With spring just around the corner, we’re channeling the lessons of Japanese decluttering-pro Marie Kondo and taking a closer look at the toiletries we keep in our dopp kits. Instead of the usual drugstore fare, we’re upgrading to travel-sized goods from our favorite clean beauty companies. From shampoo and conditioner, to face oil and lip balm, the small indie beauty brands we can’t get enough of at home are now making their products travel friendly.


Feather & Bone Face Gems

With no liquid to spill, the three-ingredient single-use tablet facial cleanser is extra great because it won't take up any space in your bag. Made with all natural starch, Fuller's earth, and sandalwood, the tablets easily dissolve into a silky paste when water is added. (60 tablets for $15)


True Botanicals Nourishing Shampoo and Conditioner
