Skin longevity: why you should be adding EGF+ formulas into your skincare routine
Longevity and biohacking aren’t just trends in wellness anymore – they’ve made their way into skincare. While biohackers look for ways to extend overall health and vitality, skincare longevity focuses on maintaining resilient and healthy skin for the long haul. But what does longevity really mean in skincare? And how do you achieve it? Let’s take a closer look at the cutting-edge growth factors and peptides that make it possible.
What does longevity mean in skincare?
Growth factors, including EGF (Epidermal Growth Factor), are naturally occurring proteins that signal skin cells to regenerate, repair, and renew. As we age, our levels of these proteins decline, which contributes to slower cell turnover, reduced collagen production, and signs of aging, like fine lines, dullness, and loss of elasticity.
Until now, most advanced skincare has relied on a “damage to repair” approach – using ingredients like acids or retinoids to create controlled damage to trigger the skin's repair response.
Modern bioengineered skincare formulas now deliver plant-based and bioidentical growth factors topically, helping to replenish what the skin loses with age. These formulas go beyond temporary hydration – they support the skin’s natural ability to heal and renew itself.
Key ingredients for skin longevity
1. Plant EGF: Revitalises + repairs
A cutting-edge combination of two oligopeptide-1 variants:
- Stimulates cell renewal and repair
- Strengthens the skin barrier, improving resilience against environmental damage
- Reduces fine lines and improves radiance and texture
2. Bio-Placenta: Collagen boosting + hydrating
A plant-based complex of bioidentical growth factors, similar to those found in the human placenta, that:
- Stimulates collagen production for smoother, firmer skin
- Deeply hydrates and improves elasticity
- Supports overall skin regeneration
3. Copper peptide: Firmness + elasticity
This multitasking peptide acts both as a carrier and a signal peptide:
- Enhances collagen and dermal protein production
- Improves skin density, firmness, and elasticity
- Helps repair visible damage and reduce fine lines and deeper creases
- Promotes a clearer, more even skin tone
4. Klotho peptide: The “longevity protein” for skin
Inspired by the Klotho protein, a key regulator of aging, it:
- Slows down cellular aging
- Supports skin regeneration and cellular repair
- Shields against oxidative stress
- Enhances elasticity and prolongs the lifespan of skin cells
5. Orchid stem cells: Enhancing cell communication
A patented extract from Calanthe discolor, a wild orchid, that:
- Stimulates communication between the epidermis and dermis, allowing ingredients to work more effectively
- Boosts collagen synthesis and improves tissue structure
- Strengthens the connection between keratinocytes and fibroblasts—key players in maintaining youthful skin
Why cell communication matters
Even the best ingredients won’t work to their full potential if your skin’s cells aren’t communicating properly. Healthy skin relies on continuous, clear signalling between cells to coordinate repair, collagen production, and defence against stress. Orchid stem cells and growth factors like EGF help optimise this vital cell-to-cell dialogue.
