EGF-related ingredients

EGF stands for epidermal growth factor, a protein the body makes naturally. In cosmetics, EGF-related ingredients are lab-made versions or relatives of it, and are marketed for skin conditioning.

What it is

Epidermal growth factor is a small protein found naturally in the body. Cosmetic versions are made in a laboratory, and on an ingredient list they often appear under names such as sh-Oligopeptide-1 or sh-Polypeptide-1.

“EGF-related” is a broad phrase. The Belurae Editor listing doesn't say which specific ingredient is used, so we can't tell you the exact name or amount.

Why it's used

Brands include EGF-related ingredients in leave-on products such as toners and serums as part of a skin-conditioning positioning.

Good to know

  • We make no claim about what EGF does in this toner beyond the manufacturer listing it as a key ingredient. The full ingredient list will show exactly what is inside once we have it.
