EGF is an anti-aging miracle worker that regenerates your complexion. 53 Amino Acids accelerate cell turnover, improve elasticity, and healthy collagen!
The Epidermal Growth Factor is the best ingredient to support fibroblast proliferation. As a result, it regenerates your skin's ability to reduce the appearance of wrinkles.
A liposomal booster built around rh-Oligopeptide-1, a 53 amino acid sequence. Used at 1 to 10% in your own serums and lotions for the look of firmer, smoother skin.
This is a formulation ingredient, not a finished serum. Do not apply it undiluted.
INCI: Water (Aqua), Phospholipids, rh-Oligopeptide-1
Three ingredients. The peptide is encapsulated in phospholipid liposomes rather than sitting loose in solution.
Clear liquid. Water-soluble. Odourless. Paraben-free. Made in the USA. 0.5 fl oz blue glass dropper bottle.
rh-Oligopeptide-1 is the INCI name for what the industry calls EGF — a 53 amino acid sequence produced by recombinant methods. It is one of the longer sequences used in cosmetic formulating; most peptides on this site are three to eight amino acids.
The liposomal encapsulation is the point of this particular version: phospholipid carriers are used to improve stability and delivery compared with an unencapsulated solution.
Recommended usage rate is 1 to 10%. Using our house rate of 9 drops per 1% per fluid ounce:

Was this EGF derived from a human source or from plants?
It's a recombinant protein. It is not the bioengineered plant EGF from barley.
Will this product, or any of your products, help get rid of adult facial milia?
The use of an exfoliating cleanser with Salicylic Acid like our Alpha Hydroxy Probiotic Cleanser can help. If Malia persist, a dermatologist can remove them.
Is there any combination of this product and others that is not recommended? ie; Argireline , or vitamin c.
No, epidermal growth factor can be used with most other ingredients. However, it can be difficult to formulate a serum with EGF and Vitamin C due to oxidation and therefore, we recommend using a separate Vitamin C serum alongside the EGF.
Is this product Gluten and wheat free?
There is no added gluten or wheat in the EGF serum. Please visit this link to view our gluten-free products.
Please advise as to whether serum or cream base works best for egf drops. What percentage do you recommend. How many drops are in the .5 oz bottle. Thanks
Using a hyaluronic acid (HA) serum as a base for epidermal growth factor (EGF) drops is beneficial because HA deeply hydrates the skin, creating a conducive environment for EGF to work effectively. This combination addresses hydration needs, enhances cellular renewal, and promotes skin regeneration, solving issues like dryness, aging signs, and facilitating the efficacy of growth factors for improved skin health and appearance.
We recommend using a concentration of 10% of the Epidermal Growth Factor.
There are approxiamately 300 drops in a .5 ounce dropper bottle.
Can I leave EGF at room temperature for few months? What's the shelf life of EGF
Epidermal Growth Factor should be refrigerated upon arrival. It's shelf-life is 12 months.
