EGF Peptide Serum Booster
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.
What is in the bottle
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.
What rh-Oligopeptide-1 is
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.

How to use it

- Stir gently until uniform. Avoid whipping air in.
- Bottle, label with the date, and refrigerate.
Commonly used on the forehead, jawline and eye contours.

Questions & Answers
We recommend using a concentration of 10% of the Epidermal Growth Factor.
There are approxiamately 300 drops in a .5 ounce dropper bottle.
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.
