Looking for some convenient solutions for carry-on travel this summer? Read on for the must-have products of summer that will make packing light a breeze.
Sun Protection
Summer travel means extra space in your carry-on for everything you need to keep your skin safe. Get an all-in-one solution with the new sun Travel Essentials travel-friendly set from doTERRA.

Enjoy the Outdoors
If your summer travel plans include the great outdoors or somewhere tropical, bug repellent is a must-have addition to your carry-on bag. Adirondack Fragrance Farm‘s bug repellent wipes are a carry-on-friendly solution safe for both children and adults that provide long-lasting protection against mosquitos, black flies, and other biting insects.

Or, try Adirondack Fragrance Farm’s bug repellent balm. Crafted with all-natural, skin-nourishing ingredients like coconut oil, shea butter, and vitamin E oil, they offer a skin-friendly solution for pesky bugs and provide long-lasting relief.
All Natural
Adirondack Frangerace Farm also offers an array of additional insect solutions, including candles and sprays, that will last you the entire season, no matter where your adventures take you.
Innovative Skincare
If you’re looking for a summer sunscreen solution you’ll actually wear, it’s time to try Visor. This 100% clear sunscreen is oil-free, alcohol-free, and fragrance-free. It is considered a cost-effective dupe for Supergoop’s Unseen Sunscreen, but even better. This skin-friendly SPF leaves no unflattering white residue behind while providing anti-aging and skin-brightening ingredients like hyaluronic acid and Vitamin C that leave skin looking even more vibrant. Grab a travel-sized bottle for your carry-on this summer.
Summer Scents
This is a summer travel solution for perfume you’ll be using year-round. SAFA offers a collection of its exclusive perfumes in convenient, travel-friendly roller bottles, perfect for on-the-go use no matter where you’re headed.

It takes 30 Bulgarian Damask roses to form just one drop of this precious essential oil!
Grab and Go
Another addicting summer scent from SAFA is Vanillé, an organic blend of Vanilla Planifolia Fruit Extract and cold-pressed, organic unrefined carrier oils. This convenient roller bottle is packed with Arabian Sambac Jasmine Petals for an even more intoxicating summer scent.
Relax on the Road
Or, grab the Lavandé perfume oil roller bottle for a relaxing travel day experience, no matter where you find yourself. The lavender essence and petals floating throughout the bottle are sources from Europe, ready for their return on your European summer vacation.

Offero Collection
Make the most of just a little carry-on space with a slender and stylish Offero theft-deterrent wallet. These luxury wallets are available in black and cream premium leather. The interior is 100% cotton canvas lined with Radio-Frequency Identification (RFID) protection to keep personal information secure from digital pickpockets. The wallet also has a removable wristlet strap so it can be worn as a clutch.
Safe And Stylish
Don’t forget your personal item! Offero also makes theft-deterrent crossbody bags that offer even more protection – and style. You’d never know these stunning bags offer hidden features to keep all your belongings safe, including a slash-proof lining, RFID protection to prevent digital skimming of your personal information, and a patented combination lock connecting the straps to the bag, which allows users to wrap the strap around a table, chair, or shopping cart to prevent the bag from being stolen.
