Beauty and skincare products like shampoo, moisturizer, and face wash are essential on every packing list , whether you're heading to a hotel or are staying with friends or family. Since buying miniature versions of your favorite products can be expensive—and typically means purchasing a whole lot of single-use plastics—having practical and reliable toiletry travel bottles you can pull out for every trip is a must.

To make sure the reusable bottles we're throwing in our Dopp kit are easy to use and don't leak, we tested out a variety of affordable travel sets to see which ones actually get the job done. Below, you'll find 13 of the best travel toiletry bottles that will protect the contents of your luggage—and all of the creams, soaps, and serums you've shelled out for—and keep you organized on the go. Even better, all of these picks are TSA-friendly in size, so you don't have to worry about any of your favorite products being thrown out at the airport. As an added bonus, many of these travel bottles are available on Amazon Prime, so you can get your hands on them quickly before a last-minute getaway.

How we tested

I scoured the internet to find the most popular travel toiletry bottles—searching a variety of retailers, reading hundreds of reviews, and considering online ratings. After my initial research, I put many reusable toiletry bottles to the test, trying out dozens of options that range in price, size, and design. I've had some of these toiletry bottles for over a year and they've accompanied me on a mix of weeklong vacations in checked luggage and short weekend trips in tightly-packed duffel bags .

Over the last several months, I tested another batch of options: I've filled them with a variety of skincare, hair care, and body products—thick body wash, contact solution, and leave-in conditioner included. I've even left these filled containers upside down overnight to see if there were any unexpected leaks. My findings: There are many great options on the market to choose from and you don't need to break the bank to find the perfect set for you. Below, the best travel toiletry bottles to pack wherever you're headed next .

plastic travel bottles for toiletries

No matter how organized I try to stay, my bathroom counter at every hotel always becomes cluttered with my many toiletries and hair products . The LiquiSnugs look like your classic silicone travel bottles, but they feature a clever suction cup on the back that allows you to stick them onto any shower wall—freeing up limited counter space. These are great for in-shower products like shampoo, conditioner, and body wash. This set of four bottles features two 3-ounce bottles and two 2-ounce bottles, so you can choose how much product you need depending on the length of your trip. Another smart design feature: Twist the top to adjust the label name so you won't forget what's inside. I've had these for about a year now and I consistently reach for these to pack shampoo and conditioner.

Pros : The unique suction cup design makes them great for shower products.

Cons : These occasionally will fall off shower walls if there's not a little bit of water to keep them in place.

This Amazon bestseller is versatile enough for every type of traveler. The 18-pack from Tocelffe features four silicone bottles of varying size (two 3-ounce bottles and two 2-ounce bottles), four small jars for creams and serums, two spray bottles, two spatulas, a funnel, labels, and a cleaning brush. These all come in a waterproof toiletry bag that you can reuse to carry makeup or tech essentials. In this set, I find myself mostly reaching for the ultra-soft silicone bottles, which are great for products like body wash, face cleanser, and micellar water. Each of these bottles feature three-layer leak-proof tops so you don't have to worry about spills in your bag. Something I love about these bottles is how they can be bent and squeezed easily to get every last bit of product out of them.

Pros: Very affordable, comes in a clear toiletry case, and the bottles' wide opening makes it easy to refill. Cons: The small plastic jars are not as reliable as the silicone bottles in this set.

If you're just looking for a few affordable no-frills travel bottles, these are for you. Available in a variety of colors, the silicone bottles do just what they say they will. They're leakproof, come in a set of four, and are easy to refill and clean. While there’s no bells and whistles, these three-ounce bottles pleasantly surprised me with just how much product they fit compared to some of the other classic silicone bottles we tested, making them an ideal option for a longer vacation. Plus, these have an average of 4.5 stars on Amazon with over 11,000 global reviews.

Pros: Versatility; available in many colorways

Cons : This set doesn't come with labels or a proper toiletry case.

Another solid choice for travelers is this set of four 3-ounce silicone travel bottles. These are squeezable, leakproof, and versatile enough to use for everything from shower products and soaps to sauces and baby food. These reusable bottles are all the same size and each a different color so you can differentiate them. Bonus: This set comes in a transparent toiletry case to keep them all organized in.

Pros : This set is available in a dozen colorways; wide opening makes them easy to refill without needing a funnel. Cons : This set doesn't come with labels.

plastic travel bottles for toiletries

If you prefer to bring along a bar of soap instead of using what's provided at the hotel, this compact soap box is a great travel companion. Inside, there's a soap mat that absorbs any excess water and prevents the soap from becoming mushy. I've used other plastic soap cases before without a mat and it always leaves a mess. This one features a silicone band that wraps tightly around the box for extra protection, and is about the size of a deck of cards.

Pros : Fits most commonly used soap brands, affordable, and features a simple-to-use design.

Cons : The soap box needs the band to stay secure so be careful not to lose it.

plastic travel bottles for toiletries

I've been a fan of Cadence's capsules for a few years now. These leakproof, airtight, and watertight magnetic capsules are unlike any other travel bottles I've used and are a true game changer when it comes to packing your own beauty products. The individual capsules magnetically snap together to take up as little space as possible in your Dopp kit and are designed without any right angles or edges, so you get every last bit of product available.

The original .56-ounce individual capsules are great for weekend trips and storing small items like daily vitamins and safety pins. The Capsule Flex System allows you to customize your own bundle with your choice of small , medium , and large sizes, as well as The Extender —an add-on that allows you to increase the size of the bottle when you need more room. This makes it so easy to customize your travel routine, whether you want to pack extra product for longer trips or bring enough body wash for you and your travel buddy. With The Flex System, you can still choose your own label for each capsule (the labels are interchangeable), as well as the color and number of capsules in your bundle.

Pros : It's easy to get every last drop of product inside each capsule and they are so easy to rinse out and reuse. The custom labels can be swapped out depending on what you're packing.

Cons : These are the most expensive option on our list.

plastic travel bottles for toiletries

I was eager to test out the Ries travel bottles after hearing a lot of buzz about the product and seeing them make their way into retailers like Sephora and Goop. These are a more elevated, aesthetically pleasing take on the classic reusable travel bottles you may have used in the past. Ries prioritized sustainability and design with these essentials: Each bottle is made from recycled plastic and features a large opening at the top, which makes it easy to refill and clean (not to mention, they're dishwasher safe). Travelers can purchases these bottles individually (a 3.4-ounce bottle or a 1.7-ounce bottle) or in a set with both sizes . My favorite thing about these bottles is the airless pump—I feel so glamorous while doing my nighttime skincare routine with these, and it makes it easier to use products like face wash or cleanser on the road. The bottles are pre-labeled (shampoo, conditioner, body, face) and you can twist the top to the side to conceal the opening, so product won't spill out.

Pros : Sustainably made; if you prefer a pump, these are for you.

Cons : On the pricier side; the bottles are a bit bulky and take up a little more room in my makeup bag than most travel-size products I use.

plastic travel bottles for toiletries

Finally, a solution to my contact lens woes. I can't count the number of times I've stopped into a drugstore to buy a mini bottle of contact lens solution before heading out on a trip, or to pick up rewetting drops because I'm dealing with dry contacts while away from home. This compact case makes cleaning and caring for contacts on the go much easier—it comes with an easy-to-fill reusable dropper that gives me a long weekend's worth of solution, a contact case, and has a mirror to help get them in and out. (I don't like to fly in contacts, so this is particularly handy if I forget to switch to my glasses before leaving home.) It weighs next to nothing, and will fit in all but my smallest handbags, so I've been keeping it on me regularly, not just when traveling. — Madison Flager, senior commerce editor

Pros : It comes with a tiny pair of tweezers to make removing contacts from the case less messy. Cons : The contact solution holder isn't large enough for weeklong trips.

plastic travel bottles for toiletries

I admit I've also been guilty of buying mini versions of my favorite contact solution. As much as I love reusable toiletry bottles for my skincare and hair products, I've never had anything that felt right for the consistency of my contact solution. I wear daily lenses, meaning I don't need a whole lot of solution with me when I travel, so it is a little frustrating to carry around a bottle that takes up precious space in my Dopp kit. Lately, I've been carrying about the Cauyuan eye glass case which comes with a super small dropper for contact solution. This refillable dropper holds just enough contact solution for weekend trips and shorter vacations and takes up such little space (I've even found myself tossing it in my handbag in case my eyes get a little dry.) This durable case keeps all of my eye care essentials together and protected, with a separate compartment for eye glasses, and another that holds the dropper, tweezers, a contact case, and a mirror.

Pros : All of my eyewear essentials are now in once place and stay organized; the dropper is small enough to fit in a tiny purse. Cons : The compartment for your eye glasses is on the small size—if you have thick or bulky frames, they might not fit.

plastic travel bottles for toiletries

I've never found a reusable spray bottle for my perfume that I've liked, so I've always relied on buying miniature versions of each of my favorite fragrances. But let's be real—those travel-size perfume bottles are expensive! They're often made of glass, too, making them vulnerable to breaking in your luggage. Enter the Vonovo mini refillable perfume bottles: Each of these holds 0.2 ounces of your favorite scent, more than enough for a long vacation. This set comes with five spray bottles, so you can bring along any of your favorites—or all of them. And they are so easy to use—simply pull off the top of your full-size perfume, press the bottom of the mini bottle on top of it, and keep clicking until its refilled. Each of the bottles have a clear vial inside so you can see how much product you have left. My favorite part: These are so tiny—think the size of a lipstick— meaning I can even bring them with me on a date night when I'm only carrying a small purse .

Pros : Easy to refill and compact enough to fit in even the tiniest of travel bags Cons : These spray bottles wont match the look of your full-size perfume and don't have labels, so you'll have to remember based on the color of the mini bottle you choose. Also, these can be refilled with the same perfume, but I wouldn't recommend reusing them with another scent.

plastic travel bottles for toiletries

For those with a more rigid skincare or haircare routine, this 16-pack lets you bring along every last product you want—and it all fits into one reusable case. The set comes with four silicone bottles, four jars, two spray bottles, two scoopers, a funnel, and a cleaning brush. The variety means you can pack everything from soap and shampoo to serums and sprays in here, and the cleaning brush makes the bottles easy to clean and re-use. I like this set best for packing my more expensive skincare serums and creams in the small jars that have a scooper to use.

Pros : A variety of types of containers

Cons : The toiletry case the bottles come in isn't the best quality.

plastic travel bottles for toiletries

The Kitsch Ultimate travel set includes leakproof holders that are compact and lightweight enough to pack in a purse or tote bag . In addition to three flat pouches, this set also comes with two pump bottles, two mini jars, one mini funnel, one mini spatula, and one mini pipette. This set is best for a longer trip—say, a European vacation or a cross-country road trip —as you can store a lot more shampoo, conditioner, and lotions in the pouches without going over any TSA limits (plus, they'll get lighter as you use them).

