Festival shower essentials
Does your festival ticket include a shower pass? If you’ve looking for festival shower essentials, ditch the plastic and look no further than our multi-purpose shampoo bars.
These festival shampoo and shower bars are a waste-free way to wash your hair and body. They use a gentle ‘baby foam’ to cleanse deeply. We love the refreshing Eucalyptus & Mint shampoo bar.

“It’s amazing how much it lavers up with such little ease and the clean feeling and finish are great.” Phil
Best after sun and insect repellent for festivals
Heading to a festival in Scotland? If you have tickets to Tartan Heart or one of the other summer festivals in the Highlands, don't let midges spoil your festival experience! Soothe and repel with our Moisturising After Sun with Insect Repellent.
This beautifully scented lotion is DEET-free and enriched with natural Citrepel®75, which protects against biting insects for up to four hours, allowing you to relax and enjoy the music.
Why choose this after sun for festivals?
An Aloe Vera core cools and calms after sun exposure
Protects against mosquitoes, midges, ticks and more
DEET-free and suitable for all skin types
Clinically proven to be kind to skin
“I live in the Scottish Highlands and unfortunately suffer with the dreaded midges every summer, have tried everything without success until now, some still landed on me but no bites, so 100% happy.” Anne.
Best toothpaste for festivals
Are you wondering how you will brush your teeth at a festival?
If your festival food choices include sugary energy drinks, street food and alcohol, you’ll want to brush your teeth thoroughly, so pack a travel toothbrush and plenty of toothpaste.
We suggest our breath-freshening Fresh Mint Toothpaste with Fluoride, which protects your pearly whites with 1400ppm Fluoride without irritating sensitive gums. You’ll find this in our Festival Essentials Kit.
This travel-friendly kit contains all your festival must-haves, including our festival toothpaste, festival shampoo bar, festival sun cream and festival after sun. It’s the ultimate festival survival kit.
