We won’t beat around the bush: Things can get smelly in a suitcase, especially on long, active trips — and, as frequent travelers ourselves, we also know all about dry skin, low energy and the sudden hunger pains that appear while dashing around the world. Here are our latest portable solutions.
No coffee shop? No worries. You can carry your energy fix with you in snack form, thanks to Better Than Coffee bars, infused with plant-based natural caffeine. South American maca and guarana are basic ingredients, and each bar contains 100 mg of caffeine. Delicious flavors include Dark Chocolate-Coconut, French Roast, Dark Chocolate-Cranberry and Dark Chocolate-Mint. No preservatives or artificial ingredients are used, and the bars are gluten and GMO free, vegan, low sodium and free of dairy, soy and nuts (expect for the coconut). Bonus: The bars are certified kosher (again, except for the coconut).

If you’ve grown tired of road trip beverage spills and despair of paper coffee cup environmental waste, Kafé in the Box has a stylish solution. With a unique shape and splash-proof design (thanks to a sliding, locking tab), Kafé in the Box slips perfectly into a car cup holder or carry-on. The Tritan inner cup won’t have the least effect on flavor, and the double-wall insulation means your hands aren’t subjected to hot or cold surfaces. Lighter-than-typical stainless steel or ceramic travel cups, they’re created with BPA/BPS and Phthalate-free inner cups that separate easily from their PolyPro base and lid for cleaning. Available in black, bronze, silver and white, they’re also dishwasher safe.
Dry skin is a well-known byproduct of frequent long flights. While the Wild Rose Vitamin C Active Brightening Oil from Korres is almost too beautiful to use thanks to the rose petals on view through the glass bottle, its powerful soothing and rehydrating action will make it a travel bag staple. Blended from highly concentrated vitamin C oil and vitamin A oil packed with omega 3, 6 and 9 fatty acids, the gently scented oil absorbs quickly and will have you arriving at your destination glowing and fresh. Other ingredients include camapu, a botanical with anti-inflammatory properties. The product is completely free of parabens, sulfates and phthalates.

Okay, about odor: Perfect for stuffing into your shoes before you pack them, or equally suited to placing in a suitcase corner or gym bag, remodeez are toxic free and hypoallergenic, completely odorless and free of harsh chemicals. They efficiently remove odor — rather than covering it up — for up to a year through non-toxic activated charcoal created from coconut husks. With four design shapes to suit various spaces, they’re available in Footwear, For the Home, On-the-Go and For Your Auto.
And one more thing on the topic of odor: Two new, easy-to-pack, TSA-friendly sized, all-natural, personal deodorants joined the growing lineup of healthy, aluminum-free options. Sway Underarm Detox lasts impressively long, created from a water-based formula to prevent staining and residue while still packing a punch against odor-causing bacteria. Ingredients include organic raw apple cider vinegar and essential oils. Also a great choice, Lavanila Deodorant doesn’t contain aluminum, parabens or harsh chemicals, but relies instead on pure essential oils and antioxidants to combat less-than-pleasant aromas. Perfectly sized for travel, Lavanila comes in a wide range of scents including Vanilla+Earth, Vanilla+Water, Vanilla+Air, plus choices imbued with lemon, lavender, grapefruit, blackberry and coconut.
