ABSTRAKKrim pemutih merupakan campuran bahan kimia dan bahan lainnya dengan khasiat bisa menyamarkan noda hitam pada kulit. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui apakah krim pemutih wajah tidak terdaftar mengandung merkuri (Hg) dan mengetahui jumlah kadar merkuri (Hg) pada krim pemutih wajah yang beredar di Pasar Inpres Kota Palu. Sampel krim pemutih wajah yang diteliti sejumlah 10 sampel dengan menggunakan metode purposive sampling. Pengujian kandungan merkuri dilakukan dengan dua tahap yaitu tahap pertama secara kualitatif (uji warna) dan tahap kedua secara kuantitatif Spektrofotometri Serapan Atom beserta alat tambahan MPU (Mercury Vaporizer Unit). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa dari kesepuluh sampel yang diuji semuanya mengandung merkuri (Hg) dengan rata-rata kadar sampel A = 67,27 µg/g, B = 5349,47 µg/g, C = 137,49 µg/g, D = 159,25 µg/g, E = 90,22 µg/g, F = 33,61 µg/g, G = 31,87 µg/g, H = 32,36 µg/g, I = 3,63 µg/g dan J = 3,52 µg/g.

The purpose of this research was to determine whether unregistered facial whitening creams that contain mercury (Hg) and to determine the amount of mercury (Hg) levels of the facial whitening creams have circulated in the Inpres Market Palu. There are 10 samples were examined of facial whitening cream by using Purposive Sampling method. The testing of mercury content is divided into two stages first stage is qualitative testing (color test) and the second stage is quantitative testing atomic absorption Spectrophotometry using additional tools MVU (Mercury Vaporizer Unit). The result of the research show that all of 10 the samples contained mercury (Hg) with an average content of each sample A = 67,27 µg/g , B = 5349,47 µg/g, C = 137,49 µg/g, D = 159,25 µg/g, E = 90,22 µg/g, F = 33,61 µg/g, G = 31,87 µg/g, H = 32,36 µg/g, I = 3,63 µg/g and J = 3,52 µg/g.