Pros : The flat pouches are easy to pack and take up less room in a Dopp kit than bulkier bottles.

Cons : The pouches are a little bit harder to refill than bottles with a wide opening.

plastic travel bottles for toiletries

If you're packing toiletries for your entire family , this 21-pack of travel bottles has you covered. This package comes with four silicone bottles, four cream jars, four toothbrush covers, two spray bottles, two pump bottles, two trowels, a funnel, and labels to keep everything straight. Whether it's a trip to Disney World or multi-generational cruise , this set makes packing for the whole family easy.

Pros : These come with toothbrush covers–a nice travel accessory that none of the other options on our list offers.

Cons : Not ideal for weekend trips or light packers.

Every traveler knows the harrowing moment when you reach into a toiletry bag and feel the leakage from toiletry bottles that failed to do their job. To help you avoid the frustration of cleaning up potentially expensive liquids on your next trip, we lab-tested 14 sets of toiletry bottles to uncover the best, most leak-proof options for hassle-free travel. 

After we filled up each container with shampoo, lotion, and micellar water, we squeezed, shook, tossed, and dropped the bottles to see which ones prevailed, and which (quite literally) cracked under the pressure. At one point, it looked like the Bellagio fountain show in our lab with micellar water shooting every which way out of a tube. While we don’t recommend that particular bottle, we discovered seven other sets that stood up against our rigorous (but very effective) testing methods.

Best Overall

Liquisnugs premium leak-proof silicone travel bottles.

  • Ease of Use 5 /5
  • Quality 5 /5
  • Design 5 /5
  • Performance 5 /5

The durable and flexible silicone bottles prevent leaks even on long flights.

The suction cups often fall off shower walls.

Simple yet very effective, this set of four toiletry bottles comes with two 3-ounce bottles and two 2-ounce bottles. The lids can be unscrewed to easily fill the containers with all types of liquids thanks to the wide-mouth opening that makes cleaning out and drying the bottles a breeze, too. While watery liquids can be risky to pack, these silicone bottles kept oily and runny micellar water perfectly contained, even after we applied intense pressure to the bottles. Plus, the squishy silicone material is ideal for squeezing out every last drop of the product from the dripless valve, which makes them a money-saving travel product .

We tried several silicone bottles over our six-month test to determine which ones were the best. These stood out by being completely leak-proof, pliable yet sturdy, and durable. One of our favorite features is the removable sticker labels that help identify the contents of each bottle with common products like lotion, conditioner, and shampoo pre-printed. If you’ve been searching for no-frills toiletry bottles that get the job done, these are the best ones.

Best Size Range

Morfone 16 pack travel bottles.

  • Ease of Use 4.5 /5
  • Quality 4.5 /5
  • Performance 4.5 /5

The set comes with different-sized silicone tubes, plastic bottles, jars, and accessories.

The lid on one of the small jars broke when we tossed the containers onto the ground.

For short or long trips and everything in between, the Morfone travel bottle set comes with all of the containers you’ll ever need. The 16-piece kit includes silicone bottles, plastic spray bottles, screw-top jars, a funnel, mini spatulas, and a scrub brush for cleaning but, of course, you can easily mix and match the containers to fit your exact needs. Not all of the bottles are the same size with 1- to 3-ounce capacities for storing as much or little product as desired, and all of the bottles have removable lids and wide openings for pouring liquids in or cleaning them out. Plus if you need some help getting liquids into the bottle or extracting the last drops, the mini funnel and spatulas are extremely helpful extras.

When it comes to durability, most of the bottles had no spillage with some rough handling except for one of the plastic jars where the lid did break off. Still, we brought these bottles in carry-on luggage as well as checked bags during our six months of tests and were impressed by their overall quality and the variety in bottle size.

Best lightweight, matador flatpak toiletry bottle.

  • Ease of Use 4 /5

The three containers are made with nylon material that can be hooked to a bag or packed nearly flat.

It’s difficult to get thicker products into the baggies.

Matador’s toiletry bottles are the ultimate space-saving containers thanks to the fabric pouch design that can lie nearly flat after being filled with liquids. Our favorite part of these 3-ounce pouches is the snap hook at the end of the bag to attach to a backpack or bag. We also loved that the hooks double as labels that can be written on with a permanent marker to quickly identify the contents of each bag.

While we had a bit of trouble getting thicker creams into the bottom of the rectangular-shaped pouch, it was effortless to fill the smaller opening with watery liquids like shampoo. After beating up the bags a bit, there weren’t any spills, ruptures, or breakage so we feel confident that these rugged toiletry pouches have a long life ahead.

The Details: 3 pieces | Cordura nylon | Snap loop with labels

Best Budget

Vitog travel bottles kit.

The clear bottles make it easy to see when one needs a refill.

The largest bottle is only 1.3 ounces.

One of the best parts of testing a variety of toiletry bottles is discovering that the least expensive set can still rival a pricier alternative. This 11-piece kit has spray, pump, and screw-top bottles so you can fill each one with various liquids or use the two jars for jewelry and medication. The clear bottles are ideal for being able to see how much product is in each container and when it needs to be refilled. 

We had no issues filling each container with micellar water and shampoo but we had a bit of trouble getting the thicker lotion to filter through the funnel. However, once everything was filled up, these budget-friendly bottles stood up against our drops and tosses without even the tiniest droplet escaping. All of the bottles are 1.3 ounces so we wish there was a bit more variety in the capacities but, considering this set is under $1 per bottle, we’re plenty satisfied with the durable and easy-to-use selection.

The Details: 11 pieces | PET | Removable labels | Bag included

Best Large Capacity

Insfit tsa carry-on approved containers.

Each of the four included bottles can fit 3 ounces of liquids.

During a two-week trip, the provided stick-on labels came off of the bottles.

For longer trips, you may want some toiletry bottles that can hold the maximum capacity to be TSA-approved so we recommend these hefty 3-ounce ones. The four silicone tubes come with handy label stickers and a zippered case that fits all of the containers for excellent organization. With the wide-mouth openings, it was a breeze to fill up each bottle with shampoo, micellar water, and thick lotion. You can even see all the way inside the bottle when the lid is off which makes filling it up and cleaning it out even easier.

We put quite a bit of pressure on these easy-squeeze bottles and we’re happy to report that, even when filled to the brim, the contents remained in the bottles without any spillage. After six months of regularly using these bottles on weekend and long-term trips, we never suffered any spills and found the bottles to hold plenty of product.

The Details: 4 pieces | Silicone | Removable labels | Bag included

Best Color-coded

Mrsdry travel bottles.

  • Ease of Use 3.5 /5
  • Design 4 /5

The bottles are all different colors to keep track of what product is in each tube.

It’s difficult to get all of the product out of the bottle when it’s low and it can be hard to clean the bottles after they've been emptied.

The color palette of this set of four toiletry bottles is one of the prettiest and most helpful of all the toiletry bottles we tried. Each silicone tube is a different shade so it’s easy to designate a specific color to a liquid and tell them apart; and, after six months of use, we loved that we didn't have to worry about missing labels. (There are also additional sets with more colors so you're not limited to just four different hues.) The 3-ounce capacity is ideal for bringing plenty of shampoo, conditioner, or other liquids on both short and long trips, and the squishy silicone material makes it easy to dispense from the no-drip valve.

We did find it a little difficult to squeeze out the remaining product when the bottle was almost empty but that was our only slight issue. However, we’re big fans of the wide-top opening for loading up any product into the tube and cleaning it out after a trip. Best of all, the tubes didn’t leak at all after rough handling, and they’re easy to pack in the included zippered bag.

The Details: 4 pieces | Silicone | No removable labels | Bag included

Best Splurge

Cadence the originals set.

  • Design 4.5 /5
  • Performance 4 /5

The six magnetic capsules make it convenient to change the shape of the set to fit in a variety of toiletry case sizes.

The cap of one capsule cracked after six months of use.

These aesthetically-pleasing magnetic capsules are the most unique set of toiletry bottles we tried. The small capsules each hold 0.56 ounces and the set comes with six hexagon-shaped containers that conveniently stick to one another via magnets on every side. This allows travelers to alter the shape of the set as needed to fit it into a toiletry bag. And, after six months of near-constant use, the magnets and labels are all holding up. The capsules remained completely sealed when we dropped them onto the floor several times and the thick plastic material wasn’t dented or damaged at all. We love that when you order the set of capsules, you can customize the label printed onto each removable tile so they can be switched between the capsules as needed. Our only gripe is that the capsules are very small so you may need to use multiple to bring enough of the same product for a week-long trip, or opt for one of their larger options instead.

The Details: 6 pieces | BPA-free plastic | Comes with custom labels | No bag included

Other Toiletry Bottles We Liked

While the containers below didn’t leak badly, the biggest issue we had with these still-high-scoring toiletry bottles is that their quality felt a bit lower than our top performers. 

Cosywell Travel Containers : These ultra-compact screw-top containers are ideal for thicker products like gel or creams but the micellar water leaked ever so slightly, and we wish the set came with a few other bottle types for variety.

We do some pretty serious testing in our New York City lab when it comes to determining the best of the best travel products and this toiletry bottle test was no exception. For this test, we poured travel essentials like shampoo, micellar water, and lotion into the toiletry bottles, tubes, and capsules to see how easy it was to fill each one up. Then, we squeezed, dropped, tossed, and shook the containers to simulate the rough handling and pressure when you travel by air, car, train, or even on foot with toiletry bottles. Did shampoo explode from one bottle and shoot several feet in the air? Maybe. But don’t worry, we didn’t recommend that one. 

After some rigorous (and occasionally messy) lab testing, we sent each set of toiletry bottles out on real trips with our testers to utilize over a six-month period. Arguably, the most important thing when it comes to toiletry bottles is that they safely contain the potentially pricey skin and hair care products held inside wherever you go, so we closely examined each bottle post-testing for any leaks or damage. Our favorite, winning toiletry bottles are easy to fill up, completely leakproof, and compact enough to pack in toiletry cases. 

Tips for Buying Toiletry Bottles

Prioritize leak-proof containers.

The most important thing to look for in a toiletry bottle is that it performs as expected which means all of the liquid remains sealed in the container. It’s hard to tell whether or not toiletry bottles are leak-proof until you travel with them so it’s important to read reviews and seal the bottles as tightly as you can before you pack them away for a trip. 

Know the types of bottles 

It’s amazing how many types of miniature containers there are for travel these days so it can be helpful to know which type of bottle you need depending on which products you’ll bring. There are silicone squeeze bottles that are ideal for shampoo or conditioner but if you’re packing any type of spray product, you’ll want a hard plastic bottle that comes with a spray cap. For pills, vitamins, or even jewelry, a capsule or container with a screw lid are a great option for storing smaller items. For face wash or lotion, a hard plastic bottle with a lockable pump lid can be helpful.

