I don’t know what it is about everything travel-sized that makes my heart start beating faster. Maybe it’s because I tend to carry around a small purse, or maybe it’s the simple fact that smaller = cuter? Either way, these travel-ready beauty products are safe to toss in your carry-on no matter where you’re going. Whether a quick weekend getaway at your friend’s beach house, or the long-planned family vac-ay, these tiny, valuable companions will make you feel as though you’ve brought the luxury of being home with you ♥ And so, these are my top natural / organic beauty picks in travel size:

rms Beauty Signature Palette | Pop Collection

I don’t think we wear the “all natural” look so religiously than we do during the holiday season – but sometimes, a pop of color here or a little bronzer there might just come in handy. Insert (pun intended): the POP Signature Palette by rms Beauty. It contains 4 of the brand’s best sellers: the Buriti Bronzer, Magic Luminizer, Demure Lip2Cheek, Beloved Lip2Cheek and the Simply Vanilla Lip & Skin Balm. So basically everything you need to glam up night&day.

Fresh Therapies Natural Nail Polish Remover Wipes

Didn’t have time for a mani or pedi before heading to the airport? These wipes will surely come to your rescue! One sachet easily removes polish from 10 fingers, leaving them nourished & healthy-looking. The non-toxic formula smells of fresh limes – which should get you into vacation mode asap!

Prtty Peaushun Skin Tight Body Lotion – Travel Size

At only 3 oz., this shiny tube is more than enough to get your legs vacation ready – plus it’s small enough to follow most airport regulations. Another bonus is that the tube easily folds down as you use it. That way, if you still have a tiny bit left at the end of your trip, it’ll only take up the tiniest amount of space in your bag. Win-Win!

Dr. Alkaitis Soothing Gel – Travel Size

An Amazingy Office Fave! “Vacation” means sunshine, relaxation & fun, right? Well, sometimes it also includes a sunburn, inflamed skin or a nasty bug bite – which often lead to irritated and/or stressed skin. And that’s when the Soothing Gel will come to your rescue: its anti-inflammatory formula – with soothing chamomile and lavender – can calm the skin tremendously. It has been a staple in the office for years now.

Rahua Jet Setter Travel Kit – Hair + Body

This Rahua travel set contains 4 travel sizes of their 100% natural products: Shampoo & Conditioner, Shower Gel and Body Lotion. The pleasant scent of lavender, eucalyptus and palo santo transforms any bathroom into a spa, treating your body luxuriously with patawa oil and Omega-9 fatty acids. With this set, Rahua not only makes your hair healthier & stronger, but also nourishes your body and invigorates your senses.

Soapwalla Tasting Menu

Have you ever smelled the Soapwalla Almond Luxe Body Polish? It has the most amazing, warm scent of vanilla & almond – like you’ve just entered a bakery. It comes with five other great products, and in a beautifully illustrated bag. Bringing this with you ensures that your skin will have a great, natural & vegan vacation. From deodorant cream to facial serum, Soapwalla will treat you well!

Alga Maris Sun Screen Stick SPF 50

No matter where you’re headed, your skin needs protection from UV rays. Alga Maris designed this super handy sunscreen stick with SPF 50+ – it fits into practically any bag and is highly water-resistant. Perfect for your next on-the-go trip!
