In this episode, we are getting into all things cosmetic peptides and growth factors (and their impact on skin). We will also quickly review the essential structure of our skin, from the surface epidermis to the underlying dermis and sublayers/cellular components of each. This knowledge will set the stage for our discussion on the pivotal roles of EGF and FGF in anti-aging. Also, stay tuned for Part 2, where we'll delve deeper into these topics.

Topics:

1. Introduction

- Brief review of the anatomy of the skin

- Overview of the topics to be discussed (cosmetic peptides and growth factors)

2. Epidermis

- Overview of the epidermis

- Sublayers of the epidermis

- Stratum Corneum

- Stratum Lucidum

- Stratum Granulosum

- Stratum Spinosum

- Stratum Basale

- Functions and characteristics of each sublayer

- Keratinocyte differentiation and lipids production

- Role of melanocytes and Merkel cells

3. Dermis

- Overview of the dermis

- Sublayers of the dermis

- Papillary Dermis

- Reticular Dermis

- Composition and functions of each sublayer

- Role of collagen, elastin, fibroblasts, sebaceous glands, sweat glands, hair follicles, and mast cells

4. Cosmetic Peptides and Growth Factors

- Introduction to EGF (Epidermal Growth Factor)

- Mechanism of action

- Effects on keratinocytes and epidermis

- Indirect effects on collagen and elastin production

- Application in skincare

- Introduction to FGF (Fibroblast Growth Factor)

- Mechanism of action

- Effects on fibroblasts and dermis

- Enhancement of skin firmness and elasticity

- Upcoming topics in Part 2

- Other growth factors

- Additional cosmetic topical peptides

- Tips and tricks for skincare formulations
