Skin penetration of large biomolecules, anti-ageing formulation

Biography

This group published a 2026 study in the journal Cosmetics describing an EGF-loaded elastosome formulation developed to improve how well epidermal growth factor penetrates the skin.

Their work addresses the central obstacle for growth-factor skincare: EGF is a large protein, and without a delivery system designed around that fact, it largely stays on the surface.
