Sea to Summit’s pocket soaps let you take your toiletries in your carry-on without worrying about Ziploc bags, 3-ounce bottles, or leaking lids. These new liquid-free, biodegradable soaps include body wash, hand wash, shampoo with conditioner, shaving soap, and laundry soap, all with a subtle green tea fragrance.

Each small plastic dispenser, which is smaller than a pack of Tic Tacs and weighs one ounce, contains 50 paper-thin leaves of phosphate-free soap that break down and lather up when wet. Just don’t expose the non-airtight plastic pouch to water or humidity or its contents will morph into a traditional bar of soap. The TSA-compliant soaps sell for $3.95 each at www.rei.com (800-426-4840) and Maine’s Kittery Trading Post (888-439-9036), or go to www.seatosummit.com.
