Retinoic Acid
Retinoids are widely used in different cosmetic products because of general improvement of skin appearance. However, retinoid concentration in cosmetics is restricted, and one particular form–retinoic acid, is banned in cosmetics due to safety reasons. Retinoic acid, in combination with sunlight, may increase skin cancer risk.
In cosmetics, retinoic acid is used as skin conditioners and anti-acne agents in a variety of moisturizers, lotions, and anti-aging creams.
In Indonesia, according to Peraturan Kepala Badan POM RI No. 2 2014, retinoic acid is included in the list of hazardous substances prohibited for use in the manufacture of cosmetics
