However, the production and use of cooking oil also has a significant impact on the environment. This study aims to find out how consumer behavior towards the intention to buy environmentally friendly palm cooking oil. The analysis method used is Partial Least Square – Structural Equation Modelling (PLS-SEM) using the SmartPLS version 4 application and sampling technique by means of judgement sampling or purposive sampling consisting of 100 respondents. The results of this study show that Environmental Awareness is the most significant influence on the purchase intention of housewives in environmentally friendly palm cooking oil products. Furthermore, it was followed by Perception Behavior Control and Subjective Norms which had a positive and significant effect on the Purchase Intention of environmentally friendly palm cooking oil.
