From coconut oil jars to homemade toothpaste, these personal care products may not be too travel-friendly, looking more like products for stellar in-flight explosives than for simple skin care. Your options would be to purchase travel versions of products, which would create waste, or alternatively to buy those tiny plastic bottles which would certainly not hold enough products for your family on a three week vacation. In addition, there’s always the option to check in large containers, but then who would want to consume their precious luggage space with shampoo bottles?
