“…Thus, it can be assumed that regular purchasers of these products have a greater store of information about natural cosmetics. For non-buyers of natural cosmetics, low understandability and reliability of information was identified, which is one of the most important purchase barriers according to Dimitrova et al (2009), Wiwatanapusit (2017), Lin et al (2018), Kapoor et al (2019), Firek and Dziadkowiec (2020), Bernard and Parker (2021), Mobile Institute (2021), Sadiq et al (2021), Sharma et al (2021), Šniepienė andJankauskienė (2021), Lavuri (2022).…”

Packaging and its integral elements can be among the carriers of product claims, which often encourage consumers to purchase cosmetics, and many make purchasing decisions based on them. There is, therefore, a tendency to put an increasing number of claims on packaging; these, according to requirements, should be useful, understandable, and reliable. This article aims to determine the importance of information placed on packaging during the purchase of natural cosmetics in comparison with other packaging elements, and to assess the usefulness, understandability, and reliability of selected groups of product claims placed on natural cosmetics packaging. The results confirm that the information placed on the packaging of natural cosmetics is an important element to which consumers pay attention. The most useful, understandable, and reliable claims are performance claims, ingredient-related claims, and environmental claims.
