Holidays are glorious; packing for them, less so. How to distil your extensive skincare routine into a not comically large wash bag, or worse still into a hand-luggage friendly 20cm bag, without the faff of decanting?
These skincare sets from some of our absolute favourite brands contain standout products in mini sizes, and most are comprehensive sets so you won’t even have to think about what you need.
For those with more specific concerns, such as sun damage or dehydrating aeroplane cabins, there are smaller sets with targeted products, too.
- 8 best bikini brands for bigger busts that deliver on fit and style
- 10 best textured hair sprays for post-beach volume without the dryness
- 10 best facial sunscreens that will protect your skin all year round
- 10 best body sunscreens for SPF and UV protection that lasts
Even if you’re not jetting off this year, we’d recommend many of these sets, such as Tata Harper’s or Drunk Elephant’s, as a more affordable way to get acquainted with a new brand.
All of these contain products that are already firm favourites of ours, and we’ve discovered a few new ones too.
You can trust our independent reviews. We may earn commission from some of the retailers, but we never allow this to influence selections, which are formed from real-world testing and expert advice. This revenue helps to fund journalism across The Independent .
REN Clean Getaway: £29.75, John Lewis & Partners
Clean getaway is our go-to for a relaxing weekend in the country or a luxury hotel break: it’s the closest thing you’ll get to a spa experience in travel-size minis. The products are all focused on gentle, soothing results, with skincare (cleanser, moisturiser and mask) from REN’s Evercalm range, its & Now To Sleep pillow spray to encourage a good night’s kip, and the energising kelp and magnesium body wash and lotion for your shower come morning.
Drunk Elephant The Littles: £71, Cult Beauty
We’d recommend buying this one even if you’re not planning to leave the house this summer; it’s a brilliant way to discover the best of cult-favourite US brand Drunk Elephant, which has won us over with its no-nasties, effective products and colourful packaging. We’d be hard-pushed to choose our favourites, but B-Hydra intensive hydration serum and C-Firma day cream are both up there.
Patchology On The Fly: £18, Space NK
Patchology’s kit goes one step beyond travel-friendly minis of your usual products with its set of masks specifically designed to ward off parched post-flight skin. With two soothing, moisturising sheet masks (illuminate and hydrate) and two patch masks (eye and lip), there’s everything you need for some serious damage control.
Elemis The Luxury Travel Collection: £65, Elemis
There’s not even any packing required with this set from Elemis, which comes housed in a beautiful wash bag designed by fashion illustrator Megan Morrison. Inside you’ll find seven much-loved products plus a face cloth for proper cleansing. Our favourites are the pro-collagen marine cream and cleansing balm, and the frangipani monoi body cream, all of which we regularly use in full-size too.
Murad Travel Light Travel Bright: £25, Feel Unique
You couldn’t find a much better companion for a sunny break. Murad’s travel light kit contains minis of its Essential-C day moisture SPF 30 – which is hydrating, rich in antioxidants (to protect skin from environmental aggressors) and has all-important sun protection – and its age-spot correcting serum to help improve areas where the damage has already been done.
Omorovicza Mix and Match Travel: From £26, Omorovicza
For a personalised approach, Hungarian luxury skincare brand Omorovicza allows you to choose three travel-size products to suit you (the price varies depending on what you pick). Our dream selection features all our favourites: thermal cleansing balm, copper peel and illuminating moisturiser.
Balance Me Hydrated Skin Set: £15, Balance Me
This, from the natural beauty brand, is a no-fuss solution to both packing and skincare. Its pared-down combination of face wash, eye cream, moisturiser and a refreshing face mist is all you’ll need for a carefree holiday, no thinking required.
Tata Harper Daily Essentials: £65, Cult Beauty
Another great choice to discover the best of a cult US brand, the Daily Essentials set includes some of our Tata favourites, such as the rejuvenating serum and resurfacing mask, all in the same gorgeous, green frosted glass packaging you get with full-size. “Queen of Green”, Tata Harper’s 100 per cent natural and organic line, is much-loved by beauty editors.
Sunday Riley Flash Fix Kit: £28, Cult Beauty
A power pairing of cult products, this duo is all about exfoliating and brightening your skin. Ceramic slip cleanser uses three kinds of clay (of the kind often seen in purifying masks) to draw out excess oil and grime, and has a silky gel texture. Follow it up with exfoliating serum good genes, which uses glycolic acid to dissolve dead skin cells and revive dull skin.
Kate Somerville Face the Glow: £56, Space NK
This radiance-boosting trio would be just as good for someone needing a quick turnaround pre-party season as for getting a summer holiday glow. Containing three products from A-list facialist Kate Somerville’s ExfoliKate range – the face wash, quick wash-off exfoliating treatment and AHA moisturiser – it gives soft, bright skin.
The verdict: Travel-sized skincare sets
REN’s Clean Getaway is our Best Buy as it contains all the essentials and a little bit of luxury too. For something that is a great introduction to a brand too, we’d pick Elemis’s Travel Collection or Drunk Elephant’s The Littles .

Six essential travel toiletries for fresh-faced jet setting
By Robert Leedham
We’ve all suffered that last-minute scramble at the airport. Sure, you packed your passport, power adaptors and a hefty wad of foreign currency just waiting to be spent on overpriced cocktails, but what about your travel toiletries? Worse still, you have might have been one of those unfortunate souls who has made it all the way up to airport security only to realise your suitcase is stuffed full of creams, gels and fragrances that breach the all-important 100ml limit that's still in effect. If you’re reading this right now, we’re going to assume you’ve been smart enough to prep in advance for your holidays with a suite of travel-size grooming essentials. Because Lord knows that mid-sized Boots on the way to the departure gate won’t do much to help your cause.