Consider the capacity 

The TSA restricts carry-on liquids to 3.4-ounce containers so if you’re planning to only carry a bag into the cabin, you need bottles at or below the size limits. Smaller 1- or 2-ounce containers can be easier to pack but that means you’ll have less product to work with so be sure to pack accordingly depending on the length of your trip and the amount of product you think you’ll need.

For carrying liquids onto a plane, the TSA requires all containers to be at or under the 3.4-ounce size limitations. All bottles must fit in a quart-sized bag and, if a bottle is larger than 3.4 ounces, it must be checked before going through security. According to the TSA, gels, creams, pastes, and aerosols, all count as liquids and must be in approved bottles.

In general, silicone toiletry bottles are more durable than hard plastic bottles, as they aren’t prone to cracking or breaking like harder plastic materials. However, when it comes to leaking, both can have the potential to expel liquids so it depends on the quality of each product. 

Cleaning out toiletry bottles can be extremely difficult depending on the style of the container. Bottles with wide mouths can be easily rinsed out and dried but other bottles with smaller necks or no cap can make it difficult to switch products. In some cases, it might be easier just to keep refilling the same bottle with the same thing but some sets will come with brushes or spatulas to clean out all of the product.

Whether you plan to travel on a plane or make a camping trip, you can benefit from bringing travel-size bottles. A leakproof travel bottle set can be a lifesaver, especially for delicate liquids like perfume and hygiene products like soap and shampoos.

Not only can you prevent any leaks in your baggage with the right bottles, but you can also reduce the cost of having to buy travel sizes of these products.

Travel-size versions of perfume and care products often cost significantly more, so it makes perfect sense to decant some of your home stash into a travel-size bottle tailored for your trip. Here we look into some of the best options of travel bottle sets to save you time and money.

Travel Sized Bottles 2

Before deciding on a specific set of travel bottles to bring along on your road trip or camping trip, consider some of the most important factors. First, your travel set needs to come with a reliable leakproof seal to prevent spillage onto your personal belongings.

The compact size is also crucial, as are the types of care products you wish to pour in. Some options are specifically tailored for perfume, while others can be used for liquid soap, shampoo, and beauty products. Here are some of the main aspects to consider when buying a travel-size bottle.

Appropriate Labels

Of course, you can try to add labels yourself, but it’s much more convenient if the bottles come with premade labels when you buy them . This way, you can always be sure that you know exactly which type of liquid is in which bottle to prevent misuse.

Hot Tip: It’s also handy if the bottles come in different sizes so that you have another method of identifying their contents in a hurry.

Anti-Spillage Seal

Travel Sized Bottles Anti spill seal

Without a doubt, the seal is crucial for travel bottles. You don’t want the contained liquid to spill all over your baggage or equipment. It’s best to go with options that come with firm seals that prevent leaks .

Some brands even allow you to get a refund if some of the liquid leaks on your belongings. It’s best to buy trusted travel-size bottles that are previously tested for leaks.

Multiple Bottles in a Set

Having several distinctive types of travel-size bottles is one of the most important aspects to look for when buying a set. Chances are that you need individual bottles for beauty products, shampoo, perfume, soaps, and other liquids.

With different types of bottles coming from a single set, it gets easier to organize your care products and store them in a toiletry bag.

Compact Size

Travel sized bottles Compact Size

For carry-on luggage, travel-size bottles will need to adhere to TSA guidelines. Liquids, gels, and aerosols should be in containers no bigger than 3.4 ounces or 100 milliliters . These containers must also fit inside a quart-size bag.

The Very Best Toiletry Bottles

Portrait of Katherine Gillespie

In this article

  • Best overall
  • Best classic
  • Best flat pack
  • Best silicone
  • Best modular

Surrendering your favorite moisturizer at airport security is no way to begin a vacation. That’s where refillable toiletry bottles come in — not only are they under the TSA-approved 3.5 ounces, they’re leakproof with secure lids you can use over and over again. Of course, not all toiletry bottles are created equal, and if you’ve ever had a shampoo explosion in your carry-on thanks to a flimsy lid, you might be cautious. ( There are always minis , but when you already own full-size versions of your toiletries, that added cost feels redundant.) To find the best toiletry bottles for every kind of traveler, I spoke to frequent fliers and travel experts about the toiletry bottles that won’t lead to travel disasters, then tested out those recommendations for myself alongside my fellow Strategist staffers. While you’re here, we’ve also written guides to the best carry-on luggage and men’s Dopp kits .

What we’re looking for

Number of bottles.

I’ve made a clear note beneath each set of toiletry bottles, as the number of bottles included is different for each product on this list. The higher the number of bottles in a kit means more storage space but also a higher variety of bottle types, too. For example, if you’re someone with a complex skin-care routine , you’ll want a bigger kit with tubs, pump-top bottles, and classic bottles to house all your lotions and sprays. If you’re someone who packs lighter, a smaller kit should be more than enough.

Accessories

They’re designed to keep things clean , but sometimes decanting your products into toiletry bottles can get pretty messy. Luckily, lots of kits come with accessories to make the whole process a little simpler, from funnels for divvying up liquids to spatulas for scooping face cream from one bottle to another (and brushes for keeping your bottles clean). To keep things organized, some kits also come with a transparent bag to keep all of your bottles in one place (and save you from having to squeeze them into a flimsy plastic bag at security).

Maximum capacity

The size of the bottle you’ll want will depend on what you plan to decant into it and how long you’ll be traveling. I’ve included the maximum fluid capacity of each bottle (or of the biggest bottle in each set) so you know how big you can go.

Best toiletry bottles overall

Teapile Travel-Bottle Set

Number of bottles : 17 | Accessories: Funnel, spatula, cleaning brush, plastic bag | Maximum capacity: Three ounces

This comprehensive travel-bottle set includes two 3-ounce silicone bottles, two 2-ounce silicone bottles, two 25-millimeter pump-top bottles, four plastic tubs, two toothbrush covers, a funnel, two spatulas, and a cleaning brush , all inside a transparent plastic case. My fellow Strategist writer Rachael Griffiths has taken it on 11 flights so far with great success. Inside the larger bottles, she’ll squeeze shampoo and conditioner ; cleanser and moisturizer goes inside the smaller bottles. The tubs are for a little smidgen of eye cream , she says, “and I’ll also pour some setting spray into the spray-pump bottles if I’m planning a big night out.” The caps screw on tight and have been consistently leak-free, and she likes how the bottles are made of a clear plastic, so you can easily see how much product you’ve gone through on your trip (and how much you’ve got left to last you). The set also comes recommended by frequent travelers like Simify director Mac Steer and River North Communication CEO Kelly Ferraro, who made the investment after tragically surrendering several luxury face creams to security and hasn’t looked back.

Best (less expensive) toiletry bottles

Kitsch Ultimate Travel 11-Piece Set

Number of bottles: 11 | Accessories: Funnel, stopper, spatula | Maximum capacity: 3.04 ounces

I like the price point of these bottles (the 11-piece kit is regularly on sale for less than $10) and that they’re dishwasher-safe. Brittany Allyn, the blogger behind Thirty Waves who documents her travels on TikTok, was initially drawn to them for aesthetic reasons but has found that they’re also “versatile for all my products: shampoo, conditioner, favorite hair product, serum, spray, and three small containers for my other skin-care products.” The kit comes with a mix of pouches, traditional bottles, and capsule-esque mini-jars as well as a funnel, spatula, and pipette to help you fill them up.

Best classic toiletry bottles

Sea to Summit Traveling Light TPU Clear Zip Pouch With Bottles

Number of bottles: Six | Accessories: Plastic bag | Maximum capacity: Three ounces

I am consistently impressed by Sea to Summit’s travel and outdoor products , which are typically more durable and cleverly designed than those of competing brands. So I wasn’t surprised when Andres Zuleta, the founder of Boutique Japan , recommended them. “I used to use the ones you can get anywhere, at Duane Reade or Target — like, the ones that are colorful and kind of squishy and have a flip-top lid,” Zuleta says. “Honestly, I had problems with those every time. One of them would always leak.” He hasn’t experienced any of that with Sea to Summit bottles. Zuleta describes them as mini Nalgene water bottles because of their tough exterior. “They are airtight,” he adds. “I’ve been using them for two years now and never had an issue.” The pack comes with three three-ounce bottles and three 1.3-ounce bottles, which Zuleta says is plenty. He fills his with hand sanitizer , lotion , jojoba oil, and shower gel and says he always comes home with his bottles at least partially full. He’s a fan of the actual bag it comes with, too. Instead of plastic, it’s made from TPU, a durable, abrasion-resistant material that is a reusable alternative to single-use plastic bags, according to the brand. It’s roomy enough that, in addition to the bottles, Zuleta can fit in some extras, such as his Malin+Goetz deodorant and a travel toothbrush.

Best flat-pack toiletry bottles

Matador FlatPak Toiletry Bottles — Package of 3

Number of bottles: Three | Accessories: None | Maximum capacity: Three ounces

When I asked travel blogger Jessica Ufuoma about good gifts for frequent fliers , she told me about these toiletry bottles from Matador. They’re nylon leakproof packs that can be filled up with all the liquids you’ll need for your trip. Each one holds three ounces, so they’re compliant with TSA requirements. The flat-pack design also makes them more compact than traditional bottles, allowing you to stuff even more into your toiletry bag. In addition to the functionality, Ufuoma likes the look of these pouches. “Their sleek and minimalist designs make for the perfect gift for stylish and savvy travelers,” she says.

Best silicone toiletry bottles

Humangear GoToob+ Large Squeeze Bottle — 3.4 Fluid Ounces — Package of 3

Number of bottles: Three | Accessories: None | Maximum capacity: 3.4 ounces

Even if you’re not flying, reusable toiletry bottles can come in handy. Emily Mandagie, one-half of the couple behind the outdoors-focused website the Mandagies , says she takes these Humangear squeeze bottles on nearly every overnight adventure and recommends them for backpacking and road trips. These silicone bottles come in 3.4-ounce, 2.5-ounce, and 1.7-ounce sizes, and Mandagie loves how versatile they are. “For example, on road trips we will fill them with things like face wash and dish soap, but on backpacking trips we’ll fill them with sunscreen or even condiments for a meal,” she says. They are FDA food safe, she says, so there’s no worries there, and they are also dishwasher safe, making them easy to clean. One trip’s sriracha container can be another’s shampoo bottle.

Best (less expensive) silicone bottles

Tapbull Portable-Bottle Set

Number of bottles: Six | Accessories: None | Maximum capacity: 3.04 ounces

Travel blogger Nina Ragusa (known as Where in the World Is Nina? ) has been all over the world with this more affordable silicone set, which she says outperforms Walmart’s own-brand options and is more space efficient, too. “So many other plastic bottles resulted in an explosion of liquid in my toiletry bag,” she says. “They crack and break.” Typically, a harder plastic toiletry bottle will maintain its shape, making it always the same size. “These bottles, though, smoosh down as you use them, eventually getting almost flat,” saving you space in your bag as your trip progresses. “And they quite simply won’t break.”

