Herban Essentials in The Strategist: A Writer’s Carry-On Ritual
From Your Carry On to Your Hotel Pillow
In New York Magazine’s The Strategist, author Celeste Ng listed the small, practical things that live in her carry-on. Alongside her travel pillow and tote, she called out Herban Essentials Towelettes as “aromatherapy in a foil-wrapped packet,” sharing her routine: wipe the phone with lavender, then tuck the cloth on the pillow to help drift off after a long travel day.
That is exactly the kind of real-life ritual we design for. Essential oil towelettes that travel well, dry quickly, and feel light on skin—easy resets for red-eye flights, hotel rooms, and the moments between stops.
Assorted Towelettes (Carry-on mix)
One pouch, five moods for a long travel day. The Assorted Pack adds options to your routine—Lavender for lights-out calm, Peppermint for a cool lift mid-transfer, Eucalyptus for a fresh, spa-clean feel, or bright Orange and Lemon for a quick citrus reset. Our essential oil towelettes are quick to use and easy to keep in a tote or seat-back pocket so you feel put together between gates.
Your Carry-on, Edited
Pack a few essentials you will actually use. Keep a Variety Pack in the outer pocket for connections, Lavender near your sleep mask for the hotel, and a Peppermint or Lemon in your wallet for that last stop before check-in. Essential oil towelettes move with you—airport to rideshare to room—so a clean, calm reset is always a swipe away.