Thankfully for both the impeccably organised and those who’ve previously tried to stuff their entire bathroom cabinet into a tiny see-through plastic bag, plenty of major grooming brands will happily cater to your holiday needs. From sun creams and body washes to moisturisers and toothpaste , we’ve found the tiny versions of our bathroom favourites. The best part of incorporating these into your carry-on? Because these products are smaller than their usual form, you can use your travels to try out something new and bougie. Because hey, you deserve to look your best in those poolside photos.
1. A classy sunscreen
Malin + Goetz SPF30
Cult Beauty
Nivea Sun Protect & Moisture To Go SPF30
Aesop Protective Lip Balm SPF30
Look, if you plan on spending a week soaking up the sun’s rays then you don’t need us to tell you the benefits of investing in a decent SPF. Not least because sunscreen is the one thing that’ll separate the colour of your tan from Liverpool FC red to Greek godly bronze. While you can trust in the ever-reliable properties of Nivea’s Sun Protect & Moisture To Go , we’d recommend something a little more luxe for those prepping for their beach-lounging in advance. Malin + Goetz’s SPF30 cream will protect skin while avoiding the typical pitfalls of blocked pores and an unseemly greasy residue. Pair it with Aesop’s Protective Lip Balm to truly do your body a kindness.
2. A versatile moisturiser
Kiehl's Facial Fuel Energising Moisture Treatment For Men
Kiehl's
The Ordinary Natural Moisturising Factors + HA
Lookfantastic
Malin + Goetz Face Essentials Duo
A good moisturiser is the foundation of any man’s grooming arsenal, but there’s a decent chance you might not want to take the truly luxe stuff with you in your wash bag . Thankfully, Kiehl’s Facial Fuel is an old reliable for many a GQ staffer with its vitamin and caffeine enriched formula that’s suitable for all skin types thanks to its non-oily properties. Given the sheer hype behind The Ordinary’s wares in the past year or so – blame TikTok's skincare influencers for that one – we’re delighted to see its own Natural Moisturising Factors is available in 30ml form for an absolute steal. And if you’re in need of a moisturiser and cleanser combo? Malin + Goetz’s Face Essentials Duo kit has your back (or indeed face).
3. A revitalising body wash
Kiehl’s Facial Fuel Energizing Face Wash
Cowshed Travel Set
Aesop Geranium Leaf Hydrating Body Treatment
Look, no one loves to hoard hotel-quality toiletries as much as us, but sometimes you simply want to take your at-home shower routine on holiday with you. Worse still, you might have unwittingly booked into a place that’ll only serve you body wash out of a giant pump. Fear not dear reader, the Cowshed’s Travel Set comes with the shower gel, shampoo and conditioner (as well as a delightful body lotion) to see you through such dark days. For those who want to spread their wings beyond a toiletry kit, we’d recommend both a Kiehl’s Face Wash and Aesop Geranium Leaf Hydrating Body Treatment as foundational tools in your morning battle against jetlag.
4. A one-stop shaving kit
Gilette Travel Set
Acqua di Parma Barbiere Essential Shaving Kit
Harry's Travel Bundle Shave Set
While it’s eminently possible to stow away your beard trimmer or electric shaver in your toiletry bag, nothing really beats the feeling of a baby-smooth holiday shave. For exactly that fresh-faced vibe, you can’t really say fairer than Gilette’s Travel Set , which comes with a razor and shaving gel, as well as a toothbrush, toothpaste and a few other essentials. If your travels call for something a little more refined, then Acqua di Parma’s Essential Shaving Kit will happily step up to the plate, while Harry’s Travel Bundle Shave Set serves up an accomplished middle-ground between the two.
5. A fresh fragrance
Tom Ford Private Blend Oud Wood Eau de Parfum Atomiser
Le Labo Santal 33 Eau de Parfum
Jo Malone London Poppy and Barley cologne
It’s worth taking the chance to reinvent your signature scent when jet setting off somewhere sunnier, or at the very least you should use your getaway as a means to expand the horizons of your eau de parfum repertoire. Tom Ford’s Private Blend is a prime example of such a decadent opportunity with its woody oud blend proving a perfectly sensual companion for after-hours stumbling around cobbled streets and dimly lit bars. For a similarly masculine fragrance that’ll see you through the morning after, Le Labo’s Santal 33 is a fresh and stimulating delight with notes of cardamom, iris and violet. As for Jo Malone London’s Poppy and Barley cologne ? It’s been elegantly crafted so that you can take a taste of Blighty with you as you explore warmer climes.
6. A comprehensive travel mini kit
Aesop Departure Kit
Molton Brown The Daring Adventurer Mini Travel Bag
Molton Brown
Malin + Goetz Best Sellers Travel Kit
Let’s face it, holiday prep can be stressful enough without you having to itemise the contents of your travel toiletry bag. That’s why several of the most-lauded men’s grooming brands have done the decent thing and shrunk their finest wares into one devilishly handsome package. Our pick of the bunch? Aesop’s Departure Kit , which is absolutely stuffed full of its best-loved products including the Blue Chamomile Facial Hydrating masque, Immediate Moisture Facial Hydrosol, mouthwash and toothpaste. For those who intend to spend more time in the bathtub than under a parasol, Molton Brown’s The Daring Adventurer Mini Travel Bag really is an essential purchase. As for a greatest hits skincare collection? The Malin + Goetz Best Sellers Travel Kit does exactly what it says on the tin.

