Behind Osmosis' Science: Growth Factor Technology



Here at Osmosis, we believe in utilizing science in a way that matches our bodies' own natural science. That is where one of our top technologies comes into play, stem cells! We have recently vamped up the formula in one of our most technologically advanced serums, StemFactor, with accelerated results from utilizing proteins like collagen and growth factors derived from stem cells to take skin rejuvenation to the next level.


So, what are growth factors? Growth factors are stem cell-derived proteins that our bodies naturally produce to help regulate cell production and the division, maturation, and growth of the cells. What does that mean for you and your skincare? Well, this process in our bodies inevitably slows down as we age, causing wrinkles, discoloration, and other skin imperfections. In an effort to combat that decrease in production, we are utilizing growth factors in a unique, highly results-driven way! Our newly formulated StemFactor contains over 540 uniquely identified proteins and a higher concentration of growth factors that help kick those fine lines and wrinkles to the curb - with clinical evidence of its efficacy! This new formula contains 350% more protein than the next closest competitor! Talk about packing a punch!


Bonus features! As if this serum could be any more of a skin superhero, this new and improved formula also includes actual human stem cell-derived molecules of collagen, elastin, SOD (superoxide dismutase), fibronectin, and the feature ingredient, tropocollagen. All of these are components that our skin produces naturally, making it easy for the skin to recognize and regenerate these proteins back into the system. The micronized compounds making up this powerful serum do not contain any animal-derived collagen or highly processed ingredients. This is not only much safer for your skin and body, but will deliver significantly faster and more beneficial results on a much broader scale. Plus! All of these improvements have been implemented in addition to the classic exosome delivery strategy we all know and love in our StemFactor Serum. A win-win for us all!


The turbo-charged super serum demonstrates all of these incredible qualities that empower the skin for ultimate radiance and rejuvenation! Find out where to shop the new StemFactor here.

Stem Cell & Growth Factor FAQ

What types of stem cells do you use in StemFactor?

We don’t use the actual stem cells in StemFactor.  We use growth factors.  We source our growth factors from adult stem cells that are derived from fat cells. These fat cells are harvested from the subcutaneous fat of healthy adult donors. Once harvested, the stem cells begin a growth cycle during which they generate growth factors.


Are these donors screened?

We use an FDA approved facility that screens all donors to ensure that our donors are healthy.


Are all human stem cells equal? 

No. The health of the stem cells selected/used determines how well they produce growth factors and there are always significant differences in their size and health.  Osmosis selects the most healthy stem cells from the group and then makes another separates ut the bad ones one more time after they have been growing for a while.

Are human Growth Factors identical or do they vary with the individual? 
Growth Factors are identical. The number and activity level of someone's growth factors may vary from individual to individual. 


Does Osmosis use a selection process in choosing "the best" human stem cells for your Growth Factor? 
Yes, we select the best of the best for Osmosis. We continue to isolate on the most healthy and active growth factors throughout the growing process.


Once Growth Factors are applied to the skin how long do they last?

The growth factors that make it into the skin can last months to years from what I understand. The ones that are stuck outside the skin deteriorate within 24 hours in most cases.

Are stem cells are they comprised of many cells or are they a single cell? 
Stem cells are single cells with all of the components of a normal cell including DNA, RNA, mitochondria, etc. Their ability to transform their properties to mimic certain cells is what is unique about them.   

Are Growth Factors comprised of cells? 
No, growth factors are chains of amino acids, also known as proteins. They are manufactured by the stem cells and fibroblasts. The growth factors activate receptors in the skin that start wound healing and other activities in the skin. They can also trigger the recruitment of other cells and cytokines.