Best modular travel containers

Cadence — The Capsule

Number of bottles: Sold individually or in sets of 6 and 12 | Accessories: None | Maximum capacity: 0.56 ounces

Cadence makes stylish, multiuse magnetic containers from ocean-bound plastic. Sold individually, they’re designed to cling to each other, creating what the company calls a “honeycomb.” The lids, each of which gets its own custom label, are also magnetic, which makes them more airtight. I was skeptical about these because of their high price point, but I’m sold after taking them on a couple of international trips last year. First of all, it is way easier to decant product into tubs as opposed to squeezable bottles — no more last-minute messing around with funnels before a flight. The capsules are also incredibly solid in their construction, to the extent that I feel comfortable tossing them into my backpack or suitcase wherever they fit, rather than storing them a separate leakproof toiletry bag that takes up valuable space. Briona Lamback, the founder of Buoyant, adds that they’re small but mighty: “I usually get enough cleanser and moisturizer for a sixish-day trip in each.”

Best (less expensive) modular travel containers

Muji Polyethylene Petite Tube

Number of bottles: Sold individually | Accessories: None | Maximum capacity: 2.2 ounces (large petite tube), 1 ounce (large cream container)

If you want to build your own set of refillable toiletry bottles on a budget and can live without cute colors and magnets, I’m also a fan of Muji’s simple plastic travel containers and have used them on many trips. While I’d probably store them in a waterproof toiletry bag just to be safe, I’ve never had leakage issues with these, and there are a number of size options for different lengths of trips. Just note that they don’t come with any accessories for decanting, which can make transferring any particularly gloopy shampoos and conditioners a bit tricky.

The 9 Best TSA-Approved Containers

Even for the most seasoned pro, traveling can feel stressful; one major stressor involves going through airport security. Not only do you want to keep your items safe and secure, but they need to be accessible for any possible searches and, of course, must comply with the 3-1-1 rule for liquids . That's why having TSA-approved containers, bags, laptop sleeves, and more is so important. The right cases can reduce stress and help you breeze through airport security.

Here are the best TSA-approved containers.

  • What to Look For

Why Trust TripSavvy

Best travel bottles, liquisnugs premium leak-proof silicone travel bottles.

If your at-home shampoo and conditioner bottles are too large to comply with TSA’s 3-1-1 carry-on rule , decant them into these travel bottles instead. The set includes two 3-ounce bottles and two 2-ounce bottles, giving you some size options while staying well under the 3.4-ounce limit. Made from 100 percent BPA-free food-grade silicone, they will store edible items, including baby food, condiments, and non-alcoholic beverages.

Whatever you use them for, these squeezable bottles are designed for convenience with a 1-inch wide mouth for easy filling and a cap that is 100 percent leak-proof. If a bottle leaks or breaks in another way, the company offers full refunds. There are also suction cups on the back of each bottle. No surprise, these also earned the top spot on our list of the best travel toiletry bottles .

Best Toiletry Bag

Cableinthebay tsa-approved clear toiletry bag, 1 quart.

Getting your liquids through airport security will be much easier with this TSA-approved toiletry bag. This clear, quart-sized bag meets all airlines' 3-1-1 rules and regulations so that you won't have issues at domestic or international checkpoints. The 7.7 x 2.2 x 5.5-inch bag is still spacious enough to fit your bottles, cosmetics, containers, and other essential toiletries. And, rather than stuffing your liquids into Ziploc bags, this toiletry bag is durable and is made of waterproof PVC, so your other carry-on items won't get damaged. At under $10, this bag is a total steal, too.

Best Cosmetic Containers

Alink 16 piece travel size toiletry bottles set.

The ALINK Travel Size Toiletry Bottles Set is the perfect purchase for those whose beauty products go beyond a few same-sized bottles. It features 16 bottles and jars of various sizes, all smaller than the 3.4-ounce/100-milliliter limit. These include three flip-cap bottles, one pump bottle, one spray bottle, one squeeze bottle, and six cream jars in varying sizes.

Use the included pipette, funnel, and spatula to transfer products from your at-home containers to your new, travel-sized bottles. All of them feature non-toxic BPA-free plastic and are lightweight and break-resistant. You can wash and re-use them repeatedly and store them together in the included transparent zippered pouch.

Best Backpack

Swissgear 1900 scansmart laptop backpack.

The SwissGear 1900 ScanSmart TSA Laptop Backpack has durable, weather-resistant 1,200-denier ballistic polyester. A key feature is its intelligent design, which allows for rapid, hassle-free movement through airport security . Stash your 17-inch laptop in the heavily padded, separate ScanSmart compartment, which opens up to lie flat on the conveyor belt so that your laptop can stay in your bag through security. The backpack also features a floating pocket for your tablet or iPad, designed to keep it safe while remaining easily accessible. Our tester noted that all the compartments and pockets were easy to access and that the padded straps make this bag comfortable to carry even on hot days. However, our tester did note that the zippers are noisy enough to be a nuisance and the bag tends to be top-heavy when not fully packed.

Also, the backpack includes a large, U-shaped front pocket with slip-in sections for essentials like your passport or boarding pass. The backpack complies with carry-on size restrictions at 18.5 x 13.5 x 9 inches. Choose from various colors, including black, gray, and red.

Best for Beauty

Convenience kits international store convenience kits international women’s premium 21-piece kit.

Have all of your beauty and toiletry necessities ready in this pre-packed travel kit. With 16, 19, and 21-piece options to choose from, the latter comes with everything you need from trusted brands like Garnier, Dove, Nivea, Colgate, and more. Expect travel-sized items like mouthwash, hairbrushes, and deodorant—so you'll never leave a beauty product behind when traveling. The 7.5 x 3.15 x 5.11-inch bag is TSA-compliant and also makes for a great gift. There's also a men's version available here .

Best Handgun Case

Snapsafe treklite gun safe lock box.

Experience stress-free handgun check-in with the SnapSafe Treklike gun safe. It meets the TSA firearm and ammunition requirements, which state that you may check unloaded firearms into your main luggage in a locked, hard-sided container that completely secures the firearm from being accessed. The safe is made from a blend of polycarbonate and steel and has a standard key lock with two keys. There's also a version with a four-digit combination lock.

The exterior boasts a matte gray finish with black accents, while the interior uses protective foam to prevent your firearm from being damaged in transit. Depending on the design of your suitcase, you may be able to use the included 1,500 pound-test steel cable to secure the safe to the inside of your bag. Otherwise, use it to attach the safe to your car trunk or a fixture at home in between travels. Because it uses a mix of polycarbonate and steel, this lock box weighs a mere 1.7 pounds and measures a relatively compact 10 x 7 x 2 inches.

Best Luggage Lock

Travelmore tsa approved combination cable luggage lock.

Although it’s not a container, this TSA-approved luggage lock is an essential accessory for international travel. It features a keyhole opening that can be unlocked by TSA security staff , allowing them to check your luggage without breaking it open and then re-lock it before sending it on its way. You gain access via the 3-digit combination of your choice. The lock features strong zinc alloy with a reinforced, flexible cable that loops through even the smallest zipper pulls. Available in orange or black and protected by a lifetime warranty, each lock measures 3.15 x 1.6 x 1.18 inches and comes in packs of one, two, four, or six. 

Best Travel Kit

W & p carry-on cocktail kit.

Food52 

Unwind during your flight with this fun, carry-on cocktail kit. The 7 x 4.1 x 2.3-inch tin is TSA-compliant and compact enough to store in your purse or pocket. This specific kit has the tools and ingredients to make two margaritas and two Moscow mules during your flight. Although alcohol does not come with the kit (you'll have to purchase that through the in-flight beverage selection), you get a recipe card, a spoon/muddler, a coaster, ginger syrup, margarita syrup, salt, and a jigger. A great gift idea, W&P also has other kit options for making an old fashioned, gin and tonic, bloody mary, and more.

Best Pet Carrier

Sherpa original travel bag pet carrier.

Traveling with your pet in tow? Ensure a hassle-free travel experience with the Sherpa Original Deluxe Pet Carrier. Measuring 18 x 11 x 10.5 inches, this top-rated carrier has approval for use on most airlines. Even more, its spring wireframe can push down on the rear end of the carrier to fit under your seat. It will make your pet feel as comfortable as possible, thanks to its top and side entry with locking zippers, roll-down flaps for privacy, mesh panels for ventilation, faux lambskin liner, and a side pocket for storing treats, toys, and more. In addition, its seatbelt strap ensures your pet's safety. Easily transport your pet via the padded hand carry straps and an adjustable shoulder strap, too. This medium-sized version is perfect for pets up to 16 x 10 inches and 16 pounds.

What to Look for in a TSA-Approved Container

Practicality.

Stuff starts to add up after a while, so although there are plenty of genius innovations that are also TSA-compliant, only pack what you’ll really need. Sure, the set of 16 toiletry bottles looks excellent, but if you just need two, there’s always the temptation to pack more just because you can.  

Everyday Carry

What items will you need to access most while you’re on the go? Plan your container purchases to make sure the items you frequently need to grab are those that are the most accessible. For example, if you plan to shower in a lounge, toiletry bottles will ensure you have your full routine at the ready.

If you’re a frequent traveler, ensuring you can get through the most stressful part of travel as quickly as possible is important. However, if you’re only occasionally hopping on flights, spending a pretty penny on a ton of gear doesn’t make the most sense.

The TSA website at tsa.gov provides the most up-to-date rules about which items and containers are allowed in carry-on and checked luggage. Some items are only allowed in checked luggage, so it is best to prepare before arriving at the airport.

Liquids and gels do not have to be stored individually in a clear bottle or container when using a carry-on. You can put them in any container, but placing all your toiletry items in a clear bag is easiest. This makes it easier for the TSA agents to know what is inside, and it’s easy to remove one bag from your carry-on when going through a security checkpoint. 

No, the battery inside your laptop doesn't need removed to go through security. If you are traveling with any spare lithium or ion batteries, those must go in a carry-on bag.

Plastic-Free Toiletries: The Best Zero-Waste Products [That TSA Won’t Steal]

Look no further for plastic-free toiletries that feel like a treat to use – not an obligation to be more eco-friendly. These are the best of the best reusable, refillable, plastic-free and zero-waste toiletries – after years’ of product testing for my other sustainable product reviews .

What began as an attempt to get through airport security with my toiletry kit intact has evolved (after a three-year process of searching and testing) into a plastic-free toiletry upgrade for my entire home medicine cabinet.

So while this is what I call my “travel” toiletry list (it’ll definitely stop leaks in your luggage and problems with TSA), these plastic-free toiletry brands are what I use at home, too.

