Organic beauty and skin care comes in convenient travel size

Posted by Pinky Bean on February 26, 2008 3:21 AM Filed Under: Beauty, Travel

The Green Globetrotter, like many travelers, finds airline restrictions of liquids and gels one big, giant hassle (don't we all?). Fortunately she's discovered some great travel-size toiletry kits contain all of the grooming essentials and will make it past airport security without you having to worry about measuring, sealing, re-sealing, potential confiscation - well you get the idea.

I don't like the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) all that much. It's almost as if they strive to make my life difficult with carry-on regulations like no "liquids or gels" in containers larger than three ounces. (Who decided three ounces was the cut off?) And if you do bring tiny containers of travel essentials (think hairspray, face wash, lotion...) you've got to find a quart-size Ziplock to seal them up in -- and hope that they fit. And then you've gotta pack them so you can easily grab them to put through the X-Ray machine seperately. Honestly, just talking about it all makes me tired and cranky.

And don't even get me started on laptops...

To make life easier on all of us - and keep things au-natural, I've found a few "travel kits" that fit the bill; well, they're all under three ounces and smell good. Take a look. You can purchase them all at drugstore.com/beauty.com; plus, if you're a first time buyer you'll get free shipping on a purchase over $25. (The drugstore thing has never been so convenient.)

Alba's Hawaiian Travel Kit - A simple set that includes the best basics: organic body wash, moisturizer, face wash, and sunscreen. Sweet scents are a trademark with Alba and these ample sizes mean you won't run dry before heading home. ($12) Practicality rating: A

For the bambino, check out Little Twig's Organic Travel Basics Kit ($17) that comes with a fun "scrubby bug bath mitt", baby wash, body milk, powder and diaper cream for sensitive skin. It's adorable and would make a cute gift for a new travel mama.
