Rising cost of living in Malaysia has negatively affected the demand for personal care products as consumers prefer to switch to cheaper alternatives. This has resulted in an increase in the number of registered and unregistered personal care products in the market. This situation has an impact on Malaysian consumption as some of the products contain hazardous and poisonous ingredients which may cause adverse effects on personal health. However, customers still consume the products although they are aware and conscious of the danger and the side effects of these products for self-satisfaction. Thus, using the Theory of Planned Behaviour (TPB), this study aims to shed further light on the factors that influence consumer decision making in the purchase of personal care products among Generation Y. The study was conducted using primary approach with the use of validated questionnaire from 390 university students. The findings revealed that subjective norm and perceived behavioural control influence consumer decision making. Findings provide evidence for businesses and policy makers to better understand the factors that influence consumer decision making. Further implications allow authorized body to identify the target group and conduct programs to educate consumers to engage in good judgement before making decisions to ensure healthy consumption choices aligned with the National Strategic Plan on promoting optimal healthy lifestyles.

This study focuses on purchase intention and willingness to pay based on consumer innovativeness, novelty seeking, and trustworthiness. In the study, the authors revealed the above in a holistic framework by emphasizing the direct relationships among the five variables. As this study focuses on consumers seeking novelty for cosmetics and personal care products in a constantly developing and growing sector, the study is different from the others and deemed necessary. This study seeks to examine the effect of consumer innovativeness, novelty seeking, and trustworthiness on purchase intention and willingness to pay for cosmetics and personal care products. It is quantitative research. The sample of the study consists of consumers aged 18 and over. The data of the study were collected from 407 people selected by convenience sampling via an online questionnaire. In the study, hypotheses were developed based on the conceptual framework and were tested via Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). The results of the study showed that consumer innovativeness had a positive effect on both purchase intention (β= 0.154; p <0.05) and willingness to pay (β = 0.317; p <0.05). While it was found that Novelty seeking had a positive effect on purchase intention (β = 0.312; p <0.05), it did not yield a statistically significant effect on willingness to pay (β = 0.018; p> 0.05). The results also indicated that trustworthiness had a positive effect on both purchase intention (β = 0.427; p <0.05) and willingness to pay (β = 0.410; p <0.05). The structural equation model employed in the study explains 55% of the variance in consumers' purchase intention and 39% of the variance in willingness to share, respectively. The research results revealed that consumer innovativeness, novelty seeking, and trustworthiness are among the important determinants of purchase intention for cosmetics and personal care products and that consumer innovativeness and trustworthiness are influential on the formation of willingness to pay for these products.