The best travel-sized beauty products for your next getaway
Keep skin, hair and body happy all holiday with these travel-sized toiletries.
If your holiday plans involve a flight, travel-sized products also help you to streamline your beauty kit to the point it will fit in your carry-on case, with no last-minute throwing away of your favourite skincare before boarding (no judgement; even GH's beauty team has been there!).
Most airlines will only allow you a small quantity of liquids, creams, gels, pastes and aerosols for your flight, so it's important to be savvy when selecting your cabin bag beauty buys. Makeup in solid and powder forms are usually fine, though sun care, fragrance, cosmetics, and travel-sized toiletries must all be under 100ml each, ready to be moved into a transparent and resealable 20cm x 20cm bag before boarding. Some airport security also consider lipsticks, balms and mascaras to be liquids, so it's always best to check your airport’s specific policy before packing.
From camping to cruises, a pick-and-mix of beauty products in suitcase-friendly sizes can see you through trips of any length and distance. Meet the travel-sized beauty bits we'll have ready for action...
Sun Bum Day Tripper Kit
We all know the importance of SPF. This handy kit from experts in suncare, Sun Bum, makes being sun-safe easier. With an SPF30 sunscreen, a cooling after-sun and even a protecting lip balm, they have you covered from all angles. You can count on this brand to have deliciously lightweight textures and even better scents.
Charlotte Tilbury Quick & Easy Makeup
Available in five Charlotte Tilbury-approved colour edits, this pocket-sized compact has everything you need to add a chic touch of colour to your lids, cheeks and lips. Scribble on and blend with your fingertip for an effortless makeup look. It features an eyeshadow stick, a lip and cheek wand, as well as a glow-giving highlighter.
Dr. Hauschka Trial Set for Mature Skin
Specially curated for mature skin, this hardworking trial set from Dr. Hauschka is not only ideal for trying out new skin heroes but it also doubles up as your next go-to travel set. Featuring their Cleansing Cream, Regenerating Serum, and Regenerating Day Cream, experience serious firming and tightening with help from all-natural and sustainably sourced ingredients.
Hair by Sam McKnight Cool Girl Barely There Texture Mist
The stylist-favourite texturising mist now comes in a mini, making it perfect for delivering volume abroad or on-the-go. Spritz into dry hair, tousle with your fingers, and enjoy some added movement and body. And, with its bright, floral scent (created by perfumer Lyn Harris, no less) your hair will also smell amazing.
Farmacy Beauty Green Clean Makeup Removing Cleansing Balm
Our skin goes through a lot when we're on holiday or in sunnier climates: perspiration, combined with plenty of SPF, means our skin needs to be properly cleansed at the end of each day. Farmacy's cleansing balm is one of the most hardworking we've found; it dissolves every scrap of grime and still manages to leave the skin feeling comfortable and non-stripped. Even the most cleansing balm adverse on our beauty desk have fallen hard for this.
JVN Complete Air Dry Cream Travel
Hair stylist Jonathan Van Ness' line, JVN, is big on results. The famous Air Dry Cream now comes in a mini, and is excellent for nurturing holiday hair (think UV damage, salt water, chlorine). With moringa seed oil and chia extracts, the formula is so nourishing and excellent at creating some laissez-faire polish without any real effort.
BYOMA Hydrating Starter Kit
Packed full of ceramides and fatty acids, this hydrating trio from Byoma is your skin barrier's new best friend. Start with the jelly cleanser to get rid grime, follow with the intensely nourishing serum and lock it all in with the cooling gel cream. GH Beauty Team approved.
Curél Deep Moisture Spray Mini
This clever spray is one that all the family can get behind. The kind-to-skin formula hydrates dry skin, soothes prickly heat and can even refresh tired makeup at the end of the day. Our beauty writer keeps hers in the fridge for a spritz that's extra cooling in the warmer months.
Tatcha Dewy Cleanse + Hydrate Duo
For skin that feels tight and fussy, Tatcha's Dewy range is just the ticket. There's so much to love about the Rice Wash Cleanser: it's beautifully creamy and hydrating, yet somehow effectively rids dirt. As for the moisturiser, it's one that has the GH team has awarded as one of their favourite of the year. It leaves dull, tired skin looking firm and bouncy with a real, visible glow.
Cowshed Travel Collection Set
Featuring all the must-try Cowshed products, this travel set comes with a clear, flight-safe bag making your next trip away both chic and fuss-free. Featuring both an Active and Relax shower gel, shampoo, conditioner and body lotion, this set is super versatile and takes care of all of your bathing needs. Smart.
Sol de Janeiro Bum Bum Jet Set
Showcasing Sol de Janeiro’s joyful pistachio, salted caramel and vanilla scent, these delicious-smelling travel-sized toiletries include a deluxe size of the cult-favourite Bum Bum Cream, a shower gel and a fragrance, for supple skin that smells sweet and summery. It's a warm weather staple.
Tata Harper The Clean Dream Team Set
Keep skin feeling refreshed and clean with these four travel-friendly heroes. The cleanser buffs away any excess dirt and oil, whilst the mask and the serum work hard to brighten your skin and the moisturiser delivers dewy skin of dreams. This brand goes big on sensorial textures and natural scents, so they're all a real pleasure to use.