[ Related: This guide is also one small part of my strategy on how to pack light – be sure to check out that post before your next trip, too!]

“Zero-waste” feels impossible – and it probably is. But after almost three years of testing and reviewing sustainable toiletries and other products, I’m amazed by how much unnecessary plastic I’ve been able to cut out of my daily toiletry routine. ( Almost all of it. )

There’s no reason to stress ourselves out striving for perfection when we can make a difference starting with just doing better .

Why do i keep writing about going plastic-free .

Mostly: Because plastic recycling doesn’t work . 

Plastic wasn’t designed to be recycled. And you know those little triangular recycling symbols with the numbers? They were actually invented by oil company marketers, not by recyclers. Essentially, they’re just greenwashing to make us believe there’s an environmentally responsible (and economically feasible) way to recycle plastics, when in reality there isn’t. 

Recycling plastic is a band-aid solution at best. The only real solution is to stop depending on recycling by buying less plastic .

That’s why I’ve been relentlessly, maybe even obsessively, testing plastic-free alternatives for everyday toiletries.

(Yes, I actually use everything on this list.)

All the toiletries here are refillable , and/or designed to use minimal and more easily-recyclable packaging (paper, cardboard, aluminum or glass).

These brands meet other sustainability criteria, as well:

Many on this list are carbon-neutral , certified B Corps , members of 1% For The Planet , or all three! (That’s the starting point for me to try them. To get on the list, their products have to also work really well.)

Without further ado, here’s my list of the best sustainable, plastic-free toiletries, which also happen to be travel-friendly. (And I can offer unique discount codes for a lot of these brands! They’re noted throughout the article, or you can jump down to my list of discounts at the end .)

1. Plastic-Free Hand Sanitizer 

Let’s start with an easy one that everyone needs these days: A good , eco-friendly hand sanitizer that doesn’t stink, and doesn’t leave your hands sticky. Plus, my favorite from by Humankind is refillable .

by Humankind is a New York-baed start-up that’s completely carbon-neutral , and makes lots of high-quality, refillable and plastic-free toiletries. I’ve tried almost everything they make, and I think this hand sanitizer is one of their best products.

The small, aluminum bottles come in three-packs with optional plastic pumps – meaning if you already have pumps at home from your last order, you can reuse them.

When you have enough travel-size bottles, just order the larger (8-ounce) refill bottles , which are also packaged in aluminum.

Hand Sanitizer Scents & Formula

I love this formula because I think it feels smooth and silky, not sticky or chemical-y. 

And it contains hyaluronic acid for hydration. So it doesn’t dry out your skin like other hand sanitizers. (It’s also an ingredient in some of my zero-waste skincare favorites, below .)

I really like both the Grapefruit and Eucalyptus scents . They’re pleasant and not too strong.

But if you’re using hand sanitizer constantly throughout the day, the unscented option is ideal. It truly doesn’t smell like anything. No alcohol fumes; no industrial cleanser after-smell. Just clean.

2. The Best Shampoo & Conditioner Bars 

After testing a lot of shampoo bar brands , I’ve settled on a favorite brand that I recommend to everyone –  The Earthling Co ., and a really good alternative –  HiBAR .

I’ve used HiBAR off-and-on, for years. I think it’s a great option if you’re looking for shampoo and conditioner bars with formulas specific to your hair type . (They make five different formulas: Maintain , Volumize , Moisturize , Curl , and Soothe – a formula for sensitive scalps.)

But The Earthling Co. is the only brand I’ve found whose bars might be even better than HiBAR.

I say that because I have several friends who hated other shampoo bar brands (including HiBAR) but loved The Earthling Co . That’s just hard to argue with.

Earthling makes just one formula of moisturizing shampoo and conditioner bars that lather better than any other shampoo bar I’ve tried . (And come in lots of great scent, including fun seasonal scents , or unscented.)

(Personally, I alternate between the Earthling Co. shampoo bar and HiBAR’s Maintain shampoo .)

And Earthling’s conditioner is by far the best conditioner bar I’ve found .

And The Earthling Co. is a carbon-neutral company, a 1% For The Planet member, and ships entirely without plastic.

( Related : For details, read my full review comparing Earthling Co. and HiBAR zero-waste hair care .)

Save 15% on any order from The Earthling Co. with any link in this post. (No code required – the discount will apply automatically after you enter your email at checkout.)

Save 10% on HiBAR when you shop at Earth Hero with the discount code tiltedmap10 . (It works for any other products you order, too!)

Note: Sustainable shopping options & why I recommend EarthHero

There are lots of zero-waste shops online, but Colorado-based  EarthHero  has the best sustainability credentials of any I’ve found: They’re a B-Corp, they’re certified carbon-neutral, and a member of 1% For The Planet. (All excellent certifications that I always look for in sustainable companies.)

(And EarthHero has the best prices on HiBAR, even before the discount code!)

You can also order directly from HiBAR or from Amazon. And as long as you use HiBAR’s official Amazon store , it’ll still be shipped by HiBAR – meaning the packaging is still 100% plastic-free .

Yes, I’m a hard-core evangelist of the shampoo bars above, because they work wonderfully and they don’t require any plastic packaging – just a paperboard board for each bar.

But I get that bars aren’t for everyone. That’s why I tested another very nearly plastic-free option that turned out to be really lovely , and still totally travel-friendly.

Behold: The waterless shampoo , conditioner , and body wash from Everist . These are powerful, concentrated formulas that come in aluminum packing .

Each tube is 100mL, which means they’re perfectly fine to pack in your carry-on. And the beauty of being concentrated formulas is that, despite the small size, they still last at least a month (a claim I tested in my review ).

The aluminum tubes are recyclable – and we’re a lot better at recycling aluminum than we are with plastic . The lids are plastic, which isn’t ideal, but, as I explained in my full review of Everist , at least the company accepts them for mail-in recycling. (They’re saving them up and planning to melt them down to make into hair accessories.)

You can save 10% on any Everist order with the code TILTEDMAP10 – even if it’s not your first order! So be sure to bookmark this, or save the code to reorder if you like the products.

3. All-in-One Hair + Body + Face Bar 

When I travel (or when I’m in a hurry at home), I use the Ultimate Body Bar , from California-based 100 Senses , as the company intended – for everything .

For me, it works wonderfully to replace not only shampoo, but also body wash and even face wash! I have sensitive skin that breaks out if I use the wrong face wash, but this doesn’t give me any problems. It also lathers easily and richly, and works great for shaving my legs.

They bill it as a conditioner-replacement , too – and I do often use it without conditioner. It works well enough, but if your hair really needs moisture, the Ultimate Body Bar alone might not be quite enough. (In that case, I’d recommend pairing it with an Earthling Co. conditioner bar .)  

Ultimate Body Bar Scents

I’ve been through several bars of the Citrus Neroli scent (which is fruity and bold and reminds me of this luxe perfume , which I absolutely love), and several bars of Wild Lavender , which smells luxurious and light. It’s not sweet, and not too herbal either – I’d call it a modern scent. They also offer Green Tea – the most subtle and, in my opinion, gender-neutral scent . I love them all! (And there’s an unscented bar, too.)

You can use this referral link for $15 off a non-subscription order of $50 or more from 100 Senses!

Sustainability Comparison (All the Best Bars)

100 Senses , HiBAR , and Earthling Co. are all cruelty-free (not tested on animals) and ship in minimal, plastic-free packaging.

HiBAR and Earthling are 100% plastic-free (even down to the paper packaging tape they use), and so is the Ultimate Body Bar (although other products by 100 Senses come in plastic bottles).

100 Senses’ and Earthling Co.’s bars are vegan , as are most of HiBAR’s (except for their Maintain bar, which contains a trace of honey).

Tie breaker: Of the three brands, The Earthling Co. is the only one that’s a member of 1% For The Planet , and is certified carbon-neutral .

Most hair ties are made of synthetic, petroleum-based rubber – so every time you lose one, it’s essentially like throwing a piece of plastic out the window.

But these hair ties from Terra Ties are made of organic cotton and natural rubber , which makes them biodegradable.

And they’ve become my favorites, not only because they’re eco-friendly, but also because they don’t cut off the blood flow when I keep them on my wrist!! They’re just a tiiiny bit larger than normal hair ties, and also a little thicker and softer.

So after years of putting my new hair ties around my fattest lotion bottles to stretch them out (am I the only one who does that?), Terra Ties have been a welcome discovery.

As with most products I’ve comparison-shopped, Earth Hero has the best price on Terra Ties , and you can use the discount code TILTEDMAP10 to save another 10% !

5. Plastic-Free Face Wash (Three Ways)

This was the hardest category for me to get started with, because… it’s my face .

I’ve had such trouble with persistent acne (moderate… but still annoying) and dry skin that I was reluctant to mess with my skin care routine. (Even though it wasn’t really working – I just didn’t want to make things worse .)

But again, after a lot of testing, I’ve found several options that work even better than anything I used to use in plastic packaging .

( Related: For more detail, read my full review of six plastic-free face wash brands .)

The “ Lucid Enzyme Cleansing Powder ” from the zero-waste skincare brand Dew Mighty has become not only my favorite way to take a plastic-free face wash on the road, but my absolute favorite face wash of any kind .

The process takes some getting used to – you pour a small amount powder out of the metal tube into your hand, then add a few drops of water to make a clay-based face wash paste.

But the results are amazing. I’ve never found a face wash that gives me an actual glow like this does, and it doesn’t strip or dry out my skin at all.

(Bonus: This cleanser doubles as a face mask. Just make a thicker paste and leave it on for up to 20 minutes. Since it’s full of niacinamide , spirulina and antioxidants, it’s a great zero-waste acne treatment booster.)

I follow the Lucid Cleanser up with Dew Mighty’s solid serum bar (another amazing little discovery –  more about it below ). And my skin looks and feels great with just two products. It’s truly the most travel-friendly skincare I’ve ever found, and ideal for packing light.

( Related: Read more about Dew Mighty here in my review of several plastic-free face wash brands .)

If you want to try Dew Mighty (which is one of my favorite brands on this list of favorite brands), you can save 10% with the code TILTEDMAP .

I know the powder face wash concept can be a little awkward (I prefer to use it at the sink, so I don’t risk getting water in the tube in the shower). So here are a few other great plastic-free options that I alternate between:

Activist Skincare is my new, overall favorite option for all kinds of plastic-free skincare. Like Dew Mighty , Activist is a small, woman-owned brand out of California that does absolutely everything right when it comes to sustainability .

Activist makes three formulas of oil-based face washes in very unique, totally refillable packaging . And their refills use less plastic than just the lid for “zero-waste” products that come in glass bottles!

I really like the Sea to Skin Cleansing Gel and the Botanical Cleansing Oil , which is the easiest to rinse off and the best for acne-prone skin .

