Fashionably Green
If you're concerned about replacing chemical content with natural wherever possible in your life, you might be interested in a little trip to www.cargocostemics.com to check out what they have to offer.
Launched in 1996 by Hana Zalzal, CARGO is a line of make-up products that invites its users to be "Be-you-tiful". Not everything they do would fit under the green banner of the environmentally-conscious, but their "PlantLove" lipsticks sure do.
Currently sellling for $20.00 CDN, they'll be kind to your wallet. They also offer a little visual treat if you plant the box they come in, since it will grow you some wildflowers. They're contained in tubes made from a compostable corn-based polymer called PLA, a renewable resource that isn't going to end contributing to landfill. Last, but not least, a portion of the proceeds from the PlantLove lipstick sales goes to St. Jude's Children's Research Hospital.
Going green just couldn't be any more fashionable if it tried.