Briogeo Farewell Frizz Smooth + Shine Hair Care Minis
Frizzy hair will thank you for this stellar line-up of haircare heroes. The sulphate-free shampoo and conditioner work hard to gently cleanse and nourish hair with the help of softening oils, whilst the leave-in conditioning spray and heat protectant make sure to keep it in condition throughout the day.
NUDESTIX Soft and Warm Nudes Mini Kit
These three beautiful multi-purpose sticks come with a nifty on-the-go case, so they can easily be slipped into your handbag or makeup bag. The bronzer, blusher and illuminator can be used together or separately to create a gorgeous lit-from-within complexion.

11 Best Luxury Travel Toiletries Sets
- FIRST POSTED: 9th December 2022 | LAST UPDATED: 24th February 2023
- 2 minute read
Looking for great toiletry and travel beauty sets?
The ‘no-liquids’ rule really has changed the way we travel with hand-luggage only. One of the reasons why I almost always check my luggage is because I cannot stand the idea (and effort) of decanting (probably due to the amount of travel that I do), and I am grateful that some brands really have upped their game in this department – and we are not talking samples, but real ranges of the products that you need, all carefully curated in a gorgeous looking toiletry or beauty travel set.
Here are some of my favourite travel beauty and toiletry sets – some of which even include both face and body care (which is not a usual combination – usually is just one or the other).
Below I curated a list of beauty travel and/or toiletry sets for women, men, unisex and for children (which are even harder to find). I hope you find one or two to take on your next trip.

The 7 Best Travel Toiletry Bottles of 2024, Tested and Reviewed
Avoid spills and score style points with these liquid containers

TripSavvy / Leticia Almeida
There’s nothing worse than arriving excitedly at your destination to find that your toiletries have spilled all over your suitcase. Or to be the person who holds up the line at security while the TSA agents discard your oversized liquids. Both of these scenarios are easily avoided by investing in a set of appropriately sized, 100 percent leakproof travel toiletry bottles. There are lots of options out there in terms of bottle quantity, size, and design, with the right one for you depending on factors such as how long you’ll be traveling and the complexity of your beauty routine.
To help you narrow down the choices, our team of travel experts put 14 toiletry bottle sets to the test. Each one was scored for ease of use, quality, design, performance, and value, with average scores used to determine the winners of categories ranging from “best budget” to “most durable.”
Final Verdict
How we tested.
- What to Look For
Why Trust TripSavvy
Best overall, liquisnugs premium leak-proof silicone travel bottles.
- Ease of Use 5 /5
- Quality 5 /5
- Design 5 /5
- Performance 5 /5
Very secure, with no leaks during testing
Stick to vertical surfaces
Easy to stay organized
Lack of variety
The LiquiSnugs Premium Silicone Travel Bottles offer flawless performance at a price so reasonable our tester was shocked by it. The set includes two 2-ounce bottles and two 3-ounce bottles, both of which adhere to TSA carry-on regulations. We liked the flexibility afforded by the two different sizes since there are always products we need more and less of on vacation. We were able to easily fit all four in a quart-sized Ziploc bag simultaneously without placing pressure on any of them. All bottles are made of flexible, food-grade, BPA-free silicone, making them easy to pack and dispense.
With a dripless valve and bottleneck design, the bottles are advertised as 100 percent leakproof—a claim we can support, with no spillages even after being dropped and thrown around repeatedly during testing. We liked that the bottles’ wide mouths made them simple to fill, empty, and clean as needed. Other highlights include the suction pad on the back of each bottle (great for attaching them to the bathroom wall) and the changeable labels. Options for the latter include shampoo, conditioner, sunscreen, soap, and lotion, enabling you to switch up the uses on each trip.
Number of Bottles: 4 | Sizes: (2) 2-ounce, (2) 3-ounce | Materials: Silicone
TripSavvy / Tamara Staples
Best Budget
Vitog travel bottles kit.
- Ease of Use 4 /5
- Performance 4.5 /5
Multiple dispensing methods
Comes with several functional extras
Good value for money
Capacity could be larger
Retailing for half the price of our already affordable overall winner, the Vitog Travel Bottles Kit is a no-brainer for budget-conscious buyers. It includes six 1.4-ounce bottles and two 0.4-ounce bottles. The larger ones consist of two pump bottles with a removable clip to prevent accidental deployment, two spray bottles, and two flip-cap bottles. The smaller ones are miniature cream jars. All eight are made from clear PET plastic, which we found durable yet lightweight enough for travel. We also liked that we could easily see how much product was left.
We appreciated the thoughtful inclusion of a pipette, a funnel, and a spatula to help with decanting products from their original containers. They made the bottles relatively easy to fill, although we did experience some spillage when decanting thick body lotion. Nevertheless, there was no leaking or visible wear and tear after our intensive testing process. The set also includes a sheet of labels and a clear plastic toiletry bag. The only real drawback? None of the bottles are particularly big, making this option suitable for short trips only.
Number of Bottles: 8 | Sizes: (2) 0.4-ounce, (6) 1.4-ounce | Materials: PET plastic
Cadence The Originals Set
- Design 4.5 /5
- Performance 4 /5
Unique design
Performed well throughout testing
Customizable
More of an investment than others
Limited capacity
The Originals from Cadence are small, hexagonal capsules with screw-top lids that connect magnetically together in any shape or configuration you like. Aesthetics are at the forefront of this brand, as you can choose different colors for each capsule as well as printed, switchable, magnetic labels. In fact, they look so cute that you could even buy toiletries in bulk and decant them into these capsules for use at home. Sustainable practices like these are reinforced by the fact that the capsules are made from 20 percent recycled ocean-bound plastic.
