Coconut oil made by a company in Chiang Mai, Thailand called Healthy Choice. Great for keeping skin that has had a lot of exposure to the sun hydrated and silky smooth. – Nancie M from Budget Travelers Sandbox

I’ll suggest Khadi skin care products (India). The other product is Nivea AfterSun Moisturizing lotion with Aloe. Best after sun care.Ever. We can’t get it in the states, either and it’s ridiculously expensive online. I’m hoping to find it in Canada when we are at TBEX in June. – Laura Ann Klein from Edgy June Travels

Love the No.7 product line available at Boots in the UK. Have been tempted more than once to have family ship a bunch of stuff over! – Corinne McDermott from Have Baby Will Travel

I always stock up on “Soap & Glory” products when I’m in Bangkok. I’ve never seen them for sale anywhere other than the UK. They have the best body scrub, pout-enhancing lip gloss “Sexy Mother Pucker” and the cutest packaging on the planet. – Bethaney Davies from Flashpacker Family

Maui babe tanning oil. – Alexandra Pucherelli from Fluent In Frolicking

I always travel with rosehip oil and josie maran argan oil. - Larissa Klymkiw 

Love this Colombian brand called Piudali. We did a story about it. – Bret Love, Mary Gabbett from Green Global Travel

I just bought this Lacvert Essance Aqua Moisture Cream and it’s amazing! Feels sooooooo soft and refreshing for just 90,000 Vietnamese dong. Gabi Klaf The Nomadic Family

Halawa wax. It’s made of sugar and lemon and it’s used instead of wax. I always have it done in Egypt. It’s a slower process but I find it less painful and more delicate on skin. – Giulia Detours Cimarosti from Travel Reportage

Vegetarian friendly soap can be hard to find in NZ and I use this great coconut one. The brand is eco-store, it’s sold at supermarkets and it smells like the beach. Makes me dream of Thailand! I can take a pic of the box if you’d like any pics for your post. – Kate Voyage from 30 Traveler

It’s not a find, but I can’t speak highly enough of Vaseline for lipcare and skincare if you’re doing rough stuff like high altitude trekking in the cold — it’s what Marilyn Monroe used as a moisturiser and it makes a really great night cream. – Theodora Ratcliffe from Escape Artistes

I used a mud from a hot springs on the mystic (known for witchcraft) island of nanciyaga in Veracruz Mexico… Helps the skin become vibrant. - Craig Zabransky from Stay Adventurous

Rosense from Turkey (mostly made in the Sparta region) — Hand creams, face cleansers, soaps - all made with rose oil LOVE it and always bring back some as gifts. – Justine Ickes from Culture Everyday

TheSkinFood Black Sugar Scrub Foam is hands down my favorite Korean skincare product. I swear by it! It smells great, and it’s gentle enough to use everyday. Sheryll Donerson from The Wanderlust Project

Not exactly a beauty product but I once found a jungle salve in Belize by Rainforest Remedies. I used it to soothe the many mosquito bites I was plagued with – why do they always come to me?!? Anyway, it worked like a dream. Loved the ingredients too: jackass bitters, gumbolimbo and aloe vera. – Keith Jenkins from Velvet Escape

Also anything by the Himalaya Herbals brand is amazing – particularly the lip balm and the foot care cream (it’s sold all over India) – Flora Baker from Flora the Explorer

In India, Biotique makes a divine Sandalwood Lotion that has an SPF rating of 50. I slather it all over me every morning when I am there; and bring back many bottles when I come home. -Mariellen Ward from Breathe Dream Go

I think it has to be Thanaka Bark from Myanmar/Burma… it may look a little odd, but it works wonders!! – Laura Davies from South East Asia Backpacker

In Fiji I discovered the brand ‘Pure Fiji’, they’ve got amazing bath products (amongst other things), such as my favourite Coconut, Milk&Honey soap bar. – Nienke Krook from Travel Tester

In Australia I discovered Sukin skincare products. All natural, plant based. Since they were made in Australia they were reasonably priced, unlike most of the offshore products. – Larissa Milne from Changes in Longitude

Oh I looove Soap & Glory! I miss those products. We have them in Ireland also. Yes, the leg and body scrub is just amazing. – Stephanie Walsh from Discovering Ice

I always carried baking soda. Great as deodorant, cleaner, and baking. – Erin Tullius with Mind over Fatter Book

Hawaii has the best suntan oil in the world. It’s called Maui Babe and is made with Kona coffee. I don’t burn when I use it and get the darkest tan ever. -Val Dawson from This Way to Paradise

Australian is home to PauPau/PawPaw cream. Soothes sunburn, heals cuts, perfect for your lips and even good for dry/cracked hands or feet! – Nicole Blaess-Smith from Bitten By the Travel Bug

I love the herbal products and especially the fragrant talcs made by Culpeper in England. My favorite shop is the one in The Market in Covent Garden in London. In fact, it is time for another visit! – Carole Terwilliger Meyers from Travels with Carole

I love & swear by my Crema de la Campana. - Lila Rygza owner of Sidewalk Runway

Lush Products

Lush solid shampoos are fabulous for travel, no plastic bottles, light and easy to carry and do amazing things for your hair. I was getting them sent over from the UK to Australia but we have more and more Lush shops popping up here, now, too. Still none in Far North Queensland, unfortunately. – Alyson Long from World Travel Family

Lush bar shampoo-cuts down on your liquids when traveling via plane. My secret is also baby shampoo. It is a great makeup remover, face wash, body wash, shampoo and you can even sink wash your clothes with it in a pinch. I always carry a small bottle with me when I’m on the road. - Jen Gaines from Directionally Challenged

I am personally addicted to Lush products as well. The shampoo bars, the waterless toothbrush tablets and their face wash are incredible! Crabtree and Evelyn make amazing conditioner that lasts for days and pint size hand lotion that is perfect to bring anywhere. - Shauntel Bruner 

Argan Oil from Morocco

So cheap to buy a big bottle of it there and it is amazing for your hair, skin, and pretty much whatever else you want to use it for. – Stephanie Walsh from Discovering Ice

Fantastic for making your hair shiny, and you can use it to moisturise your skin too – but only use a tiny bit as it can get greasy otherwise! – Flora Baker from Flora the Explorer

I second Argan oil from Morocco. Great for dry, curly hair like mine! – Maria Alexandra Laborde from Latin Abroad

In the States the Moroccan Oil brand is expensive-up to $50 for 100ml, but I got the same size bottle outside of Marrakesch for under $10. It makes your hair really soft and managable, especially for people with thick/coarse hair. You can also use it for dry skin. – Elizabeth Pitt from A Midwestern Life

Argan Oil from Morocco comes from the nut of the Argan tree and it is traditionally produced by women in coops in Morocco. – Shanna from There and Back Again Travel

We use argan oil, too – it’s wonderful! And not a beauty product per se, but oil of oregano for antibiotic properties. – Jessie Voigts from Wandering Educators

Dead Sea Mud

I love the Dead Sea Black Mud soap from the Dead Sea in Jordan. It moisturizers and exfoliates my skin. The Dead Sea Mud Mask is also fantastic and really helps control oily skin when used once per week. – Jennifer Dombrowski from JDombs Travel

Dead Sea mud from Israel for facials. Or full body. Feels great! - Vera Marie Badertscher from A Traveler’s Library
