In the COVID-19 era, green consumption has risen into a global trend, leading beauty products to be more environmentally friendly to satisfy these new consumers’ needs. However, not every natural beauty brand, especially natural cosmetic products, survived in the market. This study aimed to examine the cause and effect of a phenomenon of storytelling marketing strategies on the public's purchase intention for cosmetic products made from natural ingredients. The literature study showed that the relationship between storytelling and purchase intention is somewhat inconsistent.

Data used in this study was primarily obtained through questionnaires in 2021 and judgement sampling of 200 respondents. The data were tested using Structural Equation Model Partial Least Square (SEM-PLS) models’ technique on SmartPLS 3.0. The results showed that storytelling positively increases natural cosmetic purchase intention through product innovation.

The rapid increase in social media users in Indonesia has caused organic black rice (OBR) to be traded online via social commerce (s-commerce). OBR is an environmentally friendly functional food that meets the requirements for sustainable agricultural products. Unfortunately, in Indonesia the demand is still low, so some producers are reluctant to continue the OBR business. Therefore, it is important to study consumer satisfaction. Previous studies have primarily focused on satisfaction with choices and results of the decision process, not satisfaction with the decision process. Satisfaction in the perspective of the decision process has not been widely studied. This paper aims to identify the dominant factors that influence satisfaction with the online OBR purchase decision process via s-commerce. The research design is quantitative with a survey technique of 200 online consumers drawn by stratified random and convenience sampling.