We love that the capsules’ wide mouths and rounded interiors make them effortless to fill, use, and clean. They’re also 100 percent leakproof, waterproof, and airtight, as proven by our testing process. We found them incredibly durable and can’t imagine a scenario that would result in them being punctured or crushed. They are small (each one carries just 0.56 ounces), which could be a drawback. However, a capacity calculator on the brand website suggests you can carry approximately a week’s worth of products, depending on how regularly you use each one.
Number of Bottles: 6 | Sizes: (6) 0.6-ounce | Materials: Hard plastic
Most Durable
Mrsdry travel bottles.
- Ease of Use 3.5 /5
- Design 4 /5
Soft yet rugged silicone construction
Effective leakproofing
User friendly
No diversity in size or design
If your primary concern when packing liquids in your hand luggage is leaking, you’ll love the Mrsdry Travel Bottles Set. It consists of four 3-ounce bottles, each made of thick silicone that feels ultra-durable, and they stood up perfectly to our squeeze and drop tests. We were particularly impressed with the bottles’ no-drip valves, which successfully prevented leaks. All four bottles use the same shape and dispensing method—a pro for those who want lots of capacity for fewer products, and a drawback for those with a more complex personal care routine.
Having said that, we did feel that this set is so reasonably priced, there’s nothing to stop you from buying multiple sets if you have more products to pack. Instead of labels, the bottles come in four separate shades to distinguish between them. We also liked that their wide opening makes them easy to fill, even with thicker liquids and gels. And when it comes to cleaning them, the bendable silicone easily accommodates a bottle brush. All colorways include a transparent carry case.
Number of Bottles: 4 | Sizes: (4) 3-ounce | Materials: Silicone
Best Variety
Morfone 16 pack travel bottles.
- Ease of Use 4.5 /5
- Quality 4.5 /5
Good array of containers
Burly silicone handles rough treatment
Jar lids are weaker than expected
Multicolored style may not suit everyone
The Morfone Travel Bottles Set caters to travelers with an extensive beauty routine. With 10 containers in a wide variety of shapes, sizes, and dispensing methods, you can take a broad range of products in just the right quantities for your time away. Options are as follows: two 1-ounce spray bottles, two 3-ounce squeeze bottles, two 2-ounce squeeze bottles, two 1-ounce jars, and two 0.3-ounce jars. We were impressed by the capacity of the largest bottles, which we felt could easily hold at least four washes’ worth of shampoo and conditioner.
The bottles are made of durable yet flexible food-grade silicone, with wide mouths for easy filling and cleaning. We appreciated the inclusion of two scoopers, a funnel, and a cleaning brush to help with these tasks, as well as a sheet of labels. Most of the containers held up well to our durability tests with no leaks or spills. The only exception was one of the jars, which suffered a broken lid. The set comes in a transparent carry bag and could fit into a quart-sized Ziploc (a TSA requirement) with some skillful maneuvering, although it was tight.
Number of Bottles: 10 | Sizes: (2) 0.3-ounce, (4) 1-ounce, (2) 2-ounce, (2) 3-ounce | Materials: Silicone
Best for Larger Capacities
Insfit tsa carry-on approved containers.
Great value for money
Well-designed lids
Choice of cute color palettes
Can be finicky with certain products
The INSFIT set is ideal for those who like to keep things simple with only a handful of essential products but also tend to travel for longer and need as much capacity as TSA will allow. It features four identical 3-ounce silicone bottles large enough to hold at least one to two weeks’ worth of shampoo, conditioner, body wash, and sunscreen (or similar). The bottles are squeezable, which makes dispensing simple, although we found that thicker lotions and gels were easier to squeeze if the bottle was at least half full.
Other highlights include fully removable caps and wide mouths for mess-free filling and easy cleaning, and three-layered lids that are essentially leakproof. Even during our pressure test, caps remained securely in place, and afterward, the bottles still looked brand new. In fact, we were shocked to find out how affordable this set is given its evident quality. We also liked the stylish, see-through carry bag and the fact that there’s a special place on the caps to stick the included labels so that they adhere properly.
Best for Backpacking
Matador flatpak toiletry bottle.
Ideal for reducing heft and bulk
Thoughtful design elements
Proved durable during our testing
Difficult to fill with thicker consistencies
Made of waterproof 30D Cordura ripstop nylon with proprietary welded construction, the Matador FlatPak Toiletry Bottles are by far the most technical option on this list. With their flat-pack design and sturdy quality, they’re designed especially for adventures and expeditions where saving on space and weight is a priority . With a capacity of 3 ounces each, they’re five times lighter and 3.5 times more compact than standard silicone bottles, and pliable enough to fit into tight spaces: the ultimate backpacking companion.
We found them easy to fill with any liquid that was the consistency of shampoo or thinner. Thicker gels and lotions were tricky since the mouth wasn’t as wide as that of standard travel bottles. Still, any mess is easy to clean off the waterproof exterior. They fit easily into a quart-sized Ziploc, and we love the snap hook for attaching to the outside of your backpack for on-the-go use. The loop also features a spot for writing a description of the contents with a permanent marker. As expected, the packs survived all our tests with zero leaks or signs of damage.
Number of Bottles: 3 | Sizes: (3) 3-ounce | Materials: 30D Cordura ripstop nylon
Our overall favorite was the LiquiSnugs Premium Travel Bottles set. These bottles stood out for their durable, leakproof silicone construction and thoughtful extras including adjustable labels and individual suction pads. For the most budget-friendly option, choose the small yet sturdily versatile Vitog Travel Bottles Kit .
