At 1stopfiller, transparency and efficacy are central to our values. We are pleased to announce the launch of our new CE-marked collection, which sets a new standard for what consumers can expect from skincare products.
Understanding CE Marking
CE marking represents more than a label; it is a recognized symbol of safety, performance, and compliance with the rigorous standards established by the European Union (EU). When a product bears the CE mark, it signifies that the manufacturer has ensured the product meets essential health and safety requirements through comprehensive assessments. This mark is particularly significant for products that occupy the intersection between cosmetics and medical devices.
Skincare as a Regulated Science
Historically, many skincare products have been regulated under cosmetic guidelines, which are generally less stringent than those for medical devices. With advancements in scientific research and the development of more targeted formulations, the distinction between cosmetics and medical devices has become less clear. CE marking is important in this context, as it indicates that a product has been evaluated not only for its cosmetic benefits but also for its intended medical purpose and performance. This distinction is especially relevant for products designed to address specific concerns such as acne, hyperpigmentation, or signs of aging, where both efficacy and safety are essential.
The Medical Device Distinction
Advanced skincare products often interact with the skin in ways that extend beyond basic cosmetic effects. These products may be formulated to stimulate collagen production, reduce inflammation, or deliver active ingredients to deeper layers of the skin. When a product is CE-marked, it has been classified and assessed according to the EU Medical Device Regulation (MDR) or the In Vitro Diagnostic Regulation (IVDR), depending on its intended use. This process includes a thorough evaluation of clinical efficacy, risk management, and manufacturing quality. For consumers, this provides a higher level of assurance regarding both the safety and effectiveness of the product.
Assurance of Quality and Efficacy
Selecting CE-marked skincare products means choosing items that have undergone rigorous scrutiny beyond standard cosmetic offerings. The CE mark confirms that product claims are supported by scientific evidence and that manufacturing processes meet the highest standards. In a market with numerous options, the CE mark serves as a reliable indicator of trustworthy and scientifically validated skincare solutions.
We invite you to explore our new collection and discover the benefits of regulated, science-backed skincare.
