Ultralight Travel Toiletries

Here’s the detail of my ultralight travel toiletries, avoiding ‘travel minis’ or decanting. Face has been holding up relatively well so far, without throwing lots of chemicals on it!

I could make this setup lighter if I decanted the oil from a nice glass bottle to a plastic one or cut the soap and shampoo bars in half, but the glass bottle gives me joy and I like the soap bars as they are!

Top Tips for Ultralight Travel Toiletries

Toiletries Gear List

Item/Link	Packed (g)	More Info
Forclaz Ultra Light and Compact Toiletry Bag	43	A small toiletry bag provides a natural limit on the toiletries you will bring. I particularly like this one because it has three sections. For me, it works well with the top section for hair and makeup, middle for dental and bottom for everything else. Recently ‘downsized’ to this bag from the Osprey Ultralight Zip Wash Bag which I used for many years and is a great pick if you need something a little bigger.
SPF Foundation, eye pencil, lip & cheek stick, small mascara	51	Yes pretty minimal!
Kent Pocket Comb and Nail File	26	I have thick straight hair and find brushes don’t always get through all the layers so tend to stick with a traditional comb and use frequently to stop dense knots. I detangle if necessary with Nuxe oil. This one comes with a very useful nail file in a nice sleeve. Made in UK.
Muji Travel Mirror	13	Nice lightweight choice
Superdrug Pro Care Mini Floss	11	Another lightweight choice
Sonisk Battery Pulse Travel Toothbrush	44	Great battery travel toothbrush. Made in UK (a ‘Dragons Den’ product)
Sonisk Fluoride Toothpaste Tabs	34	The best toothpaste tablets I’ve tried. These include fluoride and are ‘dentist approved’. Made in UK
FFS Face & Body Bar	55	Favourite bar after testing many! Made in UK from a sustainable brand.
FFS Shampoo Bar	60	Favourite bar after testing many! Made in UK from a sustainable brand.
Ace Travel Buddy Soap Dry Bag	17	An essential if travelling with solid toiletries. Pop your wet bar in the bag. The soap dries out! No slime or sogginess! This particular one includes a sucker for hanging up in the shower.
Gillette Venus Snap Razor & refill	18	Lightweight with easily available blades
Nuxe Huile Prodigeuse – Hair, body and Face Oil 30L Bottle	97	Replaces multiple products including hair conditioner (prewash treatment or leave-in detangler), face and body moisturiser
Nuxe Deodorant Balm Tin	29	Large tin which lasts for months, beautiful smell. Tried a few natural deodorants, this is my favourite by far.
Nuxe Sun Cream For Face SPF	37	Small tube. Being very fair, I don’t sunbathe. Tend to buy along the way as needed.
Total Toiletries including Toiletry Bag	535
