BIOEFFECT: Iceland’s Skincare Revolution
While we put so much thought into what we wear and how we accessorize, we often tend to forget about the fact that healthy, glowy skin is our best accessory. That’s why TheRealLuxury has decided to partner with BIOEFFECT, an Icelandic skincare brand dedicated to delivering high-quality, scientifically backed skincare to help you achieve the best skin of your life.
Born in Iceland, Backed by Science
BIOEFFECT is unique—completely Icelandic in both innovation and production. Based in the pristine landscapes of Iceland, the brand takes a science-driven approach to skincare, developing everything in-house. The key to their products is the Epidermal Growth Factor (EGF), a protein that plays a crucial role in maintaining skin’s youthful appearance. BIOEFFECT’s EGF is grown in barley plants, using cutting-edge biotechnology, in a greenhouse powered by Iceland’s geothermal energy.
Why EGF Matters for Your Skin
EGF is naturally found in our skin and is responsible for stimulating the production of collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid—vital for keeping skin firm, smooth, and hydrated. However, as early as our 20s, EGF production begins to decline, which leads to slower cell turnover, less elasticity, and the emergence of wrinkles and fine lines.
BIOEFFECT’s mission is to help restore what’s lost over time by reintroducing EGF to the skin. After years of research, their scientists found a way to produce plant-based EGF from barley, creating a pure, sustainable alternative to the growth factors used in other skincare products, which are often derived from bacteria, yeast, or animal cells.
Whether you’re looking to reduce the appearance of fine lines, boost elasticity, or simply maintain a radiant complexion, BIOEFFECT’s products are formulated to support your skin’s natural renewal process.
Pure, Plant-Based Skincare
What sets BIOEFFECT apart is the purity of their ingredients. Many other EGF products on the market are created using methods that can introduce endotoxins—harmful byproducts that irritate the skin and disrupt its healing processes. BIOEFFECT’s plant-based EGF avoids this, ensuring that their skincare is clean, safe, and effective. Grown in an eco-friendly, sustainable greenhouse in Iceland, their EGF is free from toxins, and their products contain only the necessary ingredients to deliver visible results.
BIOEFFECT’s formulas are also fragrance-free, paraben-free, phthalate-free, and alcohol-free, making them ideal for sensitive skin. And with their minimalist approach to formulation, BIOEFFECT focuses on giving your skin exactly what it needs—nothing more, and certainly nothing less.
Less Is More: Effective, Minimalist Skincare
BIOEFFECT’s approach to skincare is simple yet powerful: use as few ingredients as possible for maximum results. Most of their products are oil-free, with only a couple of exceptions like the Volcanic Exfoliator and EGF Power Cream. Oils and alcohols can interfere with the effectiveness of EGF, so BIOEFFECT carefully chooses ingredients that work in harmony with their plant-based proteins. This ensures that their products deliver real, long-lasting improvements in skin health.
