Low-tox multi purpose beauty essentials for travel!
I am definitely a less is more when I travel. I hate overpacking and try to minimize everything that I can take. This means I look for products that are, of course, nontoxic, but also often multi use products.
This is what I am currently traveling with
Nutrient Day Cream SPF 30 Tinted
Hydrate and protect your skin all at once with this antioxidant-rich tinted moisturizer, packed with bilberry, rosehip, seabuckthorn, borage, and marshmallow for deep nourishment. Designed with all skin types in mind, this color-adjusting formula supports the appearance of an even skin tone, and looks equally wonderful when worn alone or as a smoothing primer before makeup. Zinc oxide shields skin from the sun with SPF 30, while the lightweight, fast-absorbing texture sinks in quickly for a grease-free glow.
Aida says: I use it every morning and love the even skin glow it gives me! If I need extra coverage I mix with a foundation.
Goopgenes Nourishing Repair Body Butter:
Crafted with a trio of nourishing butters—bacuri, cupuaçu, and shea—plus nutrient-dense caviar lime, jojoba, and mulberry leaf, the luxurious, citrusy formula replenishes moisture for skin that appears soft, firm, and smooth to the touch.
Aida Says: I love using daily after my morning shower. This feels thick when it goes on but then doesnt feel heavy on the skin. Works really well on my super dry skin. This comes in a rather large container, so I buy a reusable container at the drugstore and fill it with the body butter
LIVING LIBATIONS - Organic Best Skin Ever All-In-One Facial Cleanser, Exfoliator + Moisturizer
Aida says: On a daily basis I use this as a cleanser for my very sensitive skin: rub it on my dry face, get an organic towelette wet with warm water, place it over my face and then clean the oil and my face with the towelette. When I am traveling I love that this is MULTIPURPOSEd and can also be used as a natural moisturizer

Featherlash Lifting Serum Mascara
A mascara-meets-treatment-serum to lift, define, volumize, lengthen, and nourish lashes. The plush clean formula supports lash health while giving you inky-black, super defined, lifted, lengthened, naturally full-looking, ultraconditioned lashes. The rich pigment doesn’t flake or smudge, for lush, healthy-looking lashes with beautiful definition that lasts all day. The patented brush head is made with three-edged cross sections and bristles of alternating lengths that create grooves to make the mascara easy to apply without clumping,
Aida says: I love the lift and definition of this mascara but it does smudge when not fully dry so be careful right after application
Saie The Big Brush - Soft, Multi-Use Liquid Foundation Brush for Buffing, Blending & Building
Aida says: This was gifted to me from the Goop store in BRentwood right after the fires. A friend set me up and thy were kind enough to gift me all the essentials I needed after having lost everything. AMong the best products I received that I now love (yes a few are now listed here) was this multipurpose brush. It is dense yet incredibly soft, great at buffing and blending .
