We tapped the founder of Standard Dose for the CBD and plant-based products that provide maximum benefits—and convenience—for travelers.
Compression socks. Gut health subscriptions. Melatonin. Etc.
If you’re a frequent traveler, it’s likely you’ve bought into more than one product or service that promises to alleviate the physical and mental stress on your body—no matter what evidence these companies have to uphold their effectiveness.
The seemingly overnight ubiquity of CBD (or cannabidiol) may leave some travelers skeptical of its merits—and some skepticism is just—but when used the right way with the right product, the adaptogenic qualities of CBD can be a great way for travelers to alleviate some of their biggest travel stressors. The question remains: Where to start?
Enter CBD retailer Standard Dose, who opened their first multi-brand wellness destination in NYC this past summer. Here, trained educators are available for guidance on the benefits and uses of over 100 specifically selected CBD and plant-based topical and ingestible products.
But even if you can’t make it into the store, Anthony Saniger, the founder of Standard Dose, shares his picks for the best CBD products for travelers below—and how they benefit a jetset lifestyle. (And yes, TSA regulations following the 2018 Farm Bill do allow you to travel with CBD products domestically. Just make sure yours are packing less than 0.3% THC.)
1. Mineral Day and Night Kit
“This tincture kit is the first thing I recommend to anyone looking to use CBD while traveling. Balance helps calm my nerves before a trip, and sleep is ideal for finding restorative rest in a new and potentially unfamiliar environment.”
2. Grown Alchemist Travel Kit
“When I’m traveling, it’s hard to count on hotels having toiletry options that I can trust on my skin. This Grown Alchemist Travel Kit has all of the plant-based essentials I need, from shampoo and conditioner to hand cream and facial exfoliant.”
3. Hora Super Serum
“Keeping my skin hydrated when I’m adjusting to new time zones and climates is crucial. The Super Serum from Hora is made with plant-based marine collagen, CBD isolate, and rosehip oil. My skin feels refreshed almost immediately after.”
4. Prima The Trifecta
“I keep these elixirs from Prima in my bag at all times, but especially when traveling, as they’re easy to mix into any hot or cold beverage. Brain Fuel boosts my focus and concentration, Rest Easy helps me wind down before bed, and The Go To keeps me calm and balanced throughout a busy day.”
