The Master of Arts in Sustainable Leisure Management, in conjunction with our World Leisure Centre of
Excellence congratulates Wei (Olivia) Li, Graduate Student in progress, for the completion of her research and thesis presentation.
Sustainability can be thought of as having three pillars: social, economic, and environmental. Sustainable cosmetics refers to the integration of these three pillars into the whole life cycle of cosmetics, minimizing the impact of cosmetics on the environment and society. The purpose of this study is to explore the factors that affect women’s purchasing behaviors of sustainable cosmetics in their everyday lives.
The researcher interviewed 8 female participants who had joined in the sustainable cosmetic workshops held by Miiko Skin Co. Based on all the results discovered in this study, this study provided several suggestions to key stakeholders for promoting sustainable cosmetic consumption in our society.
