If you’re like me, you try to buy natural and organic products whenever possible, and do your best to avoid items with strange chemicals you’ve never heard of. Day to day, it isn’t easy, and it becomes even harder when traveling.
11 Natural Products for Travel
Below, I've rounded up some of the best natural products to pack on your next outing.
Wotnot Naturals Facial Wipes
After a long day of traveling, it may be convenient to pull out a face wipe and wash your face, but most wipes aren’t very environmentally friendly. These facial wipes from Wotnot are vegan, biodegradable, unscented, and made with certified organic aloe vera. Throw these in your carry-on for easy end of the day washing.
User Review: “I absolutely love these facial wipes. Aside from being completely natural, these work! They remove all of my makeup with no difficulty, even my mascara. The wipes are large enough to need only one, and they have a really nice thickness. They never tear or stretch out while I'm using them like some cheaper, thinner wipes do. They have the perfect amount of moisture, and they don't have much of a scent to them at all. The packaging is high quality and reseals very well. I never worry about these wipes drying out.”

Bach Rescue Remedy Natural Stress Relief Pastilles
How many times have you heard someone say they need a vacation from their vacation? From flight delays, dealing with not-so-perfect travel partners, overzealous tour guides and the like, we often need to destress while traveling. Pop one of these stress relief pastilles from Rescue Remedy, and you’ll forget why you even had to take one. These also calm the nervous flyer. Available in three flavors.
User Review: “I purchased these on a whim after I read about them somewhere online, and boy am I glad I did! I pop one of these in my mouth when I feel like I might be in an anxious situation and it does well in keeping me calm. It may just be a placebo effect, but I don't think so. I've recently become a really anxious traveler so I took a few of these before my flight and they worked wonders. I also used these on my wedding day since I was (naturally) extremely nervous and it definitely helped take the edge off.”

Apply this natural pain reliever to wherever you may feel pain, whether it’s your back from being squished on the plane, or your feet after a long day of walking. You’ll be amazed at how fast the pain goes away. Made from Arnica Montana, a mountain daisy.

Melatonin Tablets
These melatonin tablets from Best Naturals will help you get the rest you need while sleeping in an unfamiliar bed or redeye flight.
User Review: “This is a great very effective strength of melatonin tablets! I've been buying and taking melatonin for years. The strongest strength I can find at my local drug store is either 2 mg or 5 mg.. I've always taken a ten milligram dose, which ends up being a lot of pills to take. This strength is great, I can take just one tablet before bedtime. I use melatonin regularly because I travel a great deal and they seem to help me fall asleep fast despite time zone changes. I don't have to pack nearly as many pills as I used too. I just take one pill for every night of travel.”
Price: Starting at $11.07 on Amazon

User Review: “I really am glad I tried Maty's acid relief! It works, 2 teaspoons after dinner. It's spicy and strong but I don't need tums or Rolaids anymore, and it works for my indigestion. I'm on my 3rd bottle, no side effects.”
