Best Natural Beauty Products for Travel
If you’re a girl who loves to travel, & you love natural beauty products: this article is for you! I’ve traveled all over the world, & organic beauty products are hard to find in ANY country ~ but especially in developing countries. Though I love to pack light, I don’t skimp when it comes to my specialized beauty products: because I’ve found they simply don’t exist in many countries. Thus, welcome to your “Best Natural Beauty Products for Travel” article, that will break down my favorite travel go-to’s.
Keep it clean & natural while traveling…
I’m breaking natural beauty products down into four different categories here: 1) Natural Sunscreens, 2) Organic Skin Care, 3) Natural Perfumes, & 4) Natural Hair Care.
Best Natural Sunscreens for Travel
For sunscreen, I’m a huge fan of zinc oxide & titanium dioxide: both are physical blockers that start working instantly, & are the only truly “natural” sunscreen ingredients. Most sunscreens rely on chemicals such as oxybenzone & octinoxate, which block the sun by creating a chemical reaction in your body, potentially disrupting hormones. Personally, I avoid chemical sunscreens like the plague.
ALL sunscreens below use ONLY zinc oxide or titanium dioxide.

Best Natural Skin Care for Travel
I could spend hours in the Whole Foods beauty section…I ADORE natural skin care products! The following are tops on my list because they’re nearly impossible to find on the road. Stocking up on Amazon before a trip is a must.
If you’re new to organic skin care, don’t think you have to give up performance. Growing up, I had oily, acne-prone skin & used all the “regular” products ~ most of which were oil-free. NONE of this helped. What did help? USING OIL!! It’s counter-intuitive, but for me, has worked wonders. Jojoba oil is one of the best oils you can use ~ that has the same pH as your skin & won’t go on greasy.

Best Natural Perfumes for Travel
Perfume, by its very nature, is filled with chemicals. Finding a “natural” perfume is difficult, & the only brand I’ve ever found (& fallen in love with), is Pacifica. Their perfumes won’t last as long as department store perfumes. But the trade-off is, you won’t be covering yourself with chemicals. Pacifica’s range of scents is INCREDIBLE ~ & they give you that tropical, vacation vibe.

Best Natural Hair Care for Travel
Our “Best Natural Beauty Products for Travel” wouldn’t be complete without hair care. For organic hair care, there are two words: Shea Moisture. Their products smell amazing, feel amazing, & somehow manage to keep my blonde hair healthy ~ minus chemicals.

Hey there! I’m super into organic beauty products as well, & LOVE the Mistaya stick sunscreens you mention! They work so well when you’re on the go. Question: I’m a curly-haired girl like you, & I’m wondering which of the Shea Moisture line works best for you? Thanks!
Hey Misty! I totally agree ~ sunscreen sticks are a godsend when traveling/hiking! Love them. On a regular basis, I use the Coconut line (pink containers). But when my hair’s feeling super damaged or I’ve been in the sun a lot, I use the Frizz Defense Deep Conditioner (green container) & it works wonders on my hair! (As does trimming off split ends ; ) Hope that helps! xoxo
Exceptional post however , I was wanting to know if you could write a litte more
on this topic? I’d be very grateful if you could elaborate
a little bit further. Many thanks!
