liWhether you're heading off for a weekend escape to the countryside or jet-setting across continents, packing the right essentials can make or break your travel experience. In the flurry of planning itineraries and managing logistics, self-care often takes a backseat.
Here’s our selection of must-have products designed to elevate your travel ritual, from skin-soothing remedies to mood-lifting aromatherapy, make sure these gems are in your suitcase…
#1 Botanical Beauty Balm
Our Botanical Beauty Balm is the crown jewel of our travel lineup, and for good reason. This versatile balm is your passport to radiant, nourished skin no matter your destination. Crafted with a blend of organic botanicals, it melts into the skin to deliver instant hydration and a soft, dewy glow whenever needed.
Long flights, harsh sun, and changing climates can wreak havoc on our skin. Botanical Beauty Balm steps in as your all-in-one rescue remedy. Use it as a moisturiser, lip balm, cuticle softener, or even a highlighter for cheekbones when you’re going makeup-free.
#2 Travel Candle
Hotels can be impersonal. Airbnbs can feel unfamiliar. Taking your favourite scent in a travel candle format instantly transforms any space into a sanctuary. Infused with our essential oil blends and hand-poured into a recyclable tin, this compact candle instantly fills your room with a familiar, comforting scent. Lighting the same candle in every new location builds a sense of continuity, especially for frequent travellers. Whether you're working or soaking in a hotel bathtub, the familiar aroma helps you feel at home wherever you are.
#3 Deep Cleansing Balm
Let’s face it: travel can clog your pores. From plane cabin air to unfamiliar water and increased SPF use, your skin is doing a lot of adjusting. Our Deep Cleansing Balm is here to rebalance and deeply purify.
Formulated with sweet almond, olive, calendula, broccoli seed and natural source vitamin E, this balm dissolves impurities while calming inflammation. It melts away makeup, sunscreen, and grime, all while leaving your skin soft and luminous.
Unlike gels or foams, this balm doesn’t strip the skin - simply massage it in and buff off with a warm, damp muslin cloth (we like to leave the hot cloth on for a moment and take a deep breath, letting the botanical aroma do its thing. Bliss!)
#4 Multi-use Therapy Pillow
It can take time for our bodies to adjust when travelling, and often, sleep and rest are the first things to get disturbed when cramped on a plane or in an unfamiliar bed. The Lavender Therapy Pillow by Botanique Workshop is perfect for easing aches, pains and cramps when used warm. Simply heat carefully in the microwave, using instructions provided, and apply to the affected area to soothe aching muscles or just to warm yourself as an alternative to a hot water bottle. Or pop it in the freezer and use as a cold pack treatment for reducing swelling, or at room temperature over the eyes for a moment of calm.
#5 Organic Cotton Reusable Make-Up Pads
No need to fill your bag with throwaway items, these make-up remover pads from Greenfibres are the first Soil Association-certified 100% organic cotton reusable pads. They are designed to be a little bigger (and thicker!) so you can cleanse with one side and apply toner with the other.
They last a long time with careful use, but when they get to the end of their life, organic cotton is fully biodegradable, so, once back from your travels, you can just add them to your compost heap!
