As a vegan, zero-waste, full-time traveler, I'm always on the lookout for great vegan products around the world, and my favorites are solid products.

Solid and naked toiletries make travel easier because they're zero-waste, there's no plastic or packaging, and no liquids whatsoever - so you can breeze through airport security!

I like Lush because not only do they make fresh vegan products I can find all around the world - they also fight animal testing by not testing on animals and by only purchasing ingredients from companies that do not test on animals.

So here are some of my favorite products that are currently in my bag.

The solid I prefer to carry with me at all times is a facial soap bar.

Hotels and Airbnbs alike hardly ever leave facial soap, despite nearly everyone having a face.

Handsoaps will strip your oils and shampoos will add too many - so it's helpful to have a good face soap so you're not wandering around with a red, irritated, or dry face and causing locals to wonder what's wrong with you.

I love Fresh Farmacy because it's made with tea tree, calamine, and chamomile, so it's cleansing, balancing, and soothing all at the same time.

The second most important solid to bring along is a facial oil bar.

Whether you need a facial moisturizer, a quick glow up, lip balm, hand lotion, or foot lotion, this little luxurious butter bar can really save the day - especially in cold, windy, or dry climates when it feels like all the moisture is being sucked right out of you.

I like Argan because it's made with argan oil, vitamin E, and shea butter, so it instantly calms and soothes upset skin.

A shampoo bar is always a handy one to have because it's a perfect all-in-one.

Most accommodations will provide shampoo, but often the bottle is too little, sometimes it is flat out empty, and every now and then they just forget it entirely. 

If you arrive somewhere in the middle of the night after a long day of travel and you just want to take a shower and you open the door to a completly bare bathroom, then you will definitely wish you had brought a life-saving shampoo bar with you so you can feel like a person again.

Shampoo bars can be shampoo, shaving cream, body wash, handsoap, and even laundry soap when in a pinch - so they're the perfect travel companion to bring along without taking up lots of space or weight in your bag.

Pictured here is my beloved little bar of Seanik which lasts seemingly forever and suds up super clean with aromas of lemon oil, sea salt, and seaweed.

Whenever I find toothpaste tabs out in the world, I grab them right up!

Solid toothpaste tabs are perfect for travel, because you never have to worry about your toothpaste leaking or exploding ever again. 

Instead you have a little bite-size tab that you can just pop into your mouth with a wet toothbrush and voila - clean mouth!

These little gems come in many different flavors and they're all great, but I tend to like Boom! Toothpaste Tabs because since they're made of powdered charcoal, they really give that extra cleansing oomph.

Plus - the flavor combo of aniseed, pepper, and chili is both warm and wonderfully addicting.

Another elusive item that I always get when I can is deodorant powder. 

With tea tree, rosemary and sage, this magical formula stops any odor from even starting in the first place, plus the sodium bicarbonate in the powder prevents moisture, too. 

So powder up those pits and smell great doing it!

Last on the list is a solid perfume - a tiny stick that packs a big punch.

Some folks may think this isn't exactly a necessity, but I recommend thinking otherwise because it's extremely helpful for two very important reasons. 

One - if you're facing a long travel day, or night, or both - and you want to arrive smelling like a decent human being instead of stinking like an entire plane, train, bus, or all three combined.

And, Two - Dirty is made with spearamint oil, thyme, and lavender, which all repel mosquitos (a vital precaution in many parts of the world) - so this one is an excellent double duty fresh scent and bug repellent all in one little magic dude!
