BIOEFFECT is sustainable, uniquely pure and grown in inert volcanic pumice, using geothermal energy and pure Icelandic water enriched with nutrients. BIOEFFECT was founded by three Icelandic scientists when they developed a method to bioengineer plant-based growth factors using techniques of plant biotechnology. One of these growth factors is EGF (Epidermal Growth Factor), BIOEFFECT's signature skincare ingredient.
