960s how valuable this growth factor is to overall skin health.

But, EGF was not available just a few years ago. Its use in cosmetics became possible only after molecular biology “evolved” out of biochemistry. The science behind Skin Actives EGF is amazing and elegant and makes it possible for the benefits of epidermal growth factor to be accessible to many of us.

Epidermal Growth Factor can be found in many Skin Actives products, including our best selling product Collagen Serum. Explore some of our popular EGF products that many of our products contain.
