Abstract

Adolescents are increasingly exposed to cosmetic products and marketing claims, yet their awareness of cosmetic safety remains limited. Interactive educational approaches that combine theoretical knowledge with practical experience are still rarely implemented. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of an interactive educational intervention in improving adolescents’ knowledge of cosmetic safety and the appropriate use of skincare ingredients. A quasi-experimental study with a one-group pretest–posttest design was conducted on December 3, 2025, involving n = 61 high school students. The intervention integrated BPOM-based education with a hands-on workshop on peel-off mask formulation. Knowledge was assessed using a 10-item questionnaire, which was pilot-tested for clarity and relevance. Data were analyzed using a paired t-test (p < 0.05). The mean knowledge score increased from 72.71±16.72 to 84.67±10.45, with a statistically significant difference (p = 0.002) and a large effect size (Cohen’s d = 1.36). The distribution of scores shifted toward higher categories, indicating improved understanding. Participants also reported high levels of satisfaction with the program. The intervention effectively improved adolescents’ knowledge of cosmetic safety. The novelty lies in integrating regulatory education with hands-on formulation activities as an interactive learning model. However, the absence of a control group and the single-setting design limit generalizability.

Abstract

Contaminated hands are a major route for the transmission of microorganisms and contribute to the spread of infectious diseases, particularly in school environments where close interpersonal contact facilitates transmission. Although awareness of hand hygiene is generally adequate, adolescents' consistent handwashing practices remain suboptimal. Because adolescence is a critical period for establishing lifelong health behaviors, school-based interventions provide an important opportunity to improve hand hygiene knowledge, awareness, and behavioral intention, thereby promoting sustained healthy practices and reducing the risk of communicable diseases. This program aimed to improve students’ knowledge of hand hygiene and to provide practical skills through a soap-making workshop at SMA Ricci 1 in Jakarta. The methods included health education via interactive lectures, pre- and post-tests, and a hands-on workshop, with 141 and 71 students attending the educational session and the workshop, respectively. The results showed an increase in the mean knowledge score from 75.25 to 85.60, with 55.32% to 88.65% of students in the “good” knowledge category. Additionally, over 90% of the participants gave high ratings for the workshop’s clarity, usefulness, and relevance. The program effectively improved students’ knowledge and awareness of hand hygiene while providing practical experience to support healthy hygiene behavior.
