A Guide to Zero-waste (travel) toiletries
I found swapping some of my toiletries the easiest way to lead a lower waste lifestyle. The following is everything (except for coconut oil and a lip balm) that I take with me when I go on holiday. Everything fits into a clear bag which I can take through security in my carry-on bag. Here is what I take:
- a bamboo toothbrush
- a comb
- solid conditioner
- soap
- toothpaste
- razor
- concealer
- solid shampoo
- mascara and mascara wand
- eyebrow palette
Everything fits into this bag:
I am looking to buy a stainless steel razor, however, you cannot take the blade in your carry-on, it has to be in a checked bag. Since I do not check in a bag, I will continue to use this razor. I am also looking for a zero-waste alternative to the toothpaste but since I have this one, I’m going to use it until it’s finished. In reality, only the toothpaste and mascara needs to be put in a clear bag since the rest of my products are solids.
Hopefully this has inspired you to rethink your toiletries and the amount you take.
I hope you find this useful and happy travels!
