Summer is the season of sun-soaked road trips, sandy beach days, and spontaneous weekend getaways. But whether you’re hiking forest trails or lounging poolside, a few smart, natural essentials can make all the difference in keeping skin nourished, spirits lifted, and pesky bugs at bay. Here are our top five Plantlife picks—each in a TSA-friendly size—so you can chase the sunshine without missing a beat.
