Our Story

IN THE BEGINNING

BIOEFFECT was founded by three Icelandic scientists when they discovered, after over a decade of research, a way to produce plant-based EGF (Epidermal Growth Factor) in barley plants. EGF is one of the most important proteins in skin and plays a vital role in the production of collagen and elastin that maintain skin’s healthy, smooth, and youthful appearance.
