The essentials made in Quebec for a trip to the south

Many of us fly to warm destinations as soon as the cold shows up. Nothing better than a full dose of vitamin D and a little tan to get through the freezing months that Mother Nature gives us every year. Before you pack your bags and take off, here are some essentials made in Quebec that will become your new favorite travel companions.

Organize your suitcases

The SKATO Travel Kit, Scissor Guild

The travel kit is a must when you're away from home. To transport our personal hygiene products, we have a crush on the SKATO case from Scissor Guild. Designed for easy storage in tight spaces, the pencil case is nonetheless sturdy and spacious. Water repellent, it is easy to clean in case of damage.

The BD bag for your toothbrush, From one bag to another

In order to prevent your toothbrush from getting through your other hygiene products, we opt for the BD carrying bag from the company D'un sac à l'autre. Turning into a carry bag, it can easily be hung on a hook or in a bathroom cabinet.

For a pleasant flight

Private Flight DESTINATION travel set

This neutral-coloured travel set includes all the essentials for a comfortable flight: an extra-fine 100% merino wool blanket, a memory foam pillow with matching cover, an adjustable eye mask and a compressible reusable bag of 5L. In addition, all the elements are washable and will accompany you in each of your adventures. It is also possible to purchase the elements separately.

Take care of your skin

Certified organic by Ecocert, Druide's mineral sunscreen protects the skin from UVA and UVB rays. Its herbal and lavender scent is refreshing and its light texture leaves the skin soft and hydrated. A children's version is also available.

Sun bath balm, BÄUM

In addition to nourishing your lips, Bali balm serves as a sunscreen, with its SPF 12. If you forget your sunscreen, apply the balm to your nose to protect it from the sun's rays. Easily transportable due to its small size, keep the balm in your beach bag to have it handy at all times. Bali Balm is also useful for treating sun sensitized areas and for accelerating the regeneration and healing of your skin.

All-healing balm, BÄUM

This balm relieves the majority of minor sores that can occur while travelling: eczema, minor cuts, irritations, burns, sunburn and chapping. It's your number one ally of choice!

Runak solar range for a perfect tan

The Runak solar range contains all the essentials to maintain your beautiful complexion and protect your skin after exposure to the sun. The After-Sun Mist has been designed to refresh the skin before, during and after sun exposure. It also helps to soothe and heal the skin during sunburn. The after-sun oil, for its part, nourishes the skin in depth thanks to its moisturizing, softening and toning active ingredients. Finally, when you return home, the tan-extending moisturizing balm will now give you a golden tan that will make everyone around you jealous.

Prolonged exposure to sun and salt water can make your hair dry and damaged. Nutrient-rich Smith Farms Nourishing Hair & Body Oil restores and protects your hair and skin, leaving it looking radiant.

For the beach

Speaker and dock for iPhone, Us & Custom

Small and discreet, the Us & Coutume iPhone speaker doesn't take up much space in a suitcase. Its design allows the sound coming out of the phone's speakers to be channeled, which increases its power.
