Canary Toothpaste Tablets, Mouthwash and even Bar Soap are all great for travel and TSA approved.

Plastic-Free Travel Hacks for the Conscious Explorer

If you’ve ever stood in the travel-size aisle of a drugstore, trying to find a shampoo that isn’t wrapped in plastic and loaded with ingredients you can’t pronounce—same. The good news? Traveling plastic-free isn’t just possible, it’s actually easier (and lighter) when you pack with intention.

At Canary, we believe that sustainable choices should feel seamless—especially when you’re hopping on a plane, living out of a backpack, or squeezing everything into that one carry-on. Here’s how we (and you) can do it better:

Let's Start with What You Don’t Need

That bulky mouthwash bottle? Leave it.
The oversized laundry jug? Hard pass.
Half your toiletries? They’re mostly water anyway.

Traveling sustainably means packing smarter. Most conventional travel products are oversized, over-plastic’d, and honestly... overkill. The goal isn’t to sacrifice convenience—it’s to reimagine it.

What Does Travel Well? Our Toothpaste Tablets.

Toothpaste tubes are one of the most common bathroom plastics—and one of the easiest to swap when you're traveling. Our Toothpaste Tablets come in a sturdy, compact glass jar that’s designed for the road. No squeezing, no TSA hassle, no mystery goop leaking in your travel kit.

Just pop a tablet, chew, and brush. That’s it.
They’re light, mess-free, and easy to count out—so you’re never packing too much or too little.

The Mouthwash Hack You Didn’t Know You Needed

Let’s talk about one of our favorite travel tricks—Canary mouthwash concentrate. It’s small, powerful, and perfect for flying. But here's the game-changer:

Mix it with water before you go, then pour the diluted mix into that reusable 2oz bottle. Boom. TSA-compliant mouthwash that keeps your breath fresh on red-eyes and road trips. When you run out, just remix. And that 2oz bottle? Rinse and reuse every trip.

It’s the kind of hack you’ll end up telling your seatmate about mid-flight.

Plastic-Free Doesn’t Mean Inconvenient

One of the biggest myths about sustainable travel is that it’s complicated. The truth is, it’s just a mindset shift. Instead of packing “just in case,” you start packing just what you need. Instead of disposable, you go durable. Instead of relying on hotel minis, you bring products that work better and take up less space.

You don’t need 10 different cleaners.
You don’t need mystery-ingredient mouthwash.
You definitely don’t need to create waste in every country you visit.

What you do need are products that support your values—like ours.

Canary Was Built for This

We didn’t just make our products plastic-free for the planet—we made them functional for real life. That includes life on the road, in the air, or wherever your next adventure takes you. Whether you’re a minimalist backpacker or a full-blown itinerary-queen, Canary products are made to fit your lifestyle.

So as you start planning your next trip, think about what’s coming with you—and what you can finally leave behind. (Spoiler: it’s plastic.)
