    Glossary Epidermal Growth Factor

    stimulates cell growth and healing in skin and hair

    Epidermal Growth Factor (EGF) is a protein that stimulates cell growth, proliferation, and differentiation by binding to its receptor, EGFR. It plays a crucial role in the healing of wounds and the regeneration of skin and hair follicles. EGF is often used in skincare products to promote skin repair and reduce signs of aging.
