The Organic Skin Co. Task Force Nine and Lip Service Review

Back in September I reviewed some great products from New Zealand skincare brand The Organic Skin Co., and today I have more from their wonderful line to share!

*Disclaimer: These products were sent to See, Shop, Love! in exchange for an honest review.


The Organic Skin Co. creates skincare and cosmetics that are PETA-certified cruelty free, vegan, and certified organic by NZ Bio Grow. You can read my previous review and learn more about the company here.

I received the Task Force Nine Calendula and Turmeric Cream and Lip Service Lipstick to try and both gave great results!



The Task Force Nine Calendula and Turmeric Cream is made with nine ingredients, including organic calendula and turmeric supercritical extracts to moisturize. The ingredients also have antiseptic and antibacterial products to provide extra nourishment to skin. It's made with 78.4 percent organic ingredients.

I absolutely love this cream! It's so soothing and made my skin feel so soft. The texture is silky-smooth and it absorbed into my skin without leaving any feeling of residue. Calendula is an antiseptic that works well to treat inflammation and extra-dry skin and eczema, making this perfect for the cold winter air. Turmeric is also great as an anti-inflammatory and is a strong antioxidant.


I'm also in love with the Lip Service Lipstick! I tried the shade Galaxy and it's the perfect red for me. I think this would be flattering on all skin tones and undertones, and it's especially great for a darker, date night look. The formula is smooth and was easy to apply -- not too smooth, but not too waxy, either. I've tried other lipsticks where they were difficult to apply with precision because they either slid around my lips too freely or didn't move enough, but this one gave off just enough color to make it easy to apply.


I really do love this color, despite how miserable I look in the above photo. I'm awkward with selfies. But regardless, you can see that it has great color payoff and is great for day or night looks. I wore this to a Friendsgiving party and was surprised at how long it lasted on my lips before needing to reapply. It lasted through a few drinks before I needed to add more.
Bottom Line: The Task Force Nine and Lip Service are two more great products from The Organic Skin Co.! If you are looking for a line of vegan, cruelty-free, and organic skincare and makeup, look no further than this great and affordable brand!

The Organic Skin Co. Review

The Organic Skin Co. is from New Zealand that has just launched in the U.S.! They create color cosmetics and skincare with eco-responsible, organic ingredients.

*Disclaimer: These products were sent to See, Shop, Love! in exchange for an honest review.


The Organic Skin Co. products are vegan, cruelty-free certified by PETA, and certified organic by NZ Bio Gro. They have everything from customizable palettes with cheek, lip, and eye colors, lipsticks, face cleansers, and more!


I tried the Nitty Gritty Almond Seed Exfoliant and Cheeky Lips. Every time you buy a product from The Organic Skin Co., they plant a tree to help combat deforestation. So not only are you treating yourself to a great product, you'll also help give back to a great cause.


The Nitty Gritty Almond Seed Exfoliant is made with 87.6 percent organic and 100 percent natural ingredients, including organic almond seed granules and licorice supercritical extracts. It gently sloughs off dead skin cells and removes excess oils and dirt.

The exfoliating granules are very fine and gentle enough for sensitive skin. I used this twice a week for the past month and I really loved how soft and smooth it left my skin feeling! It cleansed and exfoliated without leaving my skin feeling dry or roughed up.


The Cheeky Lips color is a blush and lip color that is available in seven shades. I tried the "First Blush" shade, which is a light pink that I think would look great on all skin tones.

Cheeky Lips is made with 74 percent organic ingredients. It's designed to provide a long-lasting, natural flush that can be used on the cheeks or lips. It has a silky-smooth texture that glides on easily. I wore this on my lips (see photos below) and it felt light and moisturizing with great pigmentation.


Here's a wrist swatch of the Cheeky Lips in First Blush.


I love how natural the color looks on my lips. Usually I wouldn't choose a pink shade, I gravitate more towards reds/corals, but this one is lovely and great for daily wear.
Bottom Line: The Organic Skin Co. has a huge line of beauty products and I'm sure they'll have something to suit your skincare and cosmetics needs! I loved both products that I tried and I look forward to purchasing more. I love that they use organic ingredients and also give back through their tree planting initiative. This is a great company to support!
