If you fly often, you know what a hassle it is to pack your travel cosmetics. Liquids in carry-on luggage must be in containers of no more than 100 ml and fit inside a one-litre clear plastic bag. And you often have to pull them out at security too. Let’s take a closer look at a revolutionary product from nanoSPACE Cosmetics – natural cosmetic products in powder and tablet form that contain no water, no preservatives, take up virtually no space, and actually work brilliantly.
I had the chance to test these out on a recent campervan trip, and even though I was sceptical at first, they truly blew me away. I can see the biggest benefit for air travel, though – and honestly, some of the products are so good that I can’t wait for full-size versions for everyday use at home.

What’s Inside the Waterless Travel Cosmetics Set?
The waterless travel cosmetics set from NanoSPACE Cosmetics contains:
- Powder shampoo: For me, this is hands down the best product in the set – and I was actually nervous to try it. I have really long hair and almost nothing works for me (I usually buy fairly pricey haircare products). It’s incredibly easy to use: just sprinkle the powder onto your head, wet it, and lather up. It gently cleanses, removes grease and impurities, and leaves hair hydrated and silky. I’d happily use this shampoo at home too.
- Tooth tablets: Simply crunch a tablet and brush your teeth. Another product I’d gladly use daily at home. They contain hydroxyapatite, which whitens teeth brilliantly, effectively removes plaque, and strengthens enamel. An absolute winner!
- Soap tablets: I’d probably keep these just for travelling, but they work really well and smell gorgeous. Ideal for everyday hygiene, with a gentle exfoliating effect and a lovely scent.
- Mouthwash tablets: I’m not really a mouthwash person, but my husband can’t live without it – so this one’s more his territory. He says it’s great: freshens breath, eliminates bacteria, and supports oral health.

4 Benefits of Waterless Travel Cosmetics by NanoSPACE Cosmetics
- No airport liquid limits
Forget the stress of decanting liquids into tiny bottles. Powders and tablets don’t count as liquids, so you’ll breeze through airport security without a single raised eyebrow from staff. - Compact and lightweight
The set is so small it fits in your pocket. Plus, it’s ultra-light, making it the perfect choice if you’re heading off on a trek, camping, or simply want to travel with just a backpack. It pairs perfectly with a lightweight travel towel for truly minimalist packing. - Eco-friendly
It saves up to 95% of water, significantly reducing the environmental impact, transport emissions, and packaging waste. Thanks to innovative upcycled ingredients like coffee grounds and the Hydal PHA biopolymer, it not only recycles natural resources but also cuts carbon emissions by 363.2 kg of CO₂ per 100 litres of soap produced. It’s 100% natural, preservative-free, and suitable for allergy sufferers. - Long-lasting
One pack of powder shampoo lasts for up to 20 uses, the tooth tablets for about a week (though I’ve found that half a tablet is enough for one brushing, so you could easily stretch it further), and the soap tablets for around 15 days.

Drawbacks
To be fair, there are a couple of minor niggles:
- No refill packs available yet: But this is probably just a matter of time.
- Getting used to a new routine: Sprinkling powder onto your hair, crunching a tablet instead of squeezing toothpaste – it takes a moment to adjust. That said, I got used to it quickly and it didn’t feel odd at all. My husband wasn’t a huge fan of the toothpaste tablet, but personally I think it’s brilliant. As travellers, we prioritise practicality above all else – and this scores top marks.
Packaging: Practical, Light and Clever
The travel set is made from eco-friendly material dyed with coffee grounds. The packaging is sturdy, lightweight, and water-resistant, meaning it won’t break even in an overstuffed backpack. Once refill packs become available, topping up will be a doddle.

Ingredients Breakdown
NanoSPACE Cosmetics develops products that are natural yet science-backed. The powder shampoo contains Sodium Coco-Sulfate (a natural cleansing agent), while the tooth tablets use Hydroxyapatite, which helps whiten teeth and restore enamel. The products are free from preservatives and synthetic fragrances, making them particularly appealing for anyone with sensitive skin.

Why Is This the Best Choice for Travellers?
- Easy to use anywhere
Got water? Then you’ve got everything you need. Whether you’re in a hotel, a mountain hut, or out in the wild. - Saves space and weight
Instead of a litre of liquids, you’re carrying just a few grams of powder or tablets. Absolutely ideal for minimalists and outdoor enthusiasts – or really, anyone who hates lugging around unnecessary weight. - Better for the planet
It’s greener than conventional natural cosmetics. This range is not only practical but sustainable – less plastic, fewer emissions, less water consumed. - No stress with airport rules
Packing last minute? No problem. Waterless travel cosmetics save you both nerves and time at security.

Tips and Tricks for Your Vacation
Don’t Overpay for Flights
Search for flights on Kayak. It’s our favorite search engine because it scans the websites of all airlines and always finds the cheapest connection.
Book Your Accommodation Smartly
The best experiences we’ve had when looking for accommodation (from Alaska to Morocco) are with Booking.com, where hotels, apartments, and entire houses are usually the cheapest and most widely available.
Don’t Forget Travel Insurance
Good travel insurance will protect you against illness, accidents, theft, or flight cancellations. We’ve had a few hospital visits abroad, so we know how important it is to have proper insurance arranged.
Where we insure ourselves: SafetyWing (best for everyone) and TrueTraveller (for extra-long trips).
Why don’t we recommend any Czech insurance company? Because they have too many restrictions. They set limits on the number of days abroad, travel insurance via a credit card often requires you to pay medical expenses only with that card, and they frequently limit the number of returns to the Czech Republic.
Find the Best Experiences
Get Your Guide is a huge online marketplace where you can book guided walks, trips, skip-the-line tickets, tours, and much more. We always find some extra fun there!
