The Best Travel-Size Grooming Products for Spring Travel (2025)

Kelly Slater’s sunscreen line has taken the sun-care world by storm with eye-catching packaging, effective formulations and a damn cool name. The travel size is the same shape as a deodorant stick and applies like one. Just swipe it wherever you need coverage and rub in. The texture is smooth, won’t melt in your bag, is waterproof and even feels moisturizing. Gents, this is the travel sunscreen to have.

A mini shampoo with argan oil, vitamin E and B5 to hydrate, smooth and moisturize? Check. A conditioner with shea butter for moisture retention? Check. A body wash with vitamins E and eucalyptus and coconut oil to cleanse and refresh the skin? Check. And the scent? An invigorating blend of citrus, juniper, eucalyptus and mint. Just stock it already and keep it in your Dopp kit — it’s the all-in-one mini shower trio.

Blu Atlas deo stick is a go-to for me. Their aluminum-free formula uses bamboo stem extract and arrowroot powder to absorb moisture and neutralize odor, while aloe and a blend of botanical extracts bring soothing and antimicrobial benefits. The texture is a unique solid-gel-cream hybrid that, once absorbed, works overtime — and the blend of bergamot, clary sage and patchouli is herbaceously awesome.

M+G’s fantastic-smelling grapefruit cleanser foams with coconut-based surfactants, amino acids to moisturize and vitamins and antioxidants to soothe. The vitamin E moisturizer is a stellar multitasker that keeps your skin nourished and hydrated on the road. I’d be happy with just one M+G item in my Dopp kit, but an iconic duo in travel-friendly 1-oz sizes? It’s a no-brainer.

I’ve always been a big fan of roll-on oil fragrances (they work with your body chemistry like a mood ring, slowly unfolding their scent) so I was thrilled when indie-luxe fragrance house Perfumehead launched their oil format last year. I love all their scents, but the woodsy-spiced vibe of Room No — an intoxicating blend of bergamot, nutmeg, guaiac wood, palo santo, leather and vanilla — feels especially apropos for spring travel evenings out.

You’ll inevitably need a quick, on-the-go fix to wake up tired eyes, and I really dig the Oars+Alps eye stick for that. It comes in a sleek matte tube that’s easy to grip and won’t scratch up everything in your bag, and the formula packs a punch, boosting circulation while aloe, plant extracts and algae-based ingredients soothe, calm inflammation and reduce puffiness. The cooling sensation feels refreshing, too.

You can’t go wrong with the brand that re-invented the classic balm and helped bring the format into the elevated grooming sphere. Jack Black’s little blue tubes are classics for a reason, packed with shea butter that delivers instant hydration to dry, chapped lips. Go for the version with SPF 25 because your lips need protection from the sun, too.

By now, we’ve sung Marvis’s praises enough that we hope you’ve got one of those display-worthy tubes parked proudly by your sink. This Italian cult-favorite doesn’t just look good- it’s a concentrated paste that blends gentle cleaning powders to protect enamel and dentin, along with just enough fluoride and xylitol to fight cavities and keep plaque at bay. The classic mint flavor is refreshing and long-lasting — and yes, there’s a travel-size version, too.
