The Way

The cosmetics and toiletry industry has growing up very fast. In 2016, the total global revenue cosmetics industry amounted to USD$444 billion. According to Lee, Goh, & Noor ( 2019), the skincare products dominated the cosmetics and toiletry market with a market value of approximately USD$ 120 billion. Between 2012 and 2019, the global skincare market expanded by 41.8 percent, and by 2025, it is expected to be worth $189 billion (Ledesma, 2020). The skin is the largest organ in the body, hence, many people will find ways to protect it, one of the way people are using to protect the skin is to apply any supplement on skin to keep the good condition of the skin. However, according to Cunningham (2014), the used of chemical items in the cosmetic skin care industry is extremely unregulated. For example, Parabens that cause breast cancer are found in cosmetics. The chemical used in the skin care products had rise the attention of the users to start to pay attention on the ingredient of the skin care products. One of the way people are using in order to avoid the harmful chemical in skin care products is to to choose skin care with natural ingredient (Espitia, 2020), this happend especially among the younger consumers (Boon et al., 2020; Hsu et al.,2017). The green skincare industry is growing rapidly. Green skin care, according to previous studies (Fauzi & Hashim, 2015; Hsu et al., 2017), is any skin care products which can preserve or enhance the natural environment by conserving energy or resources and decreasing or eliminating the usage of harmful agents, pollution, and waste. Studies showed there is an increasing in the consumption of green skincare products and toiletries by 45%, from a peak of RM 1.6 billion (in 1998) to RM 2.2 billion (in 2010), with sales estimated to exceed $1.1 billion in 2010 among young people (Boon et al., 2020).

Transgene Flow

Abstract Soybean has been recognized as a useful platform for heterologous protein production. This study compared the pollen characteristics of transgenic and non-transgenic soybean and investigated the rate of gene flow from transgenic soybean events, developed to obtain recombinant proteins (such as human epidermal growth factor, insulin-like growth factor 1, or thioredoxin) for use in the skin care industry, to non-transgenic soybean under field conditions, and determined the distance at which gene flow could occur. The lack of significant differences in pollen grain size, viability and pollen germination rates between transgenic and non-transgenic cultivars indicates that the overexpression of transgenes did not alter pollen characteristics in soybean. The highest rates of gene flow from the three transgenic soybean events to non-transgenic soybean ranged from 0.22 to 0.46% at the closest distance (0.5 m). Gene flow was observed up to 13.1 m from the transgenic plots. Our data fell within the ranges reported in the literature and indicate that an isolation distance greater than at least 13 m from transgenic soybean is required to prevent within-crop gene flow in soybean. As the potential markets for transgenic crops as a recombinant protein factory increase, gene flow from transgenic to non-transgenic conventional crops will become a key decision factor for policy makers during the approval process of transgenic crops. Our study may provide useful baseline data for the prevention of transgenic soybean seed contamination caused by transgene flow.

Brand Satisfaction

In the highly competitive marketplace, marketers for the skin care product are facing challenges with identifying the consumer’s brand perception and brand satisfaction. Brand satisfaction is perceived as an important issue on skin care industry. Obviously, customers are the important stakeholders in organizations and their satisfaction is a priority to the company. This study aims to investigate the relationship between brand perceptions and brand satisfaction on skin care products with four independent variables (quality, promotion, image and preference). This study employed the statistic software of SPSS version 19.0 to evaluate 200 sets of questionnaires which collected from students, undergraduates, working adults and other respondents. The findings in this study shows that the brand perceptions on quality, image and preference have positive and significant relationship with brand satisfaction on skin care products. However, the relationship between brand perception on promotion and brand satisfaction is being rejected. Thus, the marketers can focus on perception on quality, image and preference to increase customers’ brand satisfaction to capture and retain them.

The Relationship

Climate change is a troubling issue in the world and one of the main causes is plastic production, while the personal care industry is one of the industries that contributes the largest plastic waste and businesses in Indonesia have not contributed to reducing waste. According to a study, many small businesses face several challenges in implementing environmental values including unawareness of the potential presented by applicable green practices, a lack of understanding of the necessity to address their environmental consequences, and the lack of understanding how to integrate green practices into basic business planning, in other words they don’t little exposure to green practice information and they don’t know how to communicate & implement the environmental values, thus small businesses need to understand how to communicate their business through green brand and to communicate their brand business need to know what drives the customer to buy green brand. While "green purchase intentions” is the likelihood of consumers purchasing specific products or brands owing to environmental concerns, thus to support waste reduction from the personal care industry and increase implementation of environmental value, the researcher analysed what factors could influence green purchase intentions to understand the market needs and drivers to purchase green brands. Using the PLS SEM, this study investigates the relationship of green brand affect on green purchase intentions, as well as the mediation effects of green brand attitude and green brand associations in the skin care business. Refers to prior study to define ‘green brand affect’ as “consumers’ positive emotional response towards a brand in consequence of the brand’s environmental performance” because in the process of customer buying decision-making, brand affect is a critical aspect. The study's research focus is on Indonesian consumers aged 14 to 39 who have purchased green skin care brands in Indonesia. A total of 218 respondents were chosen. In addition, to verify the research framework, this study was done by utilizing a questionnaire survey. The findings show that the impact of a green brand can have a direct impact on green buying intentions. Furthermore, this research shows that green brand associations have no influence on green purchasing intention means this variable fails to mediating green brand affect toward green purchase intention and that green brand attitude mediates the relationship between green brand affect and green buy intents to partially. While businesses tend to enhance their customers' green purchase intentions, they must also increase their green brand impact and green brand attitude. Hopefully this research could help small businesses to understand how to communicate and implement environmental value through the understanding of the relationship between green brand affect, green brand attitude, and green brand association toward green purchase intention.
