Consumer Protection In Buying And Selling Cosmetic on Marketplace (Analysis of Fulfillment of Security and Liability Rights in Buying and Selling Cosmetic Containing Harmful Ingredients)

Abstract

September 2023, BPOM RI evaluated several cosmetic products that were widely circulated making false claims, especially in the marketplace. Sunscreen is one of several cosmetic series that is useful for warding off free radicals from the sun. BPOM gave a warning to reformulate its products. This indicates that there are still many cosmetic products that do not meet the distribution permit or contain harmful ingredients and they have been circulating in the community. The absence of consumer protection has put the position of consumers, especially cosmetic consumers, at the lowest level in dealing with business actors. Consumer Protection is an effort that ensures there is legal certainty to protect consumers and the community. The problem in this study is the fulfillment of consumer rights to the safety of cosmetic products containing harmful ingredients sold through the marketplace and the responsibility of business actors for the sale of cosmetic products. The research method is normative legal research in the form of a literature study which is carried out by tracing secondary data. The results of the research from the first problem are from several cases that the fulfillment of consumers' rights to the safety of cosmetic products containing dangerous ingredients sold through the marketplace is not being fulfilled. and second problem formulation is the responsibility of business actors for selling cosmetic products containing dangerous ingredients sold through the market can be subject to both administrative and criminal sanctions if they are proven to have violated selling cosmetic products containing dangerous ingredients sold in the marketplace.
