Why Shampoo Bars are Perfect for Eco-Friendly Travel (and How to Use Them)
Why Are Shampoo Bars Ideal for Travel?
Three Hills’ travel shampoo bars are perfect for eco-friendly travel because they’re solid, completely plastic-free, lightweight, and airport-security friendly. Each handmade bar contains the same natural, SLS-free formula as our regular bars, just in a convenient travel size. Unlike traditional liquid shampoos that require plastic bottles and face airport restrictions, our travel shampoo bars allow you to breeze through security while maintaining your commitment to natural hair care and environmental sustainability.
Why Three Hills Travel Shampoo Bars Stand Out for Eco-Conscious Travellers
When travelling, choosing compact and environmentally friendly products significantly reduces your carbon footprint and simplifies packing. Here’s why Three Hills travel shampoo bars are unbeatable for your journeys:
Compact and Lightweight:
Our travel-sized bars fit effortlessly into carry-on luggage, backpacks, or gym bags without the worry of spills or unnecessary weight. Each bar weighs just a fraction of a liquid shampoo bottle, yet delivers the same number of washes.
No Liquid Restrictions:
Solid shampoo bars bypass all airport liquid restrictions (100ml/3.4oz limit), making security checks smoother and faster. No more plastic bags or travel-sized plastic bottles needed!
Handmade in Ireland with Natural Ingredients:
Each Three Hills travel shampoo bar is carefully crafted in Ireland, using pure essential oils instead of synthetic fragrances, preserving the integrity of our carefully selected natural ingredients while supporting Irish craftsmanship.
100% Plastic-Free Packaging:
Our minimal, plastic-free packaging means you’re not contributing to the global plastic crisis, even when you’re on the move.
Environmental Benefits of Travelling with Three Hills Shampoo Bars
Our travel shampoo bars contribute positively to environmental protection in several meaningful ways:
Palm Oil-Free Formulation:
Unlike many commercial shampoos, Three Hills products are completely palm oil-free, helping protect rainforests and biodiversity even as you travel.
Reducing Plastic Waste:
Each travel shampoo bar replaces at least one plastic bottle, significantly cutting down your plastic consumption. For frequent travellers, this adds up to dozens of bottles saved annually.
Lower Carbon Footprint:
Our solid bars are smaller and lighter than liquid bottles, resulting in reduced transportation emissions during shipping and in your luggage.
Supporting Sustainable, Small-Batch Production:
By choosing Three Hills’ handmade shampoo bars with pure essential oils, you’re supporting ethical production practices and sustainable, small-batch manufacturing in Ireland.

- Store bars in our reusable tins or other well-ventilated containers to keep them dry and secure
