Purchase Intention of Halal Lip Cosmetics on Shopee among Youth Generation: An Investigation using Theory of Planned Behavior

Abstract

Abstract. As the world's largest Muslim-majority country, Indonesia presents its Islamic Economic Landscape in the 2019-2024 Sharia Economic Masterplan, which features halal cosmetics as one of the six highlighted clusters. The leading research shows that Muslim women have expressed concerns regarding cosmetic product compliance with halal standards. This study aims to explore the specific purchase intentions of Indonesian Muslim young women regarding halal lip cosmetics, focusing on their preferences and behavioral intentions on a popular e-commerce platform (Shopee). This research object is Generation Z and Y Muslim women in Indonesia, totaling 210 respondents. This research employs a quantitative data analysis approach using the Smart-PLS 3.2.9 Variance-Based Structural Equation Model. All hypotheses significantly and positively affect the purchase intention of halal lip cosmetics on shopee. The findings indicate that the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) variables (Attitude- SubjectiveNorm- Perceived Behavioral Control) can still be applied to examine the behavioral intentions of young Indonesian Muslim women regarding the purchase of halal lip cosmetics. In addition, the extended variables of TPB (E-WOM and Brand Image) emerged as positive predictors of behavioral intention, indicating that further investigation of other variables as potential extensions of TPB is needed.
