Selected small amounts of ingredients
With its expertise in growth factor skincare formulations, BIOEFFECT sets the standard for scientifically advanced skincare—using only a few carefully selected ingredients to ensure that growth factors remain stable, potent, and effective in the formulation.
Barley plants as hosts for growth factor production
BIOEFFECT growth factors are produced in collaboration with ORF Genetics, the founding company of BIOEFFECT. ORF Genetics uses a patented barley system to produce replicas of epidermal growth factor (EGF) and other human growth factors. BIOEFFECT growth factors are unique due to their production method, purity, and skincare benefits. Research shows that BIOEFFECT barley plant-derived growth factors can effectively penetrate and maintain their activity in the formula. As a host, barley is an ideal plant for producing growth factors due to the following advantages:
- Superior biocompatibility: Designed for optimal molecular compatibility with human skin.
- High purity and stability: Minimizes the risk of contamination and ensures consistent efficacy.
- Scalability and reliability: Stored in bioengineered barley seeds, achieving long-term stability and sustainable production.
- This makes the barley-based growth factor system more suitable for use in cosmetics than other growth factor production alternatives.
Plant-derived biocompatible growth factors
The barley plants, which serve as the host for growth factor production, are grown in greenhouses powered by Icelandic geothermal energy and irrigated with pure Icelandic water. After harvest, we extract and refine barley-derived growth factors into a pure, potent powder, which is then incorporated into the BIOEFFECT skincare formula. Therefore, your skin can effectively recognize and respond to these biocompatible growth factors, enhancing their efficacy.
Barley seed extract—another key ingredient
Another signature ingredient in BIOEFFECT skincare products is barley seed extract, a biotechnology-derived extract from barley seeds. Barley seed extract helps maintain the stability of growth factors in skincare formulations. It is a peptide-rich extract with multiple benefits, including promoting collagen formation, strengthening the skin barrier, and preventing moisture loss.
Suitable for all skin types
At BIOEFFECT, we use only 7 to 26 ingredients, and only those that the skin can truly understand. This means that BIOEFFECT products are non-toxic, safe, and suitable for all skin types.
