Epidermal Growth Factor (EGF) is a skincare ingredient that helps reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, improve overall tone and texture, and support rejuvenation and revitalization. EGF consists of small proteins that assist in promoting skin health. It signals cellular division and protein synthesis that can ultimately reduce signs of aging.

Growth factors can be stabilized by properly formulating your product to a pH of 5-6 and with a glycerin content of 10-50% with a higher percentage being preferred. According to the the following linked study, a combination of phosphates or citric acid is the preferred pH buffer to inhibit reactions and stabilize growth factors at room temperature.
