Abstract

Keberadaan polimer mikroplastik dalam produk personal care, termasuk pasta gigi, menimbulkan kekhawatiran terhadap dampaknya bagi kesehatan manusia dan lingkungan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengidentifikasi jenis polimer mikroplastik yang terkandung dalam beberapa merek pasta gigi yang beredar luas di Indonesia. Metode penelitian meliputi pemindaian komposisi bahan dengan aplikasi Beat The Microbeads (BTMB) dan analisis laboratorium menggunakan Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa sebagian besar sampel pasta gigi mengandung polimer sintetis seperti Polyethylene Glycol (PEG), Polyvinyl Alcohol (PVA), dan turunan selulosa. Selain itu, terdeteksi pula keberadaan Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) yang tidak umum digunakan dalam formulasi pasta gigi, sehingga mengindikasikan adanya potensi kontaminasi mikroplastik. Beberapa sampel juga mengandung bahan tambahan seperti fluorida dan pewarna azo sintetis yang bermanfaat secara fungsional, namun berpotensi menimbulkan risiko bagi kesehatan maupun lingkungan. Temuan ini menegaskan pentingnya reformulasi produk oleh produsen sesuai regulasi yang berlaku serta peningkatan kesadaran konsumen untuk memilih produk personal care yang ramah lingkungan.
