Destined for sultry sunny climes? Stave off the sunblushed pink look with ORGANii's 100% mineral SPF 30 sun cream. The formula is water-resistant, free from chemical nasties, suitable for vegans, and ideal for all skin types. Pop it in an accessible part of your suitcase so you're ready to battle the rays as soon as you step out of passport control!
2. Matt and Nat, Coast Luggage in 'Black', £155, mattandnat.com
If you're looking for luggage but don't want to risk buying something with sneaky hidden leather zips, go for the Coast suitcase from Matt and Nat. The brand is entirely vegan, and is committed to sustainable and eco-friendly designs.
3. Klean Kanteen Insulated Wide Bottle, from £25.95, kleankanteen.co.uk
Ideal for a long drive or train journey, this stainless steel coffee mug is perfect for hot coffee, tea or even your favourite iced drinks. The leak-proof cap is easy to drink from, and keeps your bottle clean and liquids entirely contained, so you don't have to worry about pesky stains.
4. Ricola Lemon Mint Sugar Free Herbal Sweets, £1 for a 45g box, Sainsbury's
Brighten up your travels with a herbal treat from Ricola. These sugar-free, gluten-free and lactose-free sweets are packed with flavour from herbs that are grown in the Swiss mountains. Add them to your handbag for a little pick-me-up without spiking your sugar levels.
5. Sukin Hydrating Mist Toner, £6.21, hollandandbarrett.com
The combination of rosewater and chamomile helps to soothe, purify and cool tired skin, giving you a boost on your sunny travels. Use the mist after cleansing, or even after applying your make-up to add a dewy feel. And here's a top tip: keep it in the fridge to instantly refresh your skin on hot days – bliss!

7. Naturtint Dry Shampoo, £6.99, naturtint.co.uk
This shampoo contains natural ingredients such as rice and barley starch to absorb excess oil, freshening hair between washes to leave it looking and feeling soft, smooth and manageable. The dry shampoo is non-aerosol and ECOCERT Cosmos Natural certified, so you won't risk an unfortunate air pressure eruption of chemicals in your case!
8. E'lifexir Natural Beauty, £15.99, hollandandbarrett.com
