Main Article Content
Abstract
Whitening cream is a mixture of chemicals or other ingredients with the property of being able to whiten the skin or lighten black spots on the skin. Facial whitening creams contain harmful compounds such as mercury and hydroquinone. Mercury is a dangerous heavy metal that is toxic and carcinogenic to the body, while hydroquinone is a chemical compound that is included in hard drugs and used by doctors as a drug to treat hyperpigmentation. The purpose of this study was to determine the presence or absence of mercury and hydroquinone in the samples and to determine the levels of mercury and hydroquinone in face whitening creams circulating in Aceh Market. The stages of this research consisted of testing the mercury content using KI 0.5 N, determining the levels using an Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer, testing the hydroquinone content using 1% FeCl reagent and determining the hydroquinone content using a UV-Vis spectrophotometer. The results of the research showed that of the 8 samples studied there were 4 samples containing mercury, namely with levels in sample code B (5.729,20 mg/kg), C (5.692 mg/kg), D (2.905 mg/kg), E (104,83 mg/kg) and the 8 samples studied there were 6 samples containing hydroquinone, namely the levels in sample B (6,239 ppm), C (6,890 ppm), D (6,478 ppm); E (10,637 ppm), G (7,722 ppm), H (3,638 ppm).
