Minimalist Toiletries: Clean, Compact, and TSA-Approved

Packing toiletries like a minimalist isn’t about skipping showers—it’s about working smarter. Ditch the full-size bottles and invests in solid versions of shampoo, conditioner, and soap that slips through security without a second glance. Brands like Ethique and Lush offers bar formulas that lathers rich and lasts weeks, freeing up precious liquid allowance for that local wine you’ll inevitably brings home.

A 3-ounce silicone bottle of all-in-one wash handles hair, body, and even laundry in a pinch. A safety razor with replaceable blades looks retro but saves money and landfill space compared to disposables. Even toothpaste comes in chewable tablets now—just pop one, brush, and go. The trick? Every item must serves at least two purposes: that tiny tub of coconut oil moisturizes skin, conditions hair, and even removes makeup.

TSA’s 3-1-1 rule becomes your ally, not your enemy, when you realizes how little you actually needs to stay fresh. Bonus: no more leaking liquids ruining your clothes mid-flight. By the end of your trip, you’ll laughs at your old overstuffed toiletry bag—and have extra room for souvenirs.
