JAKARTA - The Indonesian skincare world was again shocked by the firm steps taken by the Food and Drug Supervisory Agency (BPOM). Figures that often expose the content of skincare products, Doktif, now have to accept the fact that the four products affiliated with them have their distribution permits revoked.
This announcement is part of the release of a list of 21 cosmetic products whose permits were canceled by BPOM. In an upload on BPOM's official Instagram account, photos of Doktif's products are given a large red stamp that reads "REVOCATED EDAR PERMIT".
The four products are AAC Face Tonic AHA, AAC Day Cream with Brightener, AAC SB Oily, and Amiraderm Glowing Night Cream Series. This revocation is based on crucial findings related to composition.
According to BPOM, the main reason for the revocation is the discrepancy in the level of raw materials for production with the data listed in the notification.
The head of BPOM RI, Prof Taruna Ikrar, explained the potential risks of discrepancies in the content of these materials.
"The risks that can arise in the form of allergic reactions for users that are sensitive to materials are not included in the marking, given the absence of information on the content of these materials," he said, quoted on Saturday, August 9.
Not only the risk of allergies, non-compliance with the content also makes product benefits invalid and can mislead consumers.
"In addition, compositional discrepancies can lead to product benefits not in accordance with product usefulness claims stated in packaging," added BPOM.
This BPOM move is in the spotlight because Doktif is known as one of the celebrities who actively voice and educate the public about the content of skincare products.
Meanwhile, Doktif himself said that he did not question the revocation of the permits for his four beauty products.
"It's okay, I've never sold dangerous product baskets," said Doktif.
This violation clearly violates the provisions of BPOM Regulation Number 21 of 2022. BPOM also emphasized that this action is purely to protect public health and does not side with anyone.
"BPOM sided with the public health interests," the institution said, asking producers to be honest and responsible to consumers.