To try the entire Activist Skincare line-up, you can  save 50% on their refillable trial/travel kit  with the discount code TILTEDMAP50 .

3. Eco-friendly Face Wash Bars

Even though they’re the easiest, most sustainable option, I was reluctant to try face wash bars. I assumed they would either be heavy, home-made formulas that would leave a residue and clog up my pores, or would dry out my skin, like regular bars of soap.

But I’ve since tried about a dozen different face wash bars from several brands, and luckily, I’ve found some that have proven me wrong. My favorite is from Earth Harbor , and there are more options in my sustainable face wash review .

Earth Harbor Face Wash Bars

Earth Harbor’s Coconut Charcoal Purifying Facial Soap really changed my attitude toward the “need” for a liquid face wash.

I find it more gentle than most of the other bars I’ve tried, but just as cleansing.

Be warned though – despite the name, this face wash bar doesn’t smell like coconut. It has more of a light herbal scent . (It must be called coconut because it’s formulated with coconut oil, like many facial soap bars are.)

(Earth Harbor also makes a balancing facial bar , which is designed to be even more gentle . It would be a good choice for normal or dry skin – especially if you’re not worried about acne or oil-control.)

For travel, there are two reasons this bar is ideal:

First, it’s so long-lasting (I’ve been using mine for months, and see many more months left in it). And second, it stays hard in the shower (instead of going mushy, like many bars).

That all makes it really easy to pack one away in my travel toiletry kit, and just forget about it.

I just wrap all my bars in wash clothes , and tuck them securely into my toiletry kit.

(“All my bars,” means shampoo and conditioner , body wash, face wash and shaving cream – two or three bars per cloth, depending on the size.)

I also travel with at least one light-weight soap dish that drains well . (This is my favorite design because it drains from both sides, which keeps the bars in better shape, and lets them dry so they don’t make a mess in my toiletry bag. Yes, it’s plastic, but that’s okay – because it’s NOT single-use plastic. I’ve had mine for years.)

6. Zero-waste Serums

The niacinamide and zinc serum from The Ordinary was the first thing that actually stopped my acne for the first time since I was a teenager. The serum was a revelation for my skin, but it wasn’t plastic-free or refillable.

But now I’ve found something that’s a game changer in so many ways: Calming Force Clear Skin Serum from Activist Skincare .

Calming Force is a more complete serum – with niacinamide and zinc , plus panthenol , salicylic acid , hyaluronic acid , MSM , and licorice root . These active ingredients all work together to soothe skin, reduce redness, and calm acne.

And, best of all, everything from Activist is refillable !

That’s right: Glass bottles for your first order, then refills in little pouches!

While their refills come in plastic packets, each one uses less plastic than what’s in just the lid of a glass jar or bottle . I can’t overstate how unique this is in the skincare industry. It’s the best option I’ve found for plastic-free skincare packaging. (You can even skip the initial glass bottle and refill one you already have at home.)

You can use the code TILTEDMAP50 for 50% off of Activist Skincare’s refillable 2-week trial kit (which lets you try their entire product line, before committing to full-sized products, and also makes a great travel set).

Activist also donates 5% of revenue to environmental activism. Their shipping is entirely plastic-free and carbon-neutral , and everything they make is 100% vegan .

[ Related: Read more in my review of The Ordinary vs. Activist Skincare , which dives into how to spot genuinely eco-friendly skincare companies.]

Dew Mighty (the same small company that makes my favorite powdered face wash , above) is the only brand I’ve tested so far that matches Activist Skincare ‘s high standards for both sustainability and excellent skincare products.

Their solid serum bar, called “Bloom,” is one of the most effective, efficient, and sustainable skincare products I’ve ever found.

It really changes the texture and luminance of my skin in a way I haven’t seen from any other product.

UPDATE: I’ve found one other solid serum that meets the standard Dew Mighty set for me: SBTRCT , a new company from the UK. Check out my full review here .

The serum bar is full of powerful plant extracts, including vegan squalane , a very stable form of Vitamin C , jojoba oil (but it’s not oily or heavy at all), and licorice . And it’s the only serum I’ve found that actually doubles as a moisturizer , which I’ve been able to skip since I started using Bloom.

I’ve even had problems with Vitamin C serums making me break out in the past ( as I wrote about right here ), and this one has had the exact opposite effect after months of daily use.

And being a solid serum means there’s no water wasting space in a jar – and no need for a jar or bottle of any kind. Bloom comes in a cute little reusable metal box – which is, of course, recyclable, but is designed to be refilled with a new serum bar when you run out.

7. Plastic-Free Face Moisturizer

My go-to here is Mermaid Milk Nutrient Glow Moisturizer from Earth Harbor , a small, independent skincare brand based in Georgia.

The light green Mermaid Milk moisturizer in a glass jar from Earth Harbor, a sustainable skincare brand that plans to launch plastic-free refills in 2022.

Mermaid Milk feels light – it’s not a heavy cream – but contains lots of skin-healthy nutrients like spirulina and matcha , along with hyaluronic acid and antioxidants .

The scent is a little strong, but since it’s a bright, clean, natural scent, I actually enjoy it.

And Earth Harbor is a member of 1% For The Planet, and ships without any plastic packaging or padding. Plus, they tell me they’re planning to start offering refills for their glass packaging in 2022. (I’ll be sure to update this here when that happens!)

Earth Harbor’s refills are here! You can now order larger sizes of some products, and all products are now available without plastic pumps or lids . (So you can keep your pump and transfer it to a new bottle, instead of throwing it away – just like with my refillable hand sanitizer , and the sunscreen below. The Earth Harbor pumps fit both the large and small bottle sizes.)

Unfortunately, they’re still using glass bottles for their refills, so it’s not as ideal as what Activist Skincare and Dew Mighty use, but it’s definitely a step in the right direction!

Earth Harbor is also available from Earth Hero where you can use the code TILTEDMAP10 to save 10% . (I wish they would work on less confusing names!) Or, order straight from Earth Harbor and save 15% with the code MERMAID15 .

8. Daily Mineral Sunscreen  for the Face

Why mineral? Mineral sunscreen formulas are considered “reef-safe” generally meaning they don’t contain oxybenzone or octinoxate, which damage coral reefs. There are other concerns about chemical sunscreens for our own health, too.

So, even if I’m not swimming in the ocean, all water sources are connected, so I’m switching all my sunscreens to mineral formulas containing zinc oxide , instead of chemical sunscreens.

It took a lot of testing, but I’ve finally found a mineral sunscreen with minimal plastic packaging that I can use daily on my face without breaking out (or looking like a ghost).

Eclipse Sheer Mineral Sunscreen , another favorite from Earth Harbor , is my new daily facial sunscreen.

The formula is unscented, and feels almost like a rich cream that goes on very smoothly , without leaving a white cast! For me, Eclipse is moisturizing enough to replace a daytime moisturizer, and makes a nice, smooth base for makeup, with no greasiness .

It comes in a pretty, frosted pink glass bottle with a pump – and again, you can now keep your pump and order a refill bottle with just a metal lid! (Details on that above .) The refills are also available in a larger size – a still-travel-friendly 2 ounces.

However, the only problem is that the tube on the pump isn’t long enough to reach the bottom of the larger bottle. (So I just refilled the smaller one, which made sense to keep the more travel-friendly size, anyway.) It was sort of a slow process since this sunscreen is more of a cream than a liquid, but doable.

9. Reusable Cotton Rounds & Tissues 

Replacing disposable cotton rounds, swabs and tissues with reusable alternatives is an easy sustainable toiletry swap, and LastObject is definitely the place to start. This Danish start-up is the inventor of the ( much-copied ) original reusable Q-tip , along with several other innovative products. (More about the Q-tip in #10.)

The LastObject products I personally find most useful (especially for travel) are the reusable cotton pads , and the washable tissue packs .

(And at home, I really like their LastTissue Box . It’s a refillable Kleenex-style dispenser with washable, organic cotton tissues.)

I use the cotton pads with my Activist toner when I travel with it, and store the dirty ones in a laundry bag in my suitcase. (Of course, you could use them for removing make-up.)

The reusable cotton pads are practically indistinguishable from disposable cotton pads. But they’re much more durable, even though they’re very soft when wet. They’re made from a mix of organic cotton and wood pulp, and designed to be washed up to 250 times . I’ve had mine for years and they’re still going strong – I haven’t noticed any wear.

Use the discount code tiltedmap10off for 10% off any order from LastObject !

( Related: Check out my full review of all LastObject products , which also describes how to tell the originals from the cheap knock-offs. ) 

For Q-tips, I don’t really use my LastSwab anymore (but my husband still loves it for cleaning his ears in the shower).

I used to use the LastSwab Beauty , but after a while, I sort of got sick of it. I found that the silicon tip just wasn’t as effective, or as comfortable on my skin as absorbent cotton for cleaning up make-up smudges.

So now I use these bamboo and cotton swabs from by Humankind .

Bamboo is extremely fast-growing, and requires fewer resources than other crops. The packaging for these swabs is just recyclable paper, so there’s no plastic in either the stem of the swab, or the packaging .

Plastic-free, bamboo cotton swabs in cardboard packaging from by Humankind.

Look, if the reusable LastSwabs work for you, that’s great. I tried, but eventually I had to admit that this was one single-use item I’d be keeping around for now. (But it is a plastic-free single use item! And I manage to make one swab last for several days’ of mascara touch-ups.)

11. Plastic-Free Dental Care

Just like deodorant tubes, toothpaste tubes can’t be recycled , except through this TerraCycle program . But most people don’t know about that (myself included, until last week) and it’s not exactly convenient to mail your recyclables around the country. So most of them go to landfills. 

And those indestructible little floss containers are too small to be sorted by recycling machines, so they can’t be recycled either . (And why build such a solid package anyway, if it’ll only be used for a couple of months??) Plus, normal floss is itself made of plastic!

Luckily I’ve found completely plastic-free options that I actually prefer to the drugstore brands:

After trying several brands, by Humankind makes my favorite refillable, plastic-free floss .

Their floss is smoother than other brands – including others that are waxed. It’s just a matter of preference, but for me by Humankind was the strong favorite.

When you order your floss refills (in peppermint or cardamom – my favorite), they come in simple, compostable and/or recyclable paper packaging .

I also love by Humankind’s sleek and functional refillable floss case (in the picture below).

A Plastic-free Floss that’s Vegan:

by Humankind’s floss does contain silk, so it’s not vegan. So far, Bite’s unflavored floss is my favorite vegan option.

When I say I have sensitive teeth, this is what I mean: I can’t bite into ice cream without tears coming to my eyes. And I’ve had two oral surgeries attempting to fix it. So let’s just say my mouth is a good litmus test for whether something will cause sensitivity.

And most plastic-free toothpaste options don’t contain fluoride, which helps with sensitivity. But I decided to try the original Bite Toothpaste Bits when they added nHap – a fluoride alternative and sensitivity fighter – to their formula . 

