Leading the Way in Skincare

Sif Cosmetics based in Iceland, is an innovative cosmetics company founded in 2009. It is based on biotechnological research that was started by its mother company Orf Genetics in 2001. Sif Cosmetics develops and sells high quality skincare products with a scientific foundation, which are EFFECTIVE, SAFE and PURE.

BIOEFFECT EGF Serum is a groundbreaking innovation for the cosmetic market, as it contains human-like EGF cellular activators made in plants. Extensive scientific research on the role of EGF shows that it stimulates the activation and renewal of skin cells, hence contributing to increased wellness and beauty.

"Sif Cosmetics is the world's first and only company to provide the cosmetic industry with a selection of human-like growth factors produced in plants ... bypassing the use of traditional bacterial or animal cell production systems." Dr. Björn Örvar, founder and CEO of Sif Cosmetics.

The BIOEFFECT EGF Serum leaves you with a healthier and fresher appearance and moisturises, while at the same time inhibiting signs of aging skin.

The EGF cellular activators are developed, produced, and refined in collaboration with ORF Genetics, the mother company of Sif Cosmetics. Built upon Icelandic ingenuity. Orf Genetics has during the last ten years established a unique genetic expression- and production method, in which barley seeds act like mini-factories for the production of human-like EGF cellular activators.

In line with their commitment to environmental and social sustainability, and in keeping with the spirit of their products, Sif Cosmetics and Orf Genetics use clean and sustainable geothermal energy to power their green manufacturing state of the art greenhouse in which the barley is grown.

"At Sif Cosmetics we are responsible people who make use of smart innovations and medical technology in order to improve the quality of life," Björn Örvar, CEO, Sif Cosmetics.
