This shows the importance of impulse buying among consumers and among sellers. Cosmetics brands are starting to have their own websites and promote their products online. As this industry is booming, with the rapid changes in technology, it is essential to see the factors that trigger impulse buying tendencies.

Therefore, this paper is discussing the factors effecting impulse buying tendency for organic cosmetics. Factors that are discussed in this paper include website product display, promotional activities, impulsive traits, and consumer mood/feeling while buying.
