may have set the standard for recyclable packaging, but
Cargo just kicked it up a notch with its Plant Love Botanical lipstick. The lipstick tubes are made out of corn (produced in great abundance due to heavy government subsidies that it is described as
"the welfare queen of crops" by a farmer in Michael Pollan's
Omnivore's Dilemma) and the outer carton will yield a bouquet of flowers when planted in soil as it is embedded with real flower seeds! Many of the colours are supposedly developed with celebrities, which I'm sceptical about since celebrities do very little even when they headline fragrances, but the line-up does include two of the coolest TV actresses ever, Mariksa Hargitay and Sarah Chalke.
Cargo cosmetics are available for purchase at
Sephora in the U.S.,
Rescu Beauty Bar and selected David Jones stores in Australia.