And it works! Bite has become one of my favorite plastic-free toiletry finds.  The “bits” foam up just enough, and the flavor is minty, but not overpowering.

Because of the texture and taste, I actually prefer Bite tablets to toothpaste in a tube.

2022 UPDATE: Bite now also offers toothpaste tablets with fluoride . They’re pretty different from Bite’s original formula, so I’ve a section of them to my full review of Bite and other plastic-free toothpastes .

But by now, I’ve been using their nHap tablets for about two years, and can honestly say that my sensitivity has improved a lot in that time. It’s anecdotal, but hey, it’s worked really well for me.

Use the code tiltedmap10 for 10% off at Bite! (Subscribing also saves you another 33%, and the subscriptions are easy to change or cancel, if needed.)

What makes Bite sustainable? 

The entire company is 100% plastic-free . Your first order of toothpaste or mouthwash comes in a refillable glass jar and (deeply discounted) subscription refills arrive in compostable paper packaging . 

Plus, no animal testing, no artificial flavors, sulfates, parabens or other fillers.

Alternatives for Toothpaste & Toothpaste Tablets:

I was so impressed with Bite that I got curious and started trying lots more brands. Bite has remained my overall favorite, but here’s my full review of Bite and other options .

My top alternatives in that review:

  • by Humankind (if you want fluoride in your tablets, these are the best).
  • Crush & Brush Mint Charcoal tablets from Nelson Naturals (if you want really big, fluoride-free tablets that foam up a lot).
  • Nelson Naturals also makes several flavors of toothpaste in a glass jar that I like, as does Georganics . (For details on both, see my other review .)

You can save 10% at Nelson Naturals , too, with the code TILTEDMAP10 .

Bite also makes fresh-tasting mint mouthwash tablets that I think are the best on the market.

You just pop one tablet in your mouth, chew it up (don’t swallow), and take a sip of water to swish. 

I was skeptical before trying them, but they work really well, and are perfect for packing light. (They come in a refillable glass jar to use at home, with a matchbook-sized tin for travel. It’s much more convenient than liquid, since you can carry the tablets around in your bag or even in your pocket with the tiny travel tin.)

And they have all the same good-for-your-teeth ingredients as Bite’s toothpaste . Just like for their toothpaste, refills come in compostable paper packets.

And don’t forget the discount code tiltedmap10 for 10% off at Bite .

Alternatives for Plastic-free Mouthwash:

If you want something very gentle with no stinging , by Humankind’s mouthwash is a good alternative. It comes in a travel-friendly container that stores tablets in the lid and serves as a glass to dissolve them in.

And there are interesting flavors – lemon-mint , peppermint , ginger and cinnamon . I tried peppermint and found the flavor much lighter than Bite’s ( a good kid-friendly option ).

[More details about zero-waste mouthwash options in this review .]

Instead of a disposable plastic toothbrush, you can add a 100% plant-based, bamboo toothbrush to your Bite order.

Bamboo grows quickly without pesticides, artificial fertilizers, or much water. It’s also a powerful carbon sink , absorbing more CO 2 from the air than almost any other plant.

So it’s considered a sustainable material – mostly when used in place of plastics or hardwoods (but not necessarily as a fabric, which requires a lot of chemical processing to create).

Lots of brands make plastic-free lip balms that come in a cardboard tubes – and I’ve tried what feels like all of them.

My favorite so far is the plain, unscented Bare Lip Balm from River Organics , a small, North-Carolina-based beauty company. It’s a husband and wife team behind the brand, and everything they make is organic, vegan and plastic-free (including the minimal and recycled paper shipping materials, as you can see in the photo below).

From the very first swipe, their super moisturizing lip balm was creamier and smoother than just about any other lip balm I’ve used.

River Organics also makes tinted lip balms , lip stains and other make-up with an important difference from other brands: They use lab-made mica , instead of natural mica.

Normally that might sound like a bad thing, but mica mining is  infamous  for exploiting child labor , and mica is  everywhere . We think of it as what gives shimmer to eyeshadow and lip color, but it’s in everything from toothpaste to mascara. (And it can be called “mica,” “potassium aluminum silicate,” or “CI 77019” on ingredient lists.)

Anther thing I love: They sell “imperfect” products at a discount (items with minor packaging defects). Much better than throwing them away!

You can save 15% on any River Organics products with the discount code TILTEDMAP15 .

Earth Hero  and  Package Free Shop  both also carry River Organics, along with other lip balms ( most  of which are also plastic-free and packaged in cardboard tubes). Of course, from Earth Hero , you can use the code tiltedmap10 for 10% off .

Another Alternative:

The Earthling Co. used to make a peppermint lip balm that was almost identical to Burt’s Bees’ classic balm , but with fewer ingredients (nothing but organic beeswax, organic coconut oil and peppermint essential oil).

But it’s currently out of stock, as they’re updating the formula to make it vegan. I’ll let you know here when I try the new formula!

Save 15% at The Earthling Co. with this link.

For a hand and body moisturizer, I use the Castanha Hand Cream , which comes in an aluminum tube, from Natura Brasil . (Aluminum is always better than plastic for  recyclability .)

I love how rich, thick and moisturizing this cream is. And the Castanha scent (Brazil nut, in Portuguese) is really warm and delicious, but not overpowering. (It’s a very gender-neutral scent, too.)

They make several other scents and varieties , including lighter ones, that also come in aluminum. (And a couple of massage oils in aluminum packaging , too.)

Three eco-friendly body moisturizers from the brand Natural Brasil, in brightly colored aluminum tubes.

Only Mostly -Plastic-Free (But it’s progress)

Because of the cap, these creams aren’t 100% plastic-free. And many of Natura’s other products are packaged in plastic, so I skip those. I also wish Natura’s website would let you search for only products in aluminum packaging.

But mostly aluminum with just a bit of plastic is still a step in the right direction, and Natura Brasil still does a lot right as a sustainable company. They’re a B Corp , 100% vegan , and use Fair Trade ingredients responsibly sourced from the Amazon, for example.

14. Plastic-Free Deodorant 

Deodorant packaging often isn’t recyclable in curbside recycling programs, and the fact that it’s always such heavy, solid plastic drives me crazy.

Luckily, there are two ways to do deodorant without single-use plastics: A sturdy, refillable aluminum tube, or a compostable cardboard one.

1. The Best Refillable Deodorant

The best refillable deodorant I’ve found is from Bite . (Yes, the toothpaste tablet company above.)

At $16 for each refill tube, it’s not cheap. But formula lasts a really long time , smells great, and leaves less white residue than any other brand I’ve tried . (Pretty much zero residue. It’s really about as close to perfect as possible.)

How does it work? Your first order comes with an aluminum deodorant tube . (Which is refillable, and easy to eventually recycle if you change your mind.) Then refills come in cardboard tubes (which are home compostable or recyclable with your normal cardboard).

It’s the most sustainable deodorant refill system I’ve found, and it’s the only one that’s truly plastic-free .

Use the discount code  tiltedmap10  for  10% off  Bite’s deodorant , toothpaste and anything else.

My second choice is the refillable deodorant from by Humankind . [See my review of Bite, PAPR and by Humankind deodorants for details.]

2. For long-term travel: Deodorant in cardboard packaging

Overall, Bite makes my favorite plastic-free deodorant. But for long-term travel, I think PAPR deodorant is a great alternative.

When you run out of deodorant on the road, you don’t have to keep carrying around your refillable container. (Although since Bite’s container is just aluminum, it’s easy to recycle in most of the world.)

Just like Bite , this brand is also vegan, cruelty-free, carbon-neutral and aluminum-free.

PAPR deodorant also leaves very little white residue (although it’s not quite as good in this respect as Bite). And like Bite, it comes in natural, fresh scents that I actually like (not just tolerate, like most drugstore deodorants).

15. Reusable, Eco-friendly Period Products 

Admittedly, both of the products sound a little weird and dubious at first, but I give you my word that, at least for me, they work wonders.

Between period underwear and menstrual cups , I no longer buy anything disposable for my period.

Honestly, it took a few periods of practice before I figured out how to position a menstrual cup comfortably. But it was worth it. Menstrual cups are reusable for years , with nothing to throw away or repurchase. And you only have to remove your cup every 12 hours for cleaning. Plus, I’m convinced that my cramps are less intense using a cup than they were with tampons.

The Lena Cup works for me. I’ve had it for five years, and don’t see a need to replace it anytime soon. But if I were shopping for a menstrual cup now , the first brand I’d look at would be Saalt . They’re a B-Corp, a plastic-neutral company, and manufacture their menstrual cups and disks in the US.

Every brand has a different size, shape and firmness .

This quiz is helpful to figure out which brand will fit you best. And Saalt has a quiz to help you figure out whether a cup or disk will be best for you.

Earth Hero also sells Saalt and a few other brands of menstrual cups , and you save 10% with the discount code tiltedmap10 . 

If you want to try Lena Cup , you can use the discount code LENALOVE for $5 off . It works whether you order directly from Lena Cup , or on Amazon . 

I was proud of myself for adapting to a menstrual cup instead of tampons, but honestly, period underwear are a much easier change and have become my go-to period product. 

Now that I use them, I would never go back to pads/tampons/pantyliners .

Thinx is the most famous brand, but by no means the only or most sustainable option. (Among other issues , they don’t ship plastic-free, while other brands do.)

After lots of comparison testing , I think the best brand, which also checks all the sustainability boxes, is Saalt . 

Saalt is a certified B Corp . They donate 2% of their revenue to projects to end period poverty around the world. And they’re certified plastic-neutral . (That means they remove more plastic pollution from the environment than the amount of plastic they use.) 

And their manufacturing ethics are top-notch: Their factory in Sri Lanka employs a 90% female workforce – all earning a living wage . They provide workplace education to seamstresses and school supplies to their children, and even have a platinum LEED certification.

One of the first things you’ll notice when you order from Saalt : Their packaging is entirely, 100% plastic-free – from the outer mailer (made of recycled cardboard and sealed with paper tape, so it’s 100% recyclable), to the inner packaging for each pair of underwear.

(Most brands, including Thinx, use plastic bags for both, but Saalt uses recycled and easily recyclable paperboard.)

My favorite styles from Saalt:

  • The Leak Proof Lace Hipster – a great pantyliner replacement, with extremely soft, comfortable, and beautiful lace. Made from recycled plastic bottles. 
  • And the Leak Proof Comfort Bikini from their new Modal line. It’s pretty much the softest, coziest underwear fabric I’ve ever tried. Made from sustainable beech wood.  

Other brands to try:

  • Knix – I like their comfortable bras, loungewear, and fun prints (including new ones by Betsey Johnson). They also make both regular and period underwear.
  • ModiBodi – an Australian brand that also makes lots of other intimates, including period underwear styles for teens and tweens , plastic-free reusable baby diapers , and men’s underwear styles for bladder incontinence.

