F.A.Q.

Growth factors are naturally occurring signaling proteins that play a crucial role in cell communication, repair, and rejuvenation. At birth, our skin is rich in these proteins, which help maintain healthy skin functions such as collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid production—keeping the skin firm, smooth, and hydrated.

As early as our 20s, the natural production of growth factors begins to decline, slowing cell turnover and repair. This process accelerates with age, particularly during menopause, leading to visible signs of aging such as sagging skin, fine lines, and wrinkles. BIOEFFECT skincare aims to slow down the skin’s aging process by using growth factors as the key ingredient.

The key growth factors in our skin are:

• Epidermal Growth Factor (EGF): Stimulates cell renewal, collagen production, and wound healing.

• Keratinocyte Growth Factor (KGF): Supports skin barrier function and hydration by promoting keratinocyte proliferation.

• Interleukin-1 Alpha (IL-1a): Plays a role in inflammation and skin regeneration, helping to initiate repair processes.

By using a replica of these three human growth factors in the BIOEFFECT skincare line, our products target key visible signs of aging. These growth factors work in synergy to support the skin’s natural production of collagen and elastin, leaving it visibly firmer and rejuvenated.

Human growth factors are proteins naturally occurring in the body, playing crucial roles in cellular communication, repair and rejuvenation processes.

In contrast, BIOEFFECT's growth factors, including the signature Epidermal Growth Factor (EGF), are scientifically developed bio-compatible replicas of human growth factors produced using highly-advanced plant biotechnology.

BIOEFFECT's growth factors are produced using advanced plant biotechnology, with barley plants serving as production hosts. This innovative method ensures the creation of pure, stable, and effective growth factors for our skincare products.

The production process involves:

1. Barley plants are used as hosts to produce replicas of human growth factors.
2. These engineered barley plants are cultivated in an Icelandic greenhouse powered by sustainable geothermal energy and irrigated with pure Icelandic water, providing optimal growth conditions.
3. Once matured, the barley is harvested, and the growth factors are extracted from the barley seed and purified for use in BIOEFFECT's skincare formulations.

This production approach offers advantages such as superior biocompatibility with human growth factors, high purity, and stability.

BIOEFFECT utilizes barley as the host plant for producing growth factors due to its unique advantages. The key reasons include:

1. Superior Biocompatibility – Barley-derived growth factors closely replicate human growth factors, ensuring optimal molecular compatibility with the skin.
2. Sustainability – Our barley plants are cultivated in a greenhouse in Iceland using sustainable geothermal energy and pure Icelandic water, making the process eco-friendly and minimizing the carbon footprint.
3. Stability and Scalability – The growth factors are stored in barley seeds, allowing for long-term stability and consistent, controlled production.

This innovative production process ensures that BIOEFFECT’s skincare products contain highly effective, pure, and ethically sourced growth factors.

Growth factors have become a significant trend in skincare due to their superior efficacy in age-defying skincare, specifically their ability to promote skin regeneration, enhance elasticity, and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

At BIOEFFECT, we incorporate three growth factors in our skincare line, all produced in barley using plant-biotechnology with EGF (Epidermal Growth Factor) being the key signature ingredient.

With expertise in growth factor skincare formulations, BIOEFFECT sets the standard for scientifically advanced skincare—using only a few carefully selected ingredients that the skin truly understands, ensuring that the growth factors remain stable, potent, and effective in the formula.

Yes, BIOEFFECT growth factors are biocompatible with human growth factors. They are designed to mimic the structure and function of naturally occurring human growth factors.

EGF (Epidermal Growth Factor) is a naturally occurring signaling protein that supports essential skin functions, including collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid production—key factors in maintaining skin thickness, density, smoothness, and firmness.

BIOEFFECT EGF is a replica of human growth factors, produced using plant biotechnology. It is the age-defying signature ingredient in our skincare line.

Results from scientific studies show that topical application of BIOEFFECT EGF skincare can have a powerful and positive effect on the skin’s appearance—boosting hydration, improving visible skin elasticity and reducing the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. It has also been shown to help support skin’s natural collagen production to keep skin looking smooth, healthy, and dense.