Upon receiving the bottles, our first step was to examine their overall quality and design and note any unique features. Then, we filled at least three of the bottles in the set: one with lotion, one with micellar water, and one with shampoo. For each one, we noted how easy it was to fill without spilling, how easy it was to clean if spillage did occur, and how appropriate each bottle would be for holding different types of liquid. We also tested how easy it was to open the bottle and dispense the product inside.
Next, we compressed the bottles in our palms to mimic pressure. We shook them, rolled them, squeezed them, and threw them to stimulate rough handling in transit, noting how well they withstood this treatment. Our final test was to put all of the bottles from the set into a quart-sized Ziploc bag, and then inside a toiletry bag. Then, we dropped them from waist height three times, always from different angles, to see whether any breakages or leaks occurred and whether the bottles showed any signs of wear and tear.
Each set was scored on a scale of one to five for ease of use, quality, design, performance, and value. Average scores were used to determine our category winners.
Other Travel Toiletry Bottles We Tested
GLOBEGEAR Travel Bottles : This nine-piece set features a solid range of containers and tools made of hard plastic that doesn't feel flimsy. We deducted points for the skimpy capacity of the bottles, which would only last a few days or applications (and made filling the bottles difficult), though the affordable price makes this a good option for the infrequent traveler.
Kitsch Travel Containers : Fans of variety will appreciate the range of products included in this compact kit. It won't set you back much and, accordingly, we feel it also won't last long. We like the idea of the flat containers but found them somewhat difficult to fill.
Cosywell Travel Containers : The Cosywell Containers are all the same shape in 10- and 20-milliliter capacities. We found the plastic and silicone jars easy to fill and well-designed, but they're more suited to thick liquids such as gels and creams.
What to Look For in Travel Toiletry Bottles
Durability is key when choosing travel toiletry bottles since containers that are easily punctured or cracked will result in a mess that’s at best inconvenient and at worst potentially expensive or upsetting depending on how much product is wasted and whether any other items in your carry-on are affected. Look for options made out of sturdy hard plastic or thick, flexible silicone, then check user reviews to get an idea of how the construction holds up under real-life travel conditions. If you’re planning an extreme adventure, technical options like the waterproof flat-pack bottles from Matador may be worth the extra expense.
Leakproofness
A bottle doesn’t have to break for leaks to occur—all it takes is a poorly constructed seal or lid. Look for bottles with a triple-layered leakproof cap and jars with a secure screw top. Pump bottles should come with a removable clip that prevents them from being deployed accidentally. Again, user reviews help check how efficient these measures are (it’s easy for a brand to advertise their product as leakproof, even if it’s not). Some brands, like Cadence, actually guarantee the efficacy of their leakproof design. Just in case, we always recommend storing toiletry bottles in a waterproof bag or Ziploc as a second line of defense.
If you plan on packing your toiletry bottles in your carry-on bag, you must make sure that none of them exceed the TSA-approved limit of 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Some sets are made up of identical large bottles of around 3 ounces, giving you the maximum allowable capacity for each of your products. However, because all bottles must fit in a single quart-sized Ziploc bag, this limits the number of bottles to around four.
If you have more products to pack, you may prefer a set that divides this capacity between a greater number of smaller bottles and containers—especially if you only require some of your liquids in very small quantities. The length of your trip will also dictate how big you need your bottles to be unless you only plan on using your carry-on liquids as a backup in case the full-size versions in your checked luggage get delayed.
Toiletries can be stored in opaque, translucent, or transparent bottles of any color as long as each individual bottle does not exceed the maximum capacity limit. For carry-on bags, most authorities including TSA set that limit at 3.4 ounces. Liquids can be in their original container or decanted into any container of your choosing (even one that’s labeled incorrectly), as long as these size restrictions are adhered to.
Most airport authorities—including TSA—rule that bottles containing liquids, aerosols, gels, creams, and pastes cannot exceed 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) if you wish to pack them in your carry-on luggage . In addition, all of these bottles must fit inside a quart-sized Ziploc bag and be screened separately from the rest of your luggage at security. Containers that exceed this limit will not be permitted, even if the volume of the product inside is less than 3.4 ounces (for example, if you have a half-used bottle of conditioner). Note that these restrictions do not apply to checked luggage.
Although toiletry bottles don’t have to be labeled from a legal perspective, many people like to do so to ensure they don’t end up brushing their teeth with expensive moisturizer, or vice versa. Some travel bottles come with waterproof stickers, especially for this purpose, and you can also purchase them separately online. This is a better option than writing on a standard office label by hand since toiletry bottles frequently get wet and ink can run and cause staining or become illegible. Alternatively, a permanent marker applied directly to the bottle could be an option if you’re always going to use the same container for the same product.

13 Best Travel Toiletry Bottles: Editor Tested, Leakproof, & Reusable
By Meaghan Kenny
All products featured on Condé Nast Traveler are independently selected by our editors. However, when you buy something through our retail links, we may earn an affiliate commission.
Beauty and skincare products like shampoo, moisturizer, and face wash are essential on every packing list , whether you're heading to a hotel or are staying with friends or family. Since buying miniature versions of your favorite products can be expensive—and typically means purchasing a whole lot of single-use plastics—having practical and reliable toiletry travel bottles you can pull out for every trip is a must.
