Abstract

The circulation of toxic cosmetics in transnational marketplaces threatens public health law sovereignty within Gorontalo. This research analyzes supervisory effectiveness based on Law Number 17 of 2023 and formulates enforcement strategies integrating Maqashid asy-Syari'ah. Through empirical socio-legal methods, data collection was executed using cyber document tracking alongside interviews with local administrative authorities, subsequently analyzed deductively. The findings demonstrate that post-market instruments experience structural paralysis due to algorithmic exploitation legitimized by the safe harbor doctrine. This electronic regulatory disparity diametrically defeats the protection of life and universal welfare. As a conclusion, this article recommends an absolute transformation from intermediary immunity toward corporate criminal liability. The state is obligated to overhaul digital architecture by compelling commercial platforms to integrate automated pre-market content filtering mechanisms, which manifest the preventive principle of Sadd adz-Dzari'ah. Such preventive algorithmic standardization constitutes an imperative prerequisite to restoring consumer rights, safeguarding health, and achieving sustainable development targets globally.