No. BIOEFFECT's EGF and other growth factors in our skincare are not GMO. The barley plants, the hosts for our growth factor production, are GMO (Genetically Modified Organism)—however, the growth factors themselves are not classified as GMO.

Growth factors and exosomes are both crucial components in regenerative skincare, but they differ significantly in their composition and function. Growth factors are single proteins that promote specific cellular activities such as cell division and collagen production. They are straightforward and effective, targeting particular aspects of skin health. In contrast, exosomes are complex vesicles that carry a diverse array of bioactive molecules, including proteins, lipids, and RNA.

Our growth factors are biocompatible with human growth factors and therefore highly effective in supporting the skin’s natural collagen production, cell repair and regeneration.

Yes, BIOEFFECT products are suitable for all skin types—even the most sensitive. We strive to use as few and pure ingredients as possible and only those that the skin can truly understand. Our skincare products are non-toxic and free from fragrance, parabens, alcohol, and mineral oil.

Cleansing the skin is an important first step, preparing the skin for the full benefits of subsequent skincare products. We recommend cleansing the skin daily, both morning and evening, to effectively remove impurities, dead skin cells, makeup, and SPF.

After shaving:

Skin tends to feel irritated and dry after shaving, so it is very important to choose the right skincare product to be used afterwards.

EGF Essence is applied after cleansing and shaving for a hydrating, nourishing and calming effect and to perfectly prep the skin for serum and cream application. It can also be used as a standalone product for those who prefer lighter texture products in their skin routine.

Yes. However, if you plan to incorporate other (non-BIOEFFECT) products into your routine, we recommend applying BIOEFFECT skincare first and waiting a few minutes to let the products absorb before applying other products—including makeup. We highly recommend using BIOEFFECT skincare on dry and clean skin before applying anything else, to ensure the maximum efficacy of our products.

BIOEFFECT products do not contain any of the ingredients found on lists of skincare substances recommended to be avoided during pregnancy. In addition, all ingredients of BIOEFFECT products are legally permitted as cosmetic ingredients as per EU Directive 76/768/EEC.

All BIOEFFECT products have an expiration date printed on the bottom of the packaging along with the lot number.

Most of the main components of our primary and our secondary packaging are recyclable. We strive to constantly improve the sustainability of our packaging materials as new solutions emerge.

Yes. According to EU standards, a product can be called “gluten-free” if the gluten content is below 20 parts per million (ppm). At BIOEFFECT, we conducted testing on all our products using the most sensitive method available, the ELISA (enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay) protocol. With these sensitive techniques, the gluten concentration in all BIOEFFECT products measures between 5,000 – 50,000 times below the EU standards for claiming Gluten Free. In fact, our EGF Serum is 13,000 times below this standard. In 2013 the US FDA concurred with these standards.

We do not use certified organic ingredients and therefore cannot claim that our finished skincare products are certified organic.

We are actively working toward certifications that align with our commitment to high-quality ingredients, clean formulations, and ethical practices. These efforts remain an ongoing priority as we grow and strive to meet the expectations of our valued customers. Currently 85% of our products are ready for the certification process and in 2026 we will reach 100%.

In the development and production of our products, we follow the EU Cosmetics Regulation – Regulation EC 1223/2009. This regulation states the following:

The EU is committed to promoting animal welfare while protecting human health and the environment.
Animal testing of finished cosmetic products and cosmetic ingredients has been prohibited in the EU since September 2004 and March 2009 respectively (“testing ban”).

We do not conduct any animal testing on our products and require that our suppliers ensure the ingredients we purchase from them are also not tested on animals.

Most of our products are oil-free, except for Volcanic Exfoliator and EGF Power Cream. The reason most of our products are oil-free is the fact that several ingredients, including some oils and alcohol, can diminish the performance of our Barley EGF and other Barley growth factors. These are unique proteins that require precise formulation of compatible ingredients to ensure maximum efficacy and best results.

Volcanic Exfoliator contains Sunflower oil – rich in linoleic acid, an essential fatty acid shown to help maintain skin’s natural moisture barrier and prevent trans-epidermal water loss (TEWL).

