No matter the lifestyle you live or the way you choose to get outside the grind, there are a few things that should be simple. Finding the right products that will offer things you need without the mystery of what’s included isn’t something that should have to be on your pack list. For us, simply made, natural ingredients + conscious packaging are some of the most important factors when purchasing something new.
Sometimes, you get the whole shebang in one buy. Sometimes, there’s a little sacrifice that comes in exchange. But the one thing that you shouldn’t have to sacrifice is the ingredients that you’re putting in or on your body. This is not only important for your own health and wellness but equally, for the wellness of nature and the environment we live in.
Whether it’s packing a suitcase and hopping on a plane, stuffing a backpack to sleep under the stars or even just shacking up in your own space day to day, here are a few of our favorite TRIBE Tested Essentials for Travel. What’s best is you can use these every day, at home or off on a new adventure.
DEODORANT
BY MR. B’S
Finding a natural, odor eliminating deodorant is tough to come by. It’s a fact that no one likes body odor and finding the right fit for what to put on your armpits can be tough. The ingredients list is short and filled with things you can find at your local healthy food store or grow in your own yard. Beeswax, Coconut oil, Maize (corn) starch*, baking soda, Shea Butter, Cocoa Butter, Coriander, Cypress, Sage, and Lavender Essential oils. This solid stick feels nice, smells nice and is one of the only natural ones that we’ve found that doesn’t irritate the skin while still fighting odor.
SKIN TONIC
BY RAW ELEMENTS
Being on the go means shifting through weather changes and acclimating to new temperatures, sun rays, and waters. These subtle shifts can cause anyone’s skin to go haywire. Whether it’s dry from the cold or needs a little TLC after a day filled with sun kissed adventures, this skin tonic will refresh, rehydrate and rejuvenate each pore. Including ingredients like Aloe Vera, Red Algae, Juniper, Sage + Tea Tree, this tonic soothes your senses as much as the skin you’re spritzing it on.
OIL ROLLERS
BY MR. B’S
Once you use really good oils, you’ll swear by them. These rollers are compact enough to drop into any bag + carry with you on the go all the time. A good go to for a quick fix + support with any challenges that you might face. If you could only pick 2 to carry, we recommend the Immunity Booster and the Calm/Sleep rollers for any travel. Why? These are the two significant challenges most people face when living life on the go. Roll on the immunity booster to pump up your body’s natural ability to fight off germs you’ll cross on planes, public transit or even on the trail. Wind down at the end of your day with a few swipes of the calm/sleep on your temples, chest + soles of your feet to help fall fast asleep no matter where you’re choosing to lay your head.
BALM
BY DR. BRONNER’S
Chapped lips? Dap it on. Achy muscles? Rub it in. Chaffed skin? Slab it on. Whatever your skin care needs are, this little plastic-free tin will likely have you covered. No need to debate which items can come or go, the beauty of this balm is that it covers a multitude of uses and will compactly fit in most bags with ease. This brand has been checking off the conscious consumption markers since the 60’s and is one we’re stoked to have discovered.
