[Brno, Czech Republic] — A major milestone for Czech innovation in skincare: the newly launched Growth Factor Serum Intense from LOBEY features FGF2-STAB®, a cutting-edge ingredient developed by biotechnology company Enantis. This marks one of the first uses of advanced protein engineering from academic research in a mainstream dermocosmetic product — and the results speak for themselves.
Now available through LOBEY’s official e-shop, the serum offers a highly effective anti-ageing solution by combining natural actives with stabilized fibroblast growth factor FGF2, a powerful molecule long studied for its role in tissue regeneration and skin rejuvenation.
The Science Behind the Skincare
The standout ingredient — FGF2-STAB® — is a proprietary innovation from Enantis, a Czech biotech company born out of Masaryk University. Through advanced protein stabilization techniques, Enantis created a version of fibroblast growth factor that is significantly more stable, durable, and effective than its native form — unlocking new possibilities in cell-based research, regenerative medicine, and now: dermocosmetics.
“Seeing our technology make its way into real-world skincare products is exciting. It’s a testament to the power of applied science and the growing potential of biotechnology in consumer markets,” says Marek Atanasčev, CEO of Enantis.
A Step Forward for Smart Cosmetics
Incorporating FGF2-STAB® into its Growth Factor Serum Intense, LOBEY has taken a bold step toward bridging the worlds of clean skincare and modern biotechnology. While LOBEY is known for its natural, gentle formulas, the addition of a scientifically validated, biotech-derived growth factor adds a new layer of performance — particularly in supporting collagen production, elasticity, and visible wrinkle reduction.
“This isn’t about trends — it’s about function,” says Dr. Jan Herudek, Head of Applied Research at Enantis. “Wild type FGF2 is a well- known bioactive compound in regenerative dermatology. In FGF2-STAB® form, it finally becomes feasible for sustainable and long-lasting cosmetic use.”
Local Science with Global Impact
The inclusion of FGF2-STAB® in a popular, publicly available product signals a larger trend: scientifically rigorous ingredients moving beyond the lab and into the everyday routines of consumers. This Czech-made growth factor, used by scientists worldwide in cell culture and regenerative research, is now powering skincare — and setting a new benchmark for biotech in cosmetics.
For consumers, it’s a sign that skincare is evolving. For Enantis, it’s another step toward making applied protein science a valuable part of people’s daily lives.
