NxTSTOP

NxTSTOP´s aim is to incorporate sustainable practices into 100% of their supply chain and product offering over the next three years. The brand seeks to minimize new potential waste in the ecosystem while operating via reportable and ethical practices. Take less and do more.

LARQ

LARQ is one of my favorite reusable water bottle and for good reason! The LARQ Bottle PureVis™ is the world's first self-cleaning water bottle and water purification system. It uses PureVis technology to eliminate up to 99%* of bio-contaminants such as E. coli from your water and bottle. Ideal for travel, plus the bottle keeps your water hot for 12 hours and cold for 24 hours.

THINX

Thinx are washable, reusable period underwear. They look and feel just like normal underwear and they are ideal for travel! Using period underwear when traveling ensures you that you always have access to periodic protection and you don´t have the problem of finding a way to dispose of your period products. Obviously, period underwear is much better for the environment than using disposable menstrual products. Thinx underwear is also great for urine leaks, for example during workouts.

Earth Harbor

Organic and natural brands are the only ones I use on my skin and Earth Harbor is one of my favorites. Purely natural, ethical skincare with high-performing ocean nutrients & organic island botanicals. Earth Harbor´s products feel soft and my skin and leave it hydrated and glowing. Earth Harbor is carbon neutral, plastic negative, and partner with 1% For The Planet® to save marine life and solve the global water crisis. They recently started offering refills to be even more sustainable.

Vitamin A Swim

You can find me in the water a lot, so I use swimwear very often. One of my all-time favorite brands is Vitamin A Swim. Their designs are feminine and sexy and all their swimwear is sustainably and ethically produced and made with sustainable high-performance fabrics, such as EcoLux™. Furthermore, Vitamin A gives back a portion of proceeds directly to environmental organizations who help to protect our oceans.

My favorites at Amazon

I am a big fan of sustainable products, so Amazon might not be the first website you’d think of. But also on Amazon you can find many sustainable products and I have put my favorites together, so you won’t have to spend time doing that! From travel products, to home and beauty products, I’ve got you covered :)

Alo Moves

Alo Move offers not only yoga classes for all levels, but also fitness classes and mindfulness activities, such as breath work, meditation and sound baths. This is also the perfect place if you are looking to improve certain skills, such as hand stands and other inversions, backbends or your flexibility. With Alo Moves you’ll have access to thousands of videos from expert instructors in yoga, meditation, HIIT, barre, pilates, and more. I love using Alo Moves, because no matter where in the world I am, I can always work out with the trainers and work outs I like. .

Wild

Wild is sustainable natural deodorant. It is aluminum free with compostable, plastic free refills and a 100% effective formula. The reusable deodorant applicator is made from durable aluminum and recycled plastic, to ensure it stands the test of time. SInce Wild is not q liquid deodorant, it is super easy to travel with and you can leave it in your carry on. Wild is a vegan brand.
