The judgmental sampling technique has been applied in the sampling procedure with 258 usable online responses gathered for data analysis procedure. The SmartPLS technique has been employed to analyze the hypotheses of the study. The results revealed both values significantly influence personal norm. Also, personal norm positively affects GPB. Additionally, the results confirmed personal norm mediates the values and GPB relationship. The results postulate substantial impact on Muslim behavior in buying green cosmetics and assist marketers in specifically targeting to Muslim consumers due to their purchasing power.
