My Mostly Liquid-free & TSA Approved Toiletry Kit: A Global Traveler's Must-Haves

Writer: NinaNina

Updated: May 2, 2024

Navigating through airport security can often feel like a game of chance, especially when it comes to your beloved toiletries. The dread of having your favorite serum confiscated or discovering a shampoo explosion in your bag upon landing is all too familiar to any seasoned traveler. That's precisely why, after years of trial, error, and many a globetrotting adventure, I've transitioned to a mostly liquid-less toiletry kit.


This transformation has been nothing short of a game-changer, making my travel experience smoother and ensuring that my essentials make it through security hassle-free, without the risk of any messy surprises.


I have finally compiled my carefully curated, liquid-less companions that have journeyed with me across continents. Each product not only meets TSA standards with ease but also embodies the essence of convenient, eco-conscious travel.


Here’s my mostly Liquid-Free and TSA approved toiletries that travel the world with me:

BITE Toothpaste Bits - The Future of Oral Care

Imagine a world where your toothpaste takes up virtually no space in your bag and leaves zero waste behind. Welcome to the world of BITE Toothpaste Bits. Pop one in your mouth, chew, then brush with a wet toothbrush. It's dental hygiene, revolutionized for the traveler.



Never fear the sun's rays again with the AHC Natural Perfection Double Shield Sun Stick. This non-sticky, sebum-care sun protector offers a fresh sensation and a light finish, ensuring your face and body are shielded from harmful UV rays. Its compact design means protection is always within reach, no matter where your travels take you.






Drunk Elephant Baby Bar Soap Travel Duo - Cleanse and Moisturize on the Go

The Drunk Elephant's Baby Juju and Baby Pekee Bar soaps are my go to facial cleansing soaps. This duo caters to your cleansing and moisturizing needs, letting your skin breathe and retain moisture, sans the harsh chemicals. The mini versions are also conveniently packaged in a travel-friendly case, perfect for all the travels, wherever in the world they may lead.




I’ve been a huge fan of solid shampoo bars for years. Once you find the one that works for your hair type, these are fantastic for travel — just make sure to try them out before you pack them up. The Briogeo shampoo brand has always been my go-to brand for use at home. My hair loves their haircare. So when they came out with the Be Gentle, Be Kind shampoo in bar form, I was sold! For those with sensitivities, the Briogeo Be Gentle Be Kind Shampoo Bar is a godsend. This all-over cleansing bar caters to a variety of hair types and sensitivities, offering a gentle yet effective cleanse. Its eco-friendly, zero-waste approach makes it a must-have for conscious adventurers.




Ethique Aqua Haircare Storage Tray - Extend Your Bar's Lifespan

To keep my face cleansing and shampoo bars dry in between uses, I swear by the Ethique's Aqua Haircare Storage Tray. Its self-drying design ensures my bars remain dry and effective for longer, reducing waste and maximizing usage. A stylish, practical lightweight solution that takes up almost no space in my kit.




Everist Shampoo & Conditioner Concentrates - Potent, Plant-Based Care

I’ve also recently discovered the Everist Shampoo & Conditioner concentrates, and I’m obsessed. Their plant-based formula boasts natural bond repair technology and ingredients like aloe vera and glycerin to hydrate and soothe. They come in a tube or a tin and you only need a tiny bit to leather up your entire head of hair. If this brand has not made it across your beauty must-have list yet - go give them a try. If you don’t want to commit to the full size version (which is 100ml - so even the full size is TSA friendly) they have mini travel ones which are perfect travel companions.




I love no fuss moisturizers that I can just throw in my travel kit or purse. In my recent travels there are two that I find myself using (and purchasing) over and over again. The first one is Shakeup's award-winning Hydrate in a Hurry Stick, this stick delivers soothing, hydrating care to dry skin, whether you're fresh from a swim or a gym session. Ideal for sensitive skin, it's packed with nourishing ingredients like cucumber extract and hyaluronic acid. Swipe and go – it's that simple. My other favorite is the Mustela Baby Nourishing Stick, which is perfect for tackling dry skin. With natural avocado and cold cream, this soothing stick offers gentle moisture for the face, lips, and any area in need. Hypoallergenic and made with 98% natural ingredients, it's a slice of comfort, perfectly packaged for your journeys.



Face and Body Konjac Sponges - Gentle, Effective Cleansing

I love the Konjac sponges for cleaning my face, but I also recently discovered the body version so now both travel with me all over the world. They provide gentle exfoliation that’s suitable for both face and body, and turn soft when wet, providing a skin-friendly cleansing experience. Their reusable nature and effectiveness make them an indispensable part of your travel kit.




Tea Tree & Migraine Manager Roll-On Set - Relief at Your Fingertips

I love essential oils, so you bet when I found this duo it was instantly added to my travel kit. Tea Tree oil has so many uses including disinfecting properties for cuts and scrapes. And migraines do plague me from time to time, and this blend of essential oils somehow works wonders for easing that pain. Not to mention that these come in a convenient roll-on that’s so easy to pack - perfect for the traveler seeking on-the-go wellness solutions.







Each of these products in my toiletry kit has been a loyal companion on my solo adventures across the globe. They exemplify efficiency, sustainability, and the joy of travel itself. As I find, try and fall in love with other products, I’ll be sure to add them to this list.


But for now,

Cheers & Happy Travels!
