S. Korean fashion retailer Shinsegae donates crayons made from recycled lipstick

South Korean fashion retailer Shinsegae International Inc. has donated crayons made from recycled lipstick to Seoul-based charity Child Fund Korea.

Old lipsticks totaling 16,940 were used to make the crayons. One crayon can be made from two lipstick tubes.

Seventy-one childcare institutions have received 2,700 sets of crayons, including 1,700 sets of lipstick crayons and 1,000 sets of crayons produced from old, leftover crayons.

Shinsegae Worldwide also gave G Foundation, a non-governmental organization dedicated to international cooperation and development, 10,000 sets of cosmetics valued at 1.2 billion won.

Cleansing foam, lotion, a mask pack, and other items are included in each cosmetics package. They'll be delivered to single moms and single-parent families.
