What Are Growth Factors?
The term “Growth Factor” has become common on skincare product labels, and its meaning isn’t always clear.
Understanding growth factors, why they are important, and key ingredients to look for will help you make the best skincare product choices for your skin.
What are growth factors?
They are a diverse group of proteins that typically act as signaling molecules between the cells.
They stimulate cell reproduction by binding to specific cell membrane receptors and play a major role in growth, wound healing, and other physiological functions.
All plants and animals have growth factors, each having different effects on human tissue.
Epidermal Growth Factor (EGF)
EGF in today’s skincare products are bioidentical and lab created. EGF boosts collagen production that amplifies wound healing and promotes healthy cell turnover by stimulating the skin’s natural repair mechanisms. This helps diminish the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, enlarged pores, and distressed skin.
Fibroblast Growth Factor (FGF)
FGF stimulates collagen and elastin production, which helps keep skin plump and firm. FGF can be or bioengineered in a lab or derived from animal or human stem cells.
Polyamine Growth Factor
This is a naturally occurring organic compound in your body that can improve the efficiency of the body’s own production of growth factors and cells. It can be bioengineered or derived from human mesenchymal stem cells.
Transforming Growth Factor Beta (TGF-β)
TGF-β is a collagen production superstar that regulates cell growth, proliferation, and differentiation. It can be bioengineered, derived from human mesenchymal stem cells, and derived from non-human sources like snails and some plants.
Conditioned Stem Cell Media
A human stem cell extract that contains bioidentical bioactives, including growth factors and peptides, that helps stimulate collagen formation, accelerate wound healing, and improve skin function.
Platelet-Derived Growth Factor (PDGF)
A growth factor derived from human platelets or bioengineered in the lab. PGDF accelerates the healing process, boosts collagen production, and improves overall skin quality.
Human Fibroblast Conditioned Media (HFCM)
HFCM is derived from human fibroblasts, which are cells that produce collagen which supports skin rejuvenation. While HFCM can have anti-aging benefits, it stimulates cell proliferation in a way that people with high risk factors for skin cancer or psoriasis should not use products that contain it.