EGF Power Cream contains Shea butter and Evening Primrose oil – moisturizing and nourishing ingredients that are also a source of replenishing fatty acids. Ideal for mature or dry skin in need of extra hydration.

Our products are suitable for all skin types and even for the most sensitive skin. It's always recommended to check the ingredient list on all products if you're concerned about certain components, as formulations vary across different products.

No, BIOEFFECT products are free from parabens, reflecting our dedication to clean, effective, and natural skincare.

Beta-glucan is a naturally occurring polysaccharide (a type of sugar) found in the cell walls of oats, barley, yeast, fungi, and certain bacteria. It is widely known for its skin-soothing, hydrating, and immune-boosting properties in skincare.

Benefits of Beta-Glucan in Skincare:

• Deep Hydration – It has exceptional water-binding capabilities, often touted as being even more moisturizing than hyaluronic acid.
• Soothing & Anti-Inflammatory – Helps calm irritated, sensitive, or compromised skin, making it ideal for conditions like redness, dryness, and eczema.
• Barrier Repair – Strengthens the skin’s natural protective barrier, helping to shield against environmental aggressors.
• Anti-Aging & Firming – Supports collagen production and helps reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
• Antioxidant Properties – Protects the skin from oxidative stress and damage caused by free radicals.

Beta-glucan is commonly used in moisturizers, serums, and soothing treatments, especially for sensitive or post-procedure skin.

Beta-glucan is found in the following BIOEFFECT products: EGF Power Cream and Facial Cleanser.

Glycerin has many complex effects on the skin, both direct and indirect. To name a few, glycerin works as a protective agent against skin irritation, it has an antimicrobial effect on the skin, it can enhance the penetration of other active ingredients into the skin, it aids in the wound healing process and increases hydration/moisturization of the skin. To be able to get the maximal benefit from glycerin, the composition of the formulation of the product is critical. Therefore, BIOEFFECT products have the optimum concentration of water in the formulation for glycerin to have a very effective hydrating function.

NAG (N-Acetyl Glucosamine) is a precursor to Hyaluronic Acid, so it is one of the building blocks of Hyaluronic Acid together with D-Glucuronic Acid—an active naturally found in the skin. Therefore, it supports the skin's natural Hyaluronic Acid production.

NAG also reduces production of melanin in the skin, thereby improving hyperpigmentation and uneven skin tone.

NAG is found in EGF Power Serum.

At BIOEFFECT, we use three different types of Hyaluronic Acid in our formulations to target multiple layers of the skin:

• Super Low Molecular Weight Hyaluronic Acid: 7–10 kDa
• Low Molecular Weight Hyaluronic Acid: 200–400 kDa (0.2–0.4 MDa)
• High Molecular Weight Hyaluronic Acid: 500–1,000 kDa (0.5–1.0 MDa)

Each type penetrates the skin differently, with some providing surface hydration while others help with deeper moisture retention.

The growth factors used in BIOEFFECT products are bioengineered to match the molecular weight of their human counterparts:

• EGF (Epidermal Growth Factor): 6 kDa
• KGF (Keratinocyte Growth Factor): 18.9 kDa
• IL-1α (Interleukin-1 alpha): 18 kDa

These growth factors are produced in barley using our proprietary biotechnology, ensuring purity, stability, and bioactivity.

BIOEFFECT EGF Serum is an oil-free, water-based, anti-aging serum that contains only 7 pure ingredients. The signature ingredient is our BIOEFFECT EGF, that helps boost hydration and support the skin’s natural collagen production, minimizing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. It also features Hyaluronic Acid, Barley Seed Extract, Glycerin, and Icelandic water filtered through lava, so it is pure and extremely soft, free of hard minerals. Suitable for all skin types.

There are no preservatives in EGF Serum.

No. We strive to keep our products as pure as possible, so no fragrances are added to any of our products.

