BIOEFFECT

EGF (Epidermal Growth Factor) is a signaling protein found naturally in our skin. It plays a vital role in the production of collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid to maintain skin’s healthy and dense appearance. Once we reach maturity, in our twenties, the natural production of growth factor proteins rapidly starts to decrease, and during menopause the depletion has become significant. As a result, cell turnover and repair slow, eventually affecting our appearance – skin starts to sag, and fine lines and wrinkles appear. To try to combat these visible signs of aging, BIOEFFECT scientists developed a way to produce plant-based EGF in barley, using cutting-edge biotechnology. Countless in-house scientific efficacy studies have shown that topical application of our Barley EGF skincare products can have a positive effect on the skin’s appearance.
