Ingredient overview

What is EGF?

EGF, or epidermal growth factor, is a signalling protein studied in wound healing, regeneration and aesthetic applications. Cosmetic products may use recombinant growth factors or peptide-style INCI names such as sh-oligopeptide-1.

Topical delivery is challenging because growth factors are relatively large molecules, and evidence differs by formulation and application method. Luxiface therefore treats EGF as an emerging technology and avoids equating cosmetic use with clinical regenerative treatments.

How to use it

Use according to the finished product format and strength. Introduce concentrated age-support treatments gradually, and keep the rest of the routine simple enough to distinguish useful effects from irritation.

Pairing guidance

Routine compatibility

Compatibility depends on the specific ingredient and finished formula. Most age-support ingredients can coexist with hydrating and barrier steps; stronger retinoid or delivery technologies deserve a simpler routine to limit irritation.

Formula context matters

Good to know

Growth-factor evidence varies by molecule, delivery system and application method, and topical penetration can be limited. Cosmetic EGF should not be treated as equivalent to clinical regenerative procedures.