To make sure the reusable bottles we're throwing in our Dopp kit are easy to use and don't leak, we tested out a variety of affordable travel sets to see which ones actually get the job done. Below, you'll find 13 of the best travel toiletry bottles that will protect the contents of your luggage—and all of the creams, soaps, and serums you've shelled out for—and keep you organized on the go. Even better, all of these picks are TSA-friendly in size, so you don't have to worry about any of your favorite products being thrown out at the airport. As an added bonus, many of these travel bottles are available on Amazon Prime, so you can get your hands on them quickly before a last-minute getaway.
How we tested
I scoured the internet to find the most popular travel toiletry bottles—searching a variety of retailers, reading hundreds of reviews, and considering online ratings. After my initial research, I put many reusable toiletry bottles to the test, trying out dozens of options that range in price, size, and design. I've had some of these toiletry bottles for over a year and they've accompanied me on a mix of weeklong vacations in checked luggage and short weekend trips in tightly-packed duffel bags .
Over the last several months, I tested another batch of options: I've filled them with a variety of skincare, hair care, and body products—thick body wash, contact solution, and leave-in conditioner included. I've even left these filled containers upside down overnight to see if there were any unexpected leaks. My findings: There are many great options on the market to choose from and you don't need to break the bank to find the perfect set for you. Below, the best travel toiletry bottles to pack wherever you're headed next .
Our top picks

- Best for easy packing: Cadence The Capsule Flex System

This article has been updated with new information since its original publish date.
No matter how organized I try to stay, my bathroom counter at every hotel always becomes cluttered with my many toiletries and hair products . The LiquiSnugs look like your classic silicone travel bottles, but they feature a clever suction cup on the back that allows you to stick them onto any shower wall—freeing up limited counter space. These are great for in-shower products like shampoo, conditioner, and body wash. This set of four bottles features two 3-ounce bottles and two 2-ounce bottles, so you can choose how much product you need depending on the length of your trip. Another smart design feature: Twist the top to adjust the label name so you won't forget what's inside. I've had these for about a year now and I consistently reach for these to pack shampoo and conditioner.
Pros : The unique suction cup design makes them great for shower products.
Cons : These occasionally will fall off shower walls if there's not a little bit of water to keep them in place.
This Amazon bestseller is versatile enough for every type of traveler. The 18-pack from Tocelffe features four silicone bottles of varying size (two 3-ounce bottles and two 2-ounce bottles), four small jars for creams and serums, two spray bottles, two spatulas, a funnel, labels, and a cleaning brush. These all come in a waterproof toiletry bag that you can reuse to carry makeup or tech essentials. In this set, I find myself mostly reaching for the ultra-soft silicone bottles, which are great for products like body wash, face cleanser, and micellar water. Each of these bottles feature three-layer leak-proof tops so you don't have to worry about spills in your bag. Something I love about these bottles is how they can be bent and squeezed easily to get every last bit of product out of them.
Pros: Very affordable, comes in a clear toiletry case, and the bottles' wide opening makes it easy to refill. Cons: The small plastic jars are not as reliable as the silicone bottles in this set.
If you're just looking for a few affordable no-frills travel bottles, these are for you. Available in a variety of colors, the silicone bottles do just what they say they will. They're leakproof, come in a set of four, and are easy to refill and clean. While there’s no bells and whistles, these three-ounce bottles pleasantly surprised me with just how much product they fit compared to some of the other classic silicone bottles we tested, making them an ideal option for a longer vacation. Plus, these have an average of 4.5 stars on Amazon with over 11,000 global reviews.
Pros: Versatility; available in many colorways
Cons : This set doesn't come with labels or a proper toiletry case.
Another solid choice for travelers is this set of four 3-ounce silicone travel bottles. These are squeezable, leakproof, and versatile enough to use for everything from shower products and soaps to sauces and baby food. These reusable bottles are all the same size and each a different color so you can differentiate them. Bonus: This set comes in a transparent toiletry case to keep them all organized in.
Pros : This set is available in a dozen colorways; wide opening makes them easy to refill without needing a funnel. Cons : This set doesn't come with labels.
If you prefer to bring along a bar of soap instead of using what's provided at the hotel, this compact soap box is a great travel companion. Inside, there's a soap mat that absorbs any excess water and prevents the soap from becoming mushy. I've used other plastic soap cases before without a mat and it always leaves a mess. This one features a silicone band that wraps tightly around the box for extra protection, and is about the size of a deck of cards.
Pros : Fits most commonly used soap brands, affordable, and features a simple-to-use design.
Cons : The soap box needs the band to stay secure so be careful not to lose it.
I've been a fan of Cadence's capsules for a few years now. These leakproof, airtight, and watertight magnetic capsules are unlike any other travel bottles I've used and are a true game changer when it comes to packing your own beauty products. The individual capsules magnetically snap together to take up as little space as possible in your Dopp kit and are designed without any right angles or edges, so you get every last bit of product available.
The original .56-ounce individual capsules are great for weekend trips and storing small items like daily vitamins and safety pins. The Capsule Flex System allows you to customize your own bundle with your choice of small , medium , and large sizes, as well as The Extender —an add-on that allows you to increase the size of the bottle when you need more room. This makes it so easy to customize your travel routine, whether you want to pack extra product for longer trips or bring enough body wash for you and your travel buddy. With The Flex System, you can still choose your own label for each capsule (the labels are interchangeable), as well as the color and number of capsules in your bundle.
Pros : It's easy to get every last drop of product inside each capsule and they are so easy to rinse out and reuse. The custom labels can be swapped out depending on what you're packing.
Cons : These are the most expensive option on our list.