You can save 10% on any Knix order with the code TILTEDMAP_10OFF .

Travel Laundry Tips for Period Underwear: Just like at home, when I’m traveling, I rinse my period underwear out in the sink, let them dry overnight if possible, and pack them all in a laundry bag that I can throw in the wash when I get to a machine. (Those bags aren’t as good as these, which are designed to filter microplastics . But they’re easier to pack for travel.)

(And I always wash delicates in laundry bags, as it keeps them in better shape for longer. On the road, they’re great for keeping dirty laundry separate in your suitcase!) 

16. Plastic-Free Shaving (Without Safety Razor  Cuts)

Testing safety razors on my legs was the scariest and bloodiest plastic-free toiletry swap I’ve made . I’m sure they work for some people, but despite what you may have read in reviews saying safety razors are “easy to use,” I swear they’re not for the faint of heart.

But there is a far easier option that I love, and that’s still plastic-free: The original, pivoting-head razor from Leaf Shave Co . After all my testing, it’s the only one I would buy again for shaving legs.

The unique design combines the convenience and lack of cuts of a cartridge-style razor, plus the sustainability of easily recyclable, 100% steel blades.

(For how to recycle razor blades, read this section of my Leaf razor review .)

Close-up of the Leaf Shave pivoting-head safety razor, with the head open to show the words "I am not plastic" written on the blade. ©KettiWilhelm2021

Leaf’s pivoting razor is designed for large areas, like legs, while their Twig Razor is better for face shaving . They also make a moisturizing, plastic-free shaving cream bar that I really like. And of course, it’s totally unisex, just like their razors.

Either razor will undoubtably save you money in the long-run . (Plastic razor cartridges cost several dollars each, while replacement blades for these cost just a few cents .)

Razor Travel Tip:

While technically you can’t pack safety razor blades in your carry-on, I have gotten away with going through airport security numerous times already with my Leaf and blades . ( No questions asked. ) But if you don’t want to take the risk, keep your stash of cartridge razors exclusively for travel.

Gift Idea: Since these razors are kind of a splurge, I think they would make a really thoughtful gift for anyone who’s trying to cut the plastic waste out of their lives. (They’re permanent features on my Sustainable Gift Guide , which I update regularly.)

You can save 10% on any order from Leaf with the discount code KETTI10 !

17. Travel-Friendly Laundry 

Finally, these aren’t exactly travel toiletries , but it’s relevant. If you’re planning to stay in Airbnbs (or similar but more interesting vacation rentals ) or otherwise do your own laundry while traveling, laundry strips from the Canadian start-up TruEarth are a must. (They’re what I use at home, as well as on the road.)

TruEarth is the most eco-friendly laundry detergent I’ve found so far. They ship you enough super-concentrated detergent for 32 loads in a package only slightly thicker than a normal envelope!

At home, I also use this bag, which is designed to filter microplastics that break off when washing synthetic materials, ending up in waterways. (But it’s a little too bulky when you’re traveling light.)

For details on both, check out my post about all the plastic-free laundry and cleaning products I tested!

Use the discount code TEMap10 for 10% off any TruEarth order!

These discount codes are sprinkled throughout this list, but to keep things simple, they’re all right here, too:

Hi Ketti! I just read all of your plastic-free posts and really appreciate the depth of your reviews! I just started trying to go plastic free for toiletries and cleaning, and I wish I had found this before I spent hours comparing brands. I was happy to see I ended up with some of your choices (HiBAR shampoo and conditioner bars; byHumankind deodorant, floss, hand sanitizer, and mouthwash kit) because they’re all in transit, but I feel less nervous now. I got Blueland cleaning products a little while ago and will now be very careful with the bottles! I also fell for some knock off lastswab, lesson learned. I’m excited about some of the other great tips you gave. I had found a couple of other companies that I was wondering if you had not mentioned because of standards or if they might be too new. I got hand and dish soap glass dispensers with aluminum packaged refills from Grove Collaborative, which seem great so far although a little strong in scent. Also a trial pack of cleaning swatches from ec30 haven’t shipped yet, but I’m very curious to try them. Any experience or thoughts? We’re also comparing bamboo toilet paper from reel and seedling. I would love a review of paper products and alternatives! Thanks! Sheree

Thank you so much for getting in touch and for mentioning those other companies! And I’m so glad you enjoyed my reviews – sometimes I do worry that I’m going a little too in-depth and boring people, so it’s great to hear you appreciate them. 🙂

I’ve looked at Grove Collective before, and just never really gotten on board with them because, while they do have some plastic-free options like the ones you ordered, they carry so many brands that are natural or non-toxic, but still packaged in single-use plastic. (Like my old favorite, Mrs. Meyers. Good job sorting through and finding the plastic-free stuff!)

But since you brought them up, I looked through their site more closely and I noticed first that they are a B-Corp, which is a great certification. I talk about lots of other B-Corps on the blog, including Intrepid Travel, Bookshop , and Earth Hero, which are all on my Resources page . And they also say they’re planning to be plastic-free by 2025. So it’s not now , but at least it’s a plan. (And Earth Hero is a similar sustainable products marketplace, like Grove, that I think does pretty much everything right – but they don’t have such a plan, as far as I’m aware! So maybe I was being too hard on Grove.)

I hadn’t heard of EC30! So I was just looking into them this morning. I like the concept, and I might do a review of their Trial Pack, since the products are so similar to so many others I’ve reviewed… But , what I don’t love is that they’re just a branch of Proctor & Gamble. (It doesn’t say so explicitly, but it hints at it on their About page, so I Googled their mailing address, and it’s P&G HQ.)

I’m all for big corporations becoming more sustainable, but this just feels a little inauthentic to me. I’d love to see P&G switch to plastic-free packaging for all of their famous drug store brands, which millions of people already buy, as opposed to trying to get a piece of a new market that’s been created, tested and made possible by small start-ups, which have been plastic-free and focused on sustainability since from the beginning.

That being said, I would love to hear what you think of the EC30 products when they arrive! Seriously, feel free to drop me an email if you want. 🙂

And you’re right, I do need to look into bamboo TP! Maybe that’ll be a future review – thanks for the suggestion!

Best, Ketti

Thanks for all this! Have you used or reviewed Ethique brand products?

You’re welcome, Kristin!

I haven’t reviewed Ethique yet, just because I wanted to focus on more local brands. (I’m currently in the US, along with most of my readers, and Ethique is from New Zealand.) But I am thinking I should try them soon – since they’re so well-known, and because I do think they’re a good company with lots of strong sustainability certifications. If I do, I’ll probably just add them to this post , which has the other shampoo bars I’ve tested.

Thanks for your question and keep in touch! 🙂

Thanks for the reply! I wanted something closer to home (WA state), too, but didn’t find a deodorant bar like theirs. My daughter loves their shampoo and conditioner bars, and I’m a fan of the deodorant bar. I’ll be curious to hear what you think, if you decide to review NZ products. They also have great customer service, in my opinion. I really enjoyed reading your thoughts, and did click on your links for my order. Kristin

Hi again! The Bite site says I need to add an email address with the discount code tiltedmap10.

Do you know if your code still works, or can you send me an email address to add in that box? Thanks! Kristin

Hey Kristin! No problem, it just says that until you type in your own email address… I know, it’s confusing. I have no idea why they put that message there. Let me know if you got it to work!

As for the deodorant – have you tried byHumankind’s refillable one ? That’s the one I recommend above and I really love it. (Although now I’m getting curious about Ethique.)

Anyway, I’m glad you’re enjoying these posts and thank you for using my links! I very much appreciate it!

Hello and Happy Thanksgiving! Thanks again for your reply. Duh– I’ll try my OWN email. Sorry to bother you. And I will try byhumandkind’s DO!

thanks, Kristin

No problem, Kristin! Let me know what you think of everything, and happy Thanksgiving to you as well!

If you haven’t checked out Chagrin Valley Soap and Salve, out of Ohio, you’re missing out. They’ve been producing environmentally-friendly soaps, shampoo and conditioner bars, deodorants, body lotion bars, and many other personal care products for years. They have one of the widest varieties of shampoo bars I’ve seen, as well as soaps. They use organic ingredients whenever they can, and many of their products are vegan.

I don’t work for them; I’m just a happy customer who wants to help spread the word.

Hi Sharon, Thanks for mentioning this! You’re the second reader who’s told me about Chagrin Valley, so I think I’m going to have to try them and add them to my shampoo bar review . Any products in particular you recommend? I’m especially looking to try some good conditioner bars.

Keep in touch! 🙂 Ketti

I don’t have any recent experience with their conditioning bar line.

I love their citrus sugar scrub for my face, their hemp mango mint lotion bar for my hands, and their neem shampoo bar for effective dandruff management that allows my curls to appear healthy. Their baby castile soap line is gentle enough for my skin when it acts up.

Thanks for this amazing blog about plastic-free toiletries also how travel-friendly they are and create Less-Waste. We can totally relate to your blogs. As, even we deal in similar services. We at Friendly Turtle are a UK zero waste shop with all of your everyday essentials for sustainable living. Simple, eco swaps anyone can start making today to reduce your impact on our precious environment. Visit us to know more!

Such a great article…I have a list of “next purchases” while I finish my current supply.

Do you have any experience with lotion bars? A lot of the ones I’ve seen are not vegan (which would be my preference) except for Kate McLeod (I keep staring at the price haha).

These reviews are so helpful. Thank you for testing for the rest of us!!

Thank you so much!! I’m so glad you find the reviews helpful, that makes my day. 🙂

I totally agree on Kate McLeod… I’ve been wanting to try them myself and write about them, but as you said, the price tag is alarming, and I feel like they’re almost too expensive to even review because they’re so out of reach for so many people.

I honestly haven’t really found other lotion bars that have worked for me. I tried Ethique and really didn’t like the consistency (but I actually don’t like most Ethique products… unpopular opinion, I guess, and I do like one of their face wash bars, but everything else I’ve tried I just feel like other brands have done better.)

I also tried Bite’s lotion bar, and while it does work, and feel moisturizing, it’s just kind of a hassle to drag this thing (that feels like a tube of deodorant) ALL over your body, and it’s really hard, so it’s not useful for hand or elbows. And it’s fairly pricey for how quickly I’m going through the tube. So it’s better, but I’m not totally sold yet. Maybe they’ll improve it. (I do LOVE their deodorant , though).

So what I use for body lotion now is the cream in an aluminum tube from Natura Brasil . (Need to add them to this article!) It’s not totally plastic-free (because of the cap) but they’re a good company (B Corp, vegan, fair trade, etc.). I really love the product, and aluminum is always better than plastic for recyclability .

Hope that helps! Keep the questions and comments coming – it’s always so useful to see what readers are using, liking, and having trouble finding! 🙂
