The Most Important Summer Travel Self-Care

Summer means more sun, salt air, travel, and time outdoors, which also means your skin may need a little extra care. Having the right skincare essentials on hand can make all the difference in keeping skin soft, refreshed, and comfortable all season. If you’re packing for vacation or simply updating your everyday routine, a few of our recommended staples can help level up your skincare. 

Try the Travel Size of Our Best-Selling Body Butter

Summer adventures call for skincare that can keep up, and our travel size body butter makes it easy to bring soft, nourished skin wherever the season takes you. At just 2 ounces, this carry-on-friendly essential is perfect for beach vacations, road trips, weekend getaways, or everyday summer travel.

Tuck it into your purse, beach bag, or carry-on for quick hydration whenever your skin needs a refresh. Made with nourishing shea butter and soothing aloe vera, it’s designed to help moisturize after sunny beach days, calm skin in dry airplane cabins, and bring comfort in windy or dry conditions. Whether you’re heading to the coast or exploring somewhere new, it’s an easy way to keep your favorite scent close and your skin feeling soft, smooth, and summer-ready.

Smooth, Cleansed Skin for Summer

Your summer skincare routine deserves better than harsh hotel soaps or drying body washes. Our cold-processed bar soaps are made to gently cleanse, exfoliate, and refresh without stripping away your skin’s natural moisture. We use a base of coconut, olive, and soybean oil to promote smooth skin. Our bar soaps are amazing for summer, helping to wash away sunscreen, sweat, and dead skin while leaving skin balanced.

We have four bar soaps with exfoliating ingredients like our Coconut Milk bar soap made with luffa powder. Perfect after beach days, pool time, or everyday summer showers, our nourishing bars keep skin glowing head to toe while giving you a more moisturizing, skin-loving cleanse wherever summer takes you.

Shower Steamers

Don’t forget to pack a few small self care upgrades for your summer getaway! Our shower steamers can make any vacation shower feel upscale. Whether you love beachy, fresh scents that bring coastal vacation vibes or calming, soothing fragrances that help you unwind after a long day in the sun, shower steamers are an easy way to turn a shower into a relaxing escape.