We recommend using it in the morning and evening. It is advisable not to apply makeup or any other products within a few minutes of using BIOEFFECT EGF Serum, as it may interfere with EGF’s efficacy. The serum does not contain any sun protection, so we recommend using sunscreen to protect from harmful UV rays. If you find EGF Serum leaves more of a residue or sticky feeling than you would like during the day, try using less of the product. You could also try our EGF Day Serum which is a lighter formulation with a gel texture.

Our BIOEFFECT EGF works best in a moisture-rich environment. We highly recommend using our cleansing line before applying EGF Serum, as clean skin is most receptive to our serum’s benefits. Once the skin is clean, we recommend the use of EGF Essence before applying BIOEFFECT EGF Serum to maximize the absorption and efficacy of the serum.

Further enhance results by adding a face cream, e.g. Hydrating Cream. To maximize the efficacy of EGF Serum, we recommend using our Imprinting Hydrogel Mask 1-2 per week, after applying EGF Serum. Compliment with the EGF Eye Serum to specifically target the delicate eye contour.

For a concentrated skin boost every now and then, replace EGF Serum with the 30-Day Treatment—our most potent product—1-4 times a year for 30 consecutive days to supercharge your regular skincare.

EGF Serum is incredibly potent and has excellent spreadability, so only a small amount is required for each application. Apply 2-4 drops of EGF Serum to the face, neck, and décolleté. For best results use morning and night. The 15 ml bottle should last 30-40 days, and the 30 ml bottle twice that time.

You do not need to use both EGF Serum and EGF Day Serum—it is a matter of preference which works better for you. The main difference between these two products lies in their formulation, texture and intended use. Both serums contain our BIOEFFECT EGF growth factor, which helps stimulate skin cell regeneration and density.

EGF Serum is an award-winning age-defying formula of only 7 ingredients that prevents and targets visible signs of aging while providing deep hydration.

EGF Day Serum is specifically formulated for daytime use, providing hydration and age-defying effects. This gel-like, easily absorbable serum has a silky finish and serves as an excellent base for makeup and SPF, ensuring your skin is perfectly prepped for the day.

For the best results, we recommend applying our serums twice per day.

There have been no specific trials on sufferers of eczema. However, we understand eczema sufferers' skin can be easily irritated and this may be a concern when choosing skincare products. BIOEFFECT EGF Serum features only 7 pure ingredients, and is free from fragrance, oil, alcohol, paraben, and gluten. It has been shown to improve hydration and soften visibly dry skin.

BIOEFFECT's EGF Power products are specifically formulated for people who are experiencing visible signs of skin aging, such as fine lines, wrinkles, loss of density, and uneven skin tone. These products are particularly suitable for those with mature or dry skin, offering potent age-defying benefits to address these concerns effectively.

The EGF Power Serum is a more potent, advanced formula than the original EGF Serum. It contains a higher concentration of EGF, plus KGF and NAG to help target visible signs of aging and hyperpigmentation. While the EGF Serum is ideal for maintaining youthful skin and preventing early signs of aging, the EGF Power Serum is designed for those experiencing more advanced concerns such as fine lines, wrinkles, uneven skin tone, and loss of firmness—offering a more intensive and comprehensive anti-aging solution.

No. Only EGF Power Serum includes both EGF and KGF, while EGF Power Cream and EGF Power Eye Cream contain EGF.

When deciding between BIOEFFECT's EGF Eye Serum and EGF Power Eye Cream, consider your specific skin concerns and preferences:

Customers with international billing addresses, shipping addresses, and/or phone numbers will not be able to set up an account with Afterpay.

All customers are required to make their first payment at the time of purchase, with the remaining three payments deducted every two weeks from your chosen payment method. If you choose to make additional payments before your scheduled pay dates, you may do so through your Afterpay account.

You can log in to your Afterpay account to view your payment schedule and make a payment before the due date if you choose to do so.

Afterpay will be notified once your refund is processed. Your payment plan will be automatically adjusted to reflect the new total order value starting with the last payment and working backward. Note that the length of payments will never go beyond six weeks after the purchase date. In the case where a refund amount is larger than 25% of the total order, Afterpay will eliminate the fourth instalment payment and charge the remaining amount to your third payment.
