Dip and Bite are two more brands innovating hair and oral care products that use solids, creams and powders instead of heavy, water-based liquids Navigating airport security with a carry-on is a high-stakes – and potentially expensive – game. The 100-millilitre rule turns favourite beauty products into banned substances, and there’s the added “thrill” of wondering if a mid-flight spill will ruin everything inside your case. Enter waterless beauty products – the low-key heroes for travellers and sustainably minded consumers.
Waterless cosmetics come in more formats than you’d expect, covering all the basics and then some. Powdered cleansers and exfoliators kick things off with formulas that activate at the first splash of water, turning into gentle scrubs and cleansers. Solid shampoo and conditioner bars do away with the need for bulky bottles, making hair care refreshingly compact.
For the face, cleansing balms and oils deliver all the hydration and glow you need, melting into the skin without a trace, while solid moisturisers pack the hydrating punch of your usual cream into suitcase-friendly sticks or bars. For travellers, the perks of waterless beauty hit immediately. Solid formats breeze through liquid restrictions, reducing security stress – no more desperate digging for overlooked items, and last-second product sacrifices.
And with leakproof, spill-free formulas, those dreaded conditioner explosions are a thing of the past. The waterless movement started.
