These TSA-Approved Products Are Safest for Your Skin

These travel-friendly products are perfect for travel and only created with ingredients that are safe for you.

Conventional skincare products have long relied on parabens to extend shelf life. While these synthetic compounds restrict bacteria and fungus growth in everyday products, such as deodorant, body lotion and toothpaste, they’ve have also been linked to reproductive problems, which led the European Union to ban many of them in 2012. Since the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) doesn’t have rules about cosmetic preservatives, it’s up to us to look at the labels and understand what we’re putting on our skin. Due to consumer demand, there are now plenty of quality travel-sized products on the market ready to be on our travels. So, skip the paraben-filled complimentary toiletries when you check in at hotels, and check out these products formulated with safe ingredients.
