If you’re looking for ways to reduce your waste while traveling, packing the right toiletry products can help. Here’s how to make a zero-waste toiletry kit.
Stasher’s
reusable plastic, zipper baggies
are a useful alternative to Ziploc baggies. The thicker material is not only sturdier but it’s made from silicone. These bags can be used for everything, from storing makeup to packing a wet bathing suit. The bags are also dishwasher safe, so you can clean in between uses.
If you’re looking for something that is made of cloth, check out United by Blue’s toiletry bags. For every product purchased, one pound of trash is removed. The
Westward Dopp Kit’s
lining is also made from 100 percent recycled polyester ripstop.
Luckily natural and eco-friendly beauty products are on-trend right now. Here are a few of my favorite beauty essentials that are both travel-friendly and eco-conscious in their ingredients and packaging.
Go even a step further and outright replace certain products that are traditionally made with plastic.
