In recent years, conscious consumers have become an important segment of the market. In the cosmetics industry, green products are also at the forefront. The refillable packaging is a significant step in this direction. The aim of this study is to identify the drivers and barriers that affect the intention to purchase cosmetics with refillable packaging. In‐depth interviews were conducted with 20 Generation Z women. Content analysis was used to identify themes, categories and subcategories in the transcripts. According to the results, the categories that drive consumers to purchase cosmetic products with refillable packaging include peer influence, marketing communication, social media, perceived benefits, brand reputation, environmental consciousness and knowledge, anticipated positive emotions, product availability and variety. The barriers identified include lack of awareness and knowledge, high prices, influencer effect, low perceived consumer effectiveness, consumers' concerns about greenwashing, product quality and status concerns, health concerns and operational barriers. These results provide a comprehensive understanding of consumers' intentions to purchase refillable packaging.