I was eager to test out the Ries travel bottles after hearing a lot of buzz about the product and seeing them make their way into retailers like Sephora and Goop. These are a more elevated, aesthetically pleasing take on the classic reusable travel bottles you may have used in the past. Ries prioritized sustainability and design with these essentials: Each bottle is made from recycled plastic and features a large opening at the top, which makes it easy to refill and clean (not to mention, they're dishwasher safe). Travelers can purchases these bottles individually (a 3.4-ounce bottle or a 1.7-ounce bottle) or in a set with both sizes . My favorite thing about these bottles is the airless pump—I feel so glamorous while doing my nighttime skincare routine with these, and it makes it easier to use products like face wash or cleanser on the road. The bottles are pre-labeled (shampoo, conditioner, body, face) and you can twist the top to the side to conceal the opening, so product won't spill out.
Pros : Sustainably made; if you prefer a pump, these are for you.
Cons : On the pricier side; the bottles are a bit bulky and take up a little more room in my makeup bag than most travel-size products I use.
Finally, a solution to my contact lens woes. I can't count the number of times I've stopped into a drugstore to buy a mini bottle of contact lens solution before heading out on a trip, or to pick up rewetting drops because I'm dealing with dry contacts while away from home. This compact case makes cleaning and caring for contacts on the go much easier—it comes with an easy-to-fill reusable dropper that gives me a long weekend's worth of solution, a contact case, and has a mirror to help get them in and out. (I don't like to fly in contacts, so this is particularly handy if I forget to switch to my glasses before leaving home.) It weighs next to nothing, and will fit in all but my smallest handbags, so I've been keeping it on me regularly, not just when traveling. — Madison Flager, senior commerce editor
Pros : It comes with a tiny pair of tweezers to make removing contacts from the case less messy. Cons : The contact solution holder isn't large enough for weeklong trips.
I admit I've also been guilty of buying mini versions of my favorite contact solution. As much as I love reusable toiletry bottles for my skincare and hair products, I've never had anything that felt right for the consistency of my contact solution. I wear daily lenses, meaning I don't need a whole lot of solution with me when I travel, so it is a little frustrating to carry around a bottle that takes up precious space in my Dopp kit. Lately, I've been carrying about the Cauyuan eye glass case which comes with a super small dropper for contact solution. This refillable dropper holds just enough contact solution for weekend trips and shorter vacations and takes up such little space (I've even found myself tossing it in my handbag in case my eyes get a little dry.) This durable case keeps all of my eye care essentials together and protected, with a separate compartment for eye glasses, and another that holds the dropper, tweezers, a contact case, and a mirror.
Pros : All of my eyewear essentials are now in once place and stay organized; the dropper is small enough to fit in a tiny purse. Cons : The compartment for your eye glasses is on the small size—if you have thick or bulky frames, they might not fit.
I've never found a reusable spray bottle for my perfume that I've liked, so I've always relied on buying miniature versions of each of my favorite fragrances. But let's be real—those travel-size perfume bottles are expensive! They're often made of glass, too, making them vulnerable to breaking in your luggage. Enter the Vonovo mini refillable perfume bottles: Each of these holds 0.2 ounces of your favorite scent, more than enough for a long vacation. This set comes with five spray bottles, so you can bring along any of your favorites—or all of them. And they are so easy to use—simply pull off the top of your full-size perfume, press the bottom of the mini bottle on top of it, and keep clicking until its refilled. Each of the bottles have a clear vial inside so you can see how much product you have left. My favorite part: These are so tiny—think the size of a lipstick— meaning I can even bring them with me on a date night when I'm only carrying a small purse .
Pros : Easy to refill and compact enough to fit in even the tiniest of travel bags Cons : These spray bottles wont match the look of your full-size perfume and don't have labels, so you'll have to remember based on the color of the mini bottle you choose. Also, these can be refilled with the same perfume, but I wouldn't recommend reusing them with another scent.
For those with a more rigid skincare or haircare routine, this 16-pack lets you bring along every last product you want—and it all fits into one reusable case. The set comes with four silicone bottles, four jars, two spray bottles, two scoopers, a funnel, and a cleaning brush. The variety means you can pack everything from soap and shampoo to serums and sprays in here, and the cleaning brush makes the bottles easy to clean and re-use. I like this set best for packing my more expensive skincare serums and creams in the small jars that have a scooper to use.
Pros : A variety of types of containers
Cons : The toiletry case the bottles come in isn't the best quality.
The Kitsch Ultimate travel set includes leakproof holders that are compact and lightweight enough to pack in a purse or tote bag . In addition to three flat pouches, this set also comes with two pump bottles, two mini jars, one mini funnel, one mini spatula, and one mini pipette. This set is best for a longer trip—say, a European vacation or a cross-country road trip —as you can store a lot more shampoo, conditioner, and lotions in the pouches without going over any TSA limits (plus, they'll get lighter as you use them).
Pros : The flat pouches are easy to pack and take up less room in a Dopp kit than bulkier bottles.
Cons : The pouches are a little bit harder to refill than bottles with a wide opening.
If you're packing toiletries for your entire family , this 21-pack of travel bottles has you covered. This package comes with four silicone bottles, four cream jars, four toothbrush covers, two spray bottles, two pump bottles, two trowels, a funnel, and labels to keep everything straight. Whether it's a trip to Disney World or multi-generational cruise , this set makes packing for the whole family easy.
Pros : These come with toothbrush covers–a nice travel accessory that none of the other options on our list offers.
Cons : Not ideal for weekend trips or light packers.
