Objectives: The aim of this research was to examine the attitudes and habits of using cosmetic products in the general population. Materials and methods: Respondents from Croatia participated in the research. Attitudes and habits of using cosmetic products were investigated using a survey questionnaire created online in Google forms. The questionnaire was conducted via social networks, which is why respondents who do not have profiles on social networks were not included. Results: A total of 812 respondents participated in this cross-sectional survey. The largest number of respondents, 502 of them, were between 19 and 29 years old, followed by the age group of 30 to 39 years, in which there were 198 respondents. Only 13 male respondents took part in the research, which is 1.6% of all respondents. Exactly half of the respondents were from only two counties, 26.3% from the City of Zagreb and 23.7% from Split-Dalmatia County. The largest share of respondents had monthly incomes above 1,000 euros and had completed a university degree. The respondents mostly buy moisturizing products 536 (66.2%), affordable drugstore brands and buy them in physical branches. When choosing a product, only 5 respondents stated that the fact that the product is an environmentally friendly and sustainable option influences the use of the product. Additional research has shown that the largest portion of respondents is informed about cosmetic news via social networks. Conclusion: A great ecological unawareness of the respondents was observed. Because of the above, it is necessary to spread awareness about the potential problems with this type of waste, but also to invest in an ecological approach to cleaning up the waste of the cosmetic industry itself.
